Other comments on columbia: I'm going to strangle the next person who asks me where I want to go to college and then asks me why I want to go to another country when I tell them Columbia University.
o one last question: what would be your first reaction (or action) if you are accepted on Dec15th: I would probabley start jumping up and down, screaming at the top of my lungs "I win, I win." Then I would go to IHOP and get a bacon burger and fries (the one by me makes great hamburgers), then go to the supermarket and buy like 5 boxes of frozen fruit bars, then go home, eat all that food, vomit, then call all of my friends to tell them that I'd gotten into Columbia. Then I would start trying to read as many of the books on the literature humanities reading list as I could before going to Columbia. Then nine months later, I would start attending Columbia. Then, 3 years and ten months later (hopefully), I would graduate from Columbia, and be the happiest person in the world. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

<p>hahaha! my daughter said she heard the same thing a few times!
geez, I figured it was because she was from the west coast (SF Bay Area) but you are from NY!!</p>
<p>No, I haven't entered any math competitions, but I probabley should have 'cause I'm pretty good at math and I think that things like math comps. look good on college applications.</p>
<p>In terms of admission chances, I just meant overall, not early decision, not regular decision, just whether or not I'll be going to Columbia next year.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that about half the people with the "another country" response are trying to be funny. I wouldn't be that annoyed if someone flat out didn't know, but when someone believes that something that unoriginal is outrageously funny, it annoys the heck out of me.</p>

(i wish.)
anyway, good luck to everyone! do you guys know what your essays are going to be about yet? i've realized that that's one of the most important aspects of the application, so i'm working super hard on finding "the perfect topic." hopefully it will just fall into my lap - before november first.</p>
