<p>JUST DON’T LIE</p>
<p>PUT WHATEVER THE HECK YOU WANT DOWN- IF YOU LIKED A BOOK- PUT IT IN THERE. IF YOU LIKED A MOVIE- PUT IT IN THERE</p>
<p>FOOLS! be who you are and not who they want you to be… because that would just be an idiotic, pathetic, and desperate move</p>
<p>i put inception- WHO GIVES A CRAP?! the tonight show, the colbert report, la la LA LA!!</p>
<p>Wow,is that all in the Columbia supp.(I haven’t seen it yet)?I just began thinking about Columbia seriously when the stuff I heard about the college got me interested,but wow,tha supp. sounds amazing for a person like me!!!</p>
<p>The supplement is quite short. It just asks what books you most enjoyed reading in class, out of class, what movies you liked, what shows/performances/concerts/exhibits you’ve seen over the past year, what you did last summer and the summer before, and why you think Columbia would be a good fit for you.</p>
<p>pwoods, where does columbia ask what you did previous summer? I don’t see that. I’m on the Common App</p>
<p>yeah… i don’t see that either</p>
<p>Alas, they must not have put it on the Columbia supplement. Last year, when Columbia still used their own separate application, there was a question asking what you did last summer and the summer before that.</p>
<p>goddamn, can people please stay current- apps change you know!</p>
<p>Wow, no need to get angry at pwoods. I mean, s/he applied last year and already got in, so it’s not like s/he would be reading this year’s supplement anyway…</p>
<p>I put Jane Austen- “Pride and Prejudice”, Dostoevsky-“Crime and Punishment”, J.K. Rowling-“Harry Potter”(THE.BEST.BOOK.EVER!), Harper Lee-“To Kill a Mockingbird”, Dan Brown-“Lost Symbol”(even though he SUCKS at writing), Leo Tolstoy-“Childhood” :)</p>
<p>haha I also put Harry potter (1-7) and the tales of beedle and bard!!</p>
<p>^^Dan brown does not suck in writing.It is only ‘The Lost Symbol’ that was subpar.Otherwise,his books are an excellent read for the intellectual individual.</p>
<p>wait wait wait, does ‘shows’ include television shows? I read in another thread that it was more like broadway shows…otherwise I would have put things like the daily show and the colbert report - can I do that?</p>
<p>Also, would it be alright to list a high school production that I really enjoyed? I specified in parenthesis that it was a high school show. Any advice?</p>
<p>AND, for the print/electronic publications - I really don’t have anything to put down. It’s not that I don’t keep up with the news, I’m just limited to television news and cnn.com (my homepage, actually). So I only have one magazine listed there…do you think that will hurt me? Or am I missing an obvious answer?</p>
<p>also, I hope I don’t alienate anyone, but I agree that Dan Brown is not a very good writer. although I confess to reading his books anyway.</p>
<p>lol voodoo i’m not trying to be judgmental here but dude…seriously?</p>
<p>you’re really going on college confidential to ask ppl how to fake the books you’ve read? I would take this as a joke usually but you sound pretty serious up there…low dude, low.</p>
<p>What if our books have commas in their titles? Columbia wants us to separate titles with commas, so how should I punctuate the title without it being too confusing?</p>
<p>use semicolons.
ex: prozac nation; girl, interrupted; black swan.</p>
<p>lol kubiler no big deal I encountered the same problem and used commas anyway lol</p>
<p>“Use Commas”</p>
<p>This.</p>
<p>
Where is this?</p>
<p>Dan Brown sucks.</p>
<p>katzmeow, what if you put cnn.com down under the print/electronic publications? It’s sort of along the same vein… IDK though.</p>
<p>@breakdown Did you actually list those on your app? Is it fine to use films that weren’t released this year?</p>
