Is anyone thinking the same thing…first world problem? Seriously poster, congrats to you - you will be successful at either of these tremendous schools. Columbia is a fantastic choice, enjoy the rowing team and life there. It will be great.
@blueskies2day No, I wasn’t thinking the same thing. This is what most of College Confidential is, very smart kids trying to get into the Ivies or other top 50 schools. Discussions like this, helping students make the best decisions for their future, is sort of the entire point of College Confidential. If that is what you see when you look at this post I would think that is what you would when you read most threads. I’m sorry I just think that was an unnecessary comment.
@cathJR The OP has already committed to go to Columbia as a crew recruit (see post #4). This thread is basically the OP second guessing him/herself. Given that a decision has already been made by the OP, the advice to be happy with Columbia and have a great experience there is not inappropriate in this case.
@happy1 I was commenting more so on the first world problem comment rather than the wishing of luck to the OP. I hope as well that the OP loves Columbia.
