<p>yep, i got a likely letter
pm me if you want to see my “why columbia”</p>
<p>i’m not sure if they will appreciate mine or not…</p>
<p>I am entirely comfortable in describing Columbia’s collection of books as beautiful. I could easily picture myself spending many a day simply exploring the array of archives at its numerous libraries. Along with this, so does the location of Columbia appeal to me. Although most people do love the city of New York, coming from a small town in Idaho, I feel that Columbia’s location will allow me the greatest opportunity of all universities to explore diversity and venture into the ever-growing society. I will be able to take part in shaping the future, rather than just watch from the sidelines.</p>
<p>One in 8 million</p>
<p>Mine isn’t so great but here >_<</p>
<p>Being an eclectic student, I take deep interest in Columbia’s ample course offerings. Although I know I want to pursue studies involving foreign languages and language itself, I am confident that Columbia will offer me a rigorous academic curriculum regardless of the course of study I choose to follow. This being said, one of the features of Columbia University that appeals to me most is the Language Resource Center. The Language Resource Center ensures I will be able to continue my studies in foreign languages and dive deeper into the hearts of foreign cultures.</p>
<p>I used up every character</p>
<p>I ran out of room, and so mine is really choppy (I wrote it the day it was due). I quoted an Oliver Sacks book (but didn’t have room to write which book), and said how I would be able to talk about neuroscience with anyone just from different perspectives</p>
<p>I’d be nice to see more of these so… Buuuummmmmmppp!</p>
<p>did any of you talk about specific classes or centers of this or that in your why columbia essay?</p>
<p>looking at all of these, i’m getting increasingly concerned that mine is too generic…</p>
<p>It’s 2 am. My roommate and his girlfriend are still talking about Plato, keeping me awake. I begin to reflect on the previous day which started at 11:00 am when I rushed to Professor Dosemeci’s course on Radical Democracy. After class, I grabbed lunch at Tom’s Restaurant, where I alternately rolled my eyes at tourists taking photos of the famous diner, studied The Republic, and argued with my friends about the upcoming congressional election. I realize that Columbia’s unique mix of intellectual stimulation, diversity, and New York City location is a gift that was worth the struggle.</p>
