<p>i recently received my evaluation/recomendation letter for the Columbia Summer school. i was very surprised that i got a very positive evaluation and said i was one of the best in the class. will this help in columbia admissions at all? btw, its not like i am considering this a hook or a major achievement, but will an admissions officer take into consideration that a person who attended the summer program, who did well, and who is interested in Columbia College may be a good candidate? </p>
