<p>i knowww! i keep thinking that if i just put something really unusual that it may have helped my chances? but i dont know, i dont think theyll really make a decision based on that</p>
<p>computer science weee</p>
<p>PKAT44, I don't think that a really obscure major will help you unless maybe only 3 people applied for their Women's Studies major (if that exists at Columbia, lol, I'm just trying to think of something obscure) and you were one and you're bordering on being accepted. As in, it would have to be really obscure, almost no one else applying, and you pretty much would be accepted anyways.</p>
<p>naaah guys i mean you should put down what youre interested in. you don't want to put something down thats not you just because its obscure... i kind of have this attitude now -- if they don't want me, i don't want them!</p>
<p>:) but i'm anxious</p>
<p>"if they don't want me, i don't want them!"</p>
<p>haha i like that philosophy</p>
<p>I need to kill time and stop obsessing over this, but I'm procrastinating by using the CC board.</p>
<p>What will you guys do if/when you get in?</p>
<p>Personally, I still don't know; it will involve crying, calling close friends and just flipping out thanking God for the miracle.</p>
<p>If I get accepted the first thing I'm going to do is clear my CommonApp account because I WON'T HAVE TO DO ANYMORE APPS! haha</p>
<p>oh, and major interests i put:
1) Neuroscience & Behavior
2) Music
3) Biology </p>
<p>btw did anyone apply for the Columbia-Julliard Exchange?</p>
<p>Oh, and I chose the Econ-Philosophy major (which is prob pretty popular)</p>
<p>I was thinking about applying to the Columbia-Juilliard Exchange... but the chances are slim to none and I couldn't push myself to do all that preparation. SO i just put music as my number one major interest. Followed by economics and dance.</p>
<p>If I get in, I am going to send out a mass text message to all my friends because they've all said that they want me to let them know. Call family. Run around. Scream. Add Columbia 2013 to my education on fbook hahahaha. Good idea about deleting the Common App account! Join the Columbia group on fbook. BE HAPPY.</p>
<p>I'm taking SAT IIs this coming Saturday...that's too late right??haha</p>
<p>haha. ive already planned what im gonna do too. (i hope i didnt jinx myself...)</p>
<p>im gonna really want to tell my friends, but it will be more exciting if i tell them in person so im gonna wait for the next day to see them. then im gonna walk into school like im really depressed and go up to their locker and be like <em>sad</em> . . . of course they're gonna know that the results came in last night so they're gonna be like, "oh dude im sorry, that sucks" and im gonna be like, "I GOT IN!!!!!" and we're all gonna scream and be exciting and start a party in the hallway.</p>
<p>and then im gonna have to try really hard to care about school anymore.</p>
<p>haha that's awesome</p>
<p>haha i can't even think about it.. sometimes i catch myself imagining getting in but then im like NO! STOP IT ME! because i know that i'm just setting myself up to possibly be crushed. So i'm just trying to take it as it comes.. although i'm definitely attached to the university now, and if i don't get in i really don't know what i'm going to do.</p>
<p>i do that all the time too. you know what's really crazy? some of us will spend the next four years together and could become best friends.</p>
<p>well if we all get in we can work on that friendship thing :] haha</p>
<p>definitely =]
i really hope all of us get in! haha i know wishful thinking.
but i think more than what im going to do if i get in, i need to plan ahead for stuff if i get deferred/rejected :(</p>
<p>What extracurriculars/sports are you guys thinking of doing once/if you get into columbia?</p>
<p>jpd8891, that's a really nice way of looking at this!
it was kind of amazing to see the empathy in the past early decision threads and it seems that stress/paranoia makes us all family haha.</p>
<p>well they have so many amazing extracurriculars to choose from! so i think ill really want to try getting into some new stuff. I also want to look into founding a circle k, because ive been on the board of my high schools key club for all four years, and i didnt see that cu had one. i know there are a lot of other key clubbers coming to cu to so hopefully itll work!
and hey, anyone else wanna give fencing a try? haha</p>
<p>ahhh i can't let myself think about what i'm going to do if i get in, but i always catch myself daydreaming about just that! although last night i dreamt i got deferred and it was so real that when i woke up i really thought i had, and i was really upset! but i'm definitely getting too obsessive. i need to just think about something else for two weeks!</p>
