<p>hmm i'm just wondering..
actually..what kind of people that columbia is looking for? what kind of contributions that they expect from the students??what sorts of qualities are important for them??</p>
<p>^^Uh, there’s no exact answer. </p>
<p>But Columbia students are commonly academically motivated, engaged in the world around them, and have a wide range of academic interests.</p>
<p>Pretty much work hard play hard.</p>
<p>don’t lie cerberus!</p>
<p>they want:
- perfect attendance in school
- you have to have sat at the front of your classes
- you have to know all your classmates by name and date of birth especially if you go to a large public school
- you have to have memorized the columbia fight song:</p>
<p>roar lion roar,
and wake the echoes of the hudson valley…</p>
<p>5) you need to be able to quote admissions statistics in your application average SAT score over the years etc.
6) you must show some physical prowess, climbing a mountain is a basic pre-requisite
7) if you haven’t started up a book reading club don’t even bother applying, honestly.</p>
<p>8) Also, if you haven’t saved at least one whale from the scourge of the Japanese government, you can forget about hte rest of the Ivys</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i’m just wondering… actually… if you know how to use the SEARCH. Your question has been asked and answered a million times.</p>
