To go back to the original post:

The admission officer that spoke to us when we visited Columbia insisted that one of the most important tasks of the Admissions Committee was to make up a class that would be interesting and challenging enough to make their teachers happy and wanting to teach. And unless you applied you wouldn't know if you had something to offer that they wanted. They know you all are intellectually capable. Interesting enough? That's another story.

That was one of the many things he said and his presentation was by far the best one of all the ones we attended.
