<p>I'm currently a Junior at a magnet high school where my class is the first class to graduate (2006). I guess you can say the students in my school are highly competitive. </p>
<p>I found out that 4 students from my school are interested in Columbia. Two have parents who attended Columbia and they are both smart. The other two are in the same position as I am. </p>
<p>4 people applying to Columbia = NOT SO GOOD</p>
<p>*Please, if anyone can give me some advice in beating the other guys, feel free! I'm very interested in attending COLUMBIA ED! I have visited there and all I can say is AMAZING.</p>
