<p>Essays: It was definately different. I wrote about typical teenage activities (eating and Facebook) and how they've helped me balance my social life with a super busy schedule, and the fact that I have to try every food 3 times has opened up my mind to other different cultures and situations. </p>

<p>Interview (Columbia): Went really well I guess. He said he would write me saying he "strongly recommends me"</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
