<p>Too bad she’s already a member of the Columbia Engineering Class of '15, BUTCH!
I just wanted to see how accurate you guys at CC are, and my predictions deem valid; you guys are so harsh towards people. Besides, half of you guys are fakes and lie about all your grades. …just sayin</p>

<p>If “Guyanese” is an URM then that makes sense…</p>

5

<p>@EliKresses - no, Guyanese is NOT a URM</p>

6

<p>Then again, 4/700 class rank and 1000+ service hours is rather impressive…</p>

<p>good job OP. i totally agree that Columbia looks at a lot more than grades. </p>

<p>let’s see how you perform in my classes in the coming years ;)</p>

<p>LOL!</p>

<p>you do come across as a little bit naive but if this makes you that happy… :)</p>

<p>I’m sorry, how does that make me naive?</p>

<p>Guyanese is certainly a URM. Even so, it’s pretty impressive that someone with only an 1860/2400 on the SAT I and a 640/800 on Math I was admitted to SEAS. Clearly, her essays and teacher recs are much better than “decent.” So congratulations to your friend!</p>
