<p>cheer up! You can't be depressed again! <em>sings happy song</em> Come on, you're the perfect canidate for Columbia, they can't pass you up. So what if your SAT's and SAT2's aren't what you want them to be, Columbia cares about who you are as a person, what you've done, what you're passionate about. Standarized testing was created to cater to certain groups, it doesn't determine who you are, and Columbia knows that. In just a few days, when you're accepted, you'll wonder why you had even worried.</p>
<p>Honey, you need to get a grip and some perspective. No college is the be all and end all. Your thoughts about Columbia would scare me if I was your parent. You can't pin your hopes on one school, especially when your statistics are below the average there. My daughter is also applying and she knows with a 1490 it's far from a shoo in. Her older brother did not get into his choice colleges so we've been there and I'm glad she has that perspective. For all of my younger kids I am discouraging the one college mentality. So get out the books and choose some schools that you can also love!</p>
<p>geez.. don't tell me what to do... my parents are actually NOT worried or SCARED as you say they might be..
i'm sorry if i'm being rude..
but i'm applying to 9 other places too... i do love columbia a lot, but i've got back ups and i am thinking realistically.. otherwise why would i be slaving away doing 9 other apps..</p>
<p>i can love columbia as much as i want.. i don't need to be called HONEY and told what i should do..
i'm very glad for your kid with 1490.. best of luck</p>
<p>this is just a stressful time of year...for everyone. no matter what college anyone applies to, people are always going to worry, and no one can tell them not to. jsut the way it goes! I told myself I woudln't obsess/worry over colleges, and I am. It's the senior thing to do! once we all get into a college and are sure about the next four years of our lives, things will calm down...but until then, obsession and stress are just about the only ways to get around it.</p>
<p>"nd no one can tell them not to. jsut the way it goes! I told myself I woudln't obsess/worry over colleges, and I am." - thanks sam.. my point exactly!</p>
<p>only seniors will know what this feels like.... ahh just let us be.. i want to obssess..i need to..</p>
<p>hmm no response from kirmum?</p>
<p>HAHAHAAHA ahhh my SAT I and GPA is both lower than the "extremely lucky girl" and she probably had some really really special talent..or had a disability or something.</p>
<p>Silver, relax. I'm just trying to say life works itself out. I started reading the Columbia posts a few days ago and it was hard not to notice that you have a lot riding on this. I've seen so much hurt when a kid is set on one school. Best of luck to you in finding a college that will make you happy!</p>
<p>everyone deferred me because of my weak ECs....but i have my reasons, it's not like i didn't want to participate in school clubs...I mean, i have to go to my parents' store to help out..i'm from lower middle class and my family can't afford to hire part time worker so i have to work...and i'm not the type of person who goes club 3times a year and bring bunch of friends only on the day of election and get elected and then never go again...i find that disgusting...but the guy who also applied early from my school is president of this one club and he never showed up again.....</p>
<p>isn't columbia mainly a "SAT or numbers" school? i know numerous people who've gotten into columbia with 1500+ but with lousy lousy lousy grades and no ECs. correct me if i'm wrong.</p>
<p>I SURE HOPE NOT, lolboyer!</p>
<p>I hope not... or else I am screwed.</p>
<p>haha same. even though i posted that.</p>
<p>i don't think so...i know someone who got in with a 1270.</p>
<p>correct me if im wrong, but i remember hearing somehwhere that CU is one of the least numbers-oriented ivies.</p>
<p>mmmm am i supposed to be happy or what?</p>
<p>yes. you are supposed to be happy, dammit.</p>
<p>"everyone deferred me because of my weak ECs." => am i still supposed to be happy?!?!</p>
