<p>Being the international out of a non-english speaking public high school that I am, preparing for this horribly convoluted admissions process on my own was, without a better word for it, tough. It's only been 300 packs of cigarettes time, but it feels like it's been looooooooong. Stumbling upon college confidential was the best thing that could have happened for me. I've more or less always retained my lurker status, but time and time again I've received priceless advice from my "I want to go to AMERICA" days to the final stretches of my "How should I write my 'Why Columbia?' statement?" days. To everyone I've recieved help from, direct or not, I want to extend to you my heartfelt thanks. Whether I am fated to be admitted or not, it's been fun(I'm a vile, disgusting liar)!! Hope to meet you all fresh off the boat, emanating that timeless smell of classic Korean garlic!! <3<3<3<3<3<3</p>
<p>ah we were talking about how he was the only one who had anything to say other than comments on the smoking bit that I added for color. HEALTH NAZIS!!!!!</p>
