<p>So it's only two days since I submitted my ED application to Columbia, and I'm already an anxious wreck. The rational side of me long ago concluded that I have practically no chance of being admitted, but that hasn't stopped my more dominant delusional side from continually reviving the possibility of being admitted in my mind. Here's one last chance thread; keep in mind, I'm only trying to blow off steam and consume my fretting mind. Sorry if I'm a bit annoying. </p>
