<p>I'm at Emory. Why was this thread started and why did you post on it if you didn't expect other people to add comments? I'll tell you right now - Columbia is not going to accept everyone on that list, like you all seem to think. If it does, then that's extremely lucky and rare. I used Columbia's statistics and my own personal opinion to choose the people, and it's strictly that - my personal opinion. I don't think just because I was rejected that I can particularly gauge the decisions, and I definitely did not reject people because I was rejected. If I was bitter about my rejection, I would have rejected nearly everyone - but I didn't. I in fact accepted more people than Columbia's actual ED acceptance rate.</p>
<p>silver_wavez - I definitely did not do this out of pity because I did not read ur posts in which you said that you were sad, I just submitted this list this morning and did not get past the second page.
I wrote these predicitions based on what I and other people in my school think are the best credentials for acceptance. Columbia and a lot of colleges want diversity, students from other countries (even though ur IB) especially ones with ur grades are likely to get accepted (I think so).</p>
<p>im_collegebound, you can instant message me: Cormeister37</p>
<p>Since ur at Emory - what do you think my chances are of getting accepted to the Scholars Program because I applied for it. I did visit - I liked the campus a lot but the surrounding area wasn't that great.</p>
<p>alright copper.. fair enough...
good luck to u then..
emory is good.. why do u not like it there?</p>
<p>"(even though ur IB)" - what do you mean by that?
well thanks anyway rushin... u put a lil smile on my face.
good luck to u as well! :) cheers mate!
o and whats ur aim sn?</p>
<p>Are you actually from Singapore or are an American studying there under the IB program because that makes a difference.</p>
<p>Ugh, Emory. My mom used to work there.</p>
<p>Ugh, Atlanta.</p>
<p>I'm a Korean who's living in Singapore..</p>
<p>O ok then that is good, my decision stands.</p>
<p>cool cool. are u on aim?</p>
<p>yea - beardedrunner</p>
<p>there was a reason I didn't put my name on that list. I'm waiting for columbia to make that judgement when the time comes, not a bunch of high school students. No offense guys I love you :) but you aren't qualified to decide whether or not I get into columbia. I think this board should be more about support than anything, not predictions.</p>
<p>yup.. sam's right!</p>
<p>If you got REJECTED, why would anyone want to listen to you? lol.</p>
<p>Everyone is so damn serious, calm down.</p>
<p>Another thing, none of these people read our applications, sat through our interviews, or saw each and every grade we got in our classes. So why does it matter?</p>
<p>Exactly, why does it matter? Hence, why are you getting so bent out of shape about a thread that you CHOSE to participate in?</p>
<p>lol this is why i did not participate. it doesn't matter what anyone says. it's not over till it's over! i'd be worried even if everyone said i was guaranteed acceptance.</p>
<p>would it help if I said i got national merit scholarship commendation letter, sent art portfolio (i've been taking high school art course since 8th grade..) can (sorta) sign language, the reason why i couldn't really participate more in clubs is because i gotta work at my parents' store almost every day...which leaves me only little time study and virtually impossible to participate in after-school activities..but i've managed to hold 2 leadership positions in before-school clubs..one of them was about to disappear because there were about 5 people in it but i've made that club work by holding school's first multicultural fashion show & food day....and i've won school budget for that club...and mentioned them in interview.......ooph...i sound desperate.........................................</p>
