<p>Ok..the closer I get to dec.10th...(or 13th...??) more and more i get depressed...i'm like..."why did i even apply? i was so delusional.."and feel like crying -<em>-; and just go to sleep and never wake up.. -</em>-;;I hear all these amazing people getting rejected..and get more depressed...and then i think about that guy in my school who also applied early to Columbia and suddenly wanna strangle him..i think i'm going crazy i look for any good signs that will somehow indicate that i get in and before i go to sleep, i pray that i have a dream that is the prophecy of my getting into Columbia... i'm becoming really sensitive these days and i glare at anybody in my school who's applying to Columbia...and i come to this site every day and ready every single entries and spend hours on it...so i don't study for my test and my first quarter grade in senior year is the worst in my life in highschool...I want to stop thinking about Columbia but i can't which depresses me even more....i don't know what to do...and i'm probably gonna cut school and wonder around, not being able to find meaning in life, if i get rejected from Columbia...somebody, comfort me!!</p>
<p>"My highest SAT score is verbal:710, math:780"
THAT IS PRETTY FRIGGEN GOOD!</p>
<p>huh?? how did you know that? I thought that thread got deleted..</p>
<p>nope... do u want me to delete it?</p>
<p>guys... let me make you all feel better. I applied with a 1270. I just got low 600s on my SAT IIs. my GPA is 3.2-ish... I do have some pretty damn amazing ECs (a summer internship at Ernst and Young, run 3 businesses, use profits to donate to local charities, blah blah blah), my recommendations are also as good as they come, but my transcript and standardized test-scores don't reflect it... Just imagine that 300 more people like me applied or something. I'm sure you'll feel better.</p>
<p>Theres this one girl in my school that is counting down the days and reminds me everyday. Just don't think about it. Right now I'm worried that I might not have done good in AP Physics this marking period, luckilly the grades aren't out yet, so Columbia will never know to say the least.</p>
<p>i hope u make it!</p>
<p>lol... I don't care... I spent time there. I didn't like the amount of drug abuse I saw... a bit too much if you ask me. Also, I sat in on a physics class... it was just ridiculously hard (engineering physics that is).</p>
<p>welll only 72 applied..mag...GL...i think u have a good chance..i think columbia should pick out those unique things like runnin a business..</p>
<p>ahh I doubt it. Really, columbia is an enchanting place at first; I have to admit that just walking on the campus and seeing people playing frisbee (which never happens aroun' here) on the lawn, and all the people rushing for class, the ones making out, etc. it all had a big impact on me.</p>
<p>I visited Columbia twice...and i've never had that feeling when i visited any other universities...the moment i stepped into Columbia campus, i felt..electrons flowing through my body......i was like.."this is the place i belong...nowhere else!" it was just...so different, you know? i don't care if harvard or yale or princeton gives me full scholarship...i just want to get into Columbia..</p>
<p>it is great..isnt it..i love walking on their campus..its like this secret society w.i the city..its crazy and pretty!</p>
<p>and, yeah, i saw people playing guitar on steps of lo memorial library..and discussing Plato...and when i visited the second time, i promised "the next time i'm coming here, i'll be Columbia student.."</p>
<p>yea, the people I met were pretty cool though... I just walked around the floor and some guy asked if I wanted to play halo against some people on the floor, at the same time he was explaining to me how "beautiful" some math problem was. I loved it ^_^.</p>
<p>Columbia is magical. It really is electric and draws people into it. I feel the same way as you do jskim. We'll know soon enough... for better or for worse, it'll be over soon. Good luck, and try to find some time to enjoy in the next 10 days.</p>
<p>"i'm like..."why did i even apply? i was so delusional.." lol so funny.
jskim you're korean right? where do you live?</p>
<p>I honestly feel the same way sometimes... My friend (who applied Stanford EA) and I always sit around asking ourselves.. Gosh Are we really delusional?</p>
<p>Hmm.. maybe I'm actually living in an illusion like Willy Loman...
Ah.. pray, I hope not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>but seriously sweetie .... "and i'm probably gonna cut school and wonder around, not being able to find meaning in life".... don't think that way..
yeh it's gonna hurt so bad if u get R.. but really it's not the end of the world.
hmm... i've posted a few "inspirational" posts somewhere.. i dunno if u can find it but umm.. really just have hope...
you will end up very happy even if u dont get into columbia.. it'll all fall in to place...
just keep the faith :) and never give up...</p>
<p>yeah, i'm Korean..and i live on long island, which means no diversity (although i certainly think i CAN bring diversity...but obviously, Columbia doesn't think so) i hope i see you at Columbia next year..as Columbia students!!</p>
<p>no diversity?..eh..depends where..i think its becoming pretty darn diverse..</p>
<p>no...i didn't mean long island isn'nt diverse, but my status isn't diverse..Korean student living in long island=>not very interesting....</p>
<p>o hehe....okie</p>
<p>where in LI jskim?! i go to half hollow hills sd</p>
