Columbia accepted/current students: How'd You Do It?

<p>I want to know how you made it in and if you have any tips/suggestions/warnings about admissions as well as high school curriculum leading up to applying :) Thanks!</p>

<p>Take the most rigorous classes at your school and do well in them. Take full advantage of all the resources around you. And don’t cross-post this in 20 different college forums. Oh wait… you already did that.</p>

<p>Haha it doesn’t hurt to be curious! Sorry if I, uh, offended you? But i would think the different college threads would be for each unique college! Not just a general thread! Like I said before, “the different threads are for, again, the different schools they refer to. Many schools have different qualifications/preferences. For example, Umich values AP classes more than honors, while Princeton may value well-rounded ness more. It all varies and that’s why I asked.”</p>

<p>And like I said before, ALL schools value AP classes more than honors, and ALL schools prefer wellroundedness over well… non-wellroundedness. You’re asking the wrong questions and it should be up to you to find the quirks of each college.</p>
