<p>Well,
I have read this board religiously from the time I started the application process until now. I have laughed with you, and I have grown anxious and worried with you. Now I will part with you.</p>
<p>I simply do not think that it is healthy to come here so often. I do not have any questions. It seems that no one needs my help. I have a group of friends and a pile of homework that I have equally neglected. My application is in, and now all I can do is be satisfied with who I am and what I have to offer. </p>
<p>I have cried sometimes because I wanted to go to Columbia so badly. The thought of rejection frightens me to my very Core. (no pun intended) But I will deal with that. I will not try to find solace in these boards. I will find solace in my Lord.</p>
<p>I have been a relatively good student and I have done all that I can. Now I will simply pray. I will pray for you all, and I will pray for myself.</p>
<p>I will not return here until I actually have a valid question or I know whether or not I got in. When I do I will dutifully post the decision and my stats, because that is what I would want someone to do for me. </p>
<p>I hope you do not spend the next 23 or so days stressing. Well, we will all be stressing but also try to get out and live. There is life outside this board, outside those apps, and outside this cold screen. !!!LIVE!!!</p>
<p>I really am sometimes amazed by the quality of people on this board. I hope we all get in because I would love to meet all of you at Columbia. Until then,

<p>Good Luck, and
God Bless.</p>
