I've been a regular reader and contributor to the CU forum, and I've enjoyed sharing the experience of all the Columbia hopefuls. This new forum is a place for those CC members who plan to be cheering on the Blue Lions in the fall. Good luck with the rest of senior year, and with your Broadway debut this fall!

Thank You Roger!!

You've been particularly helpful since Cotober at commenting from time to time at the Columbia threads and helping me with thread control.

I really appreciate the work you've done and the whole CollegeConfidential team, don't know how I could've made it through all this without the help from this site and its terrific participants.

We aren't yogurt or a country. We are, however, a manufacturer of shoes! Columbia.

The people who've always made the country/Colombia (Is that the country?) comment to me surprised me more that they knew Colombia was a country than that they didn't know the college.

Of course, on the other hand, I've come across misinformed coffee shops selling varieties of beans including "Columbia Supremo".

Hey there, of course that more people know about Colombia than about Columbia, man, a country is better known than a school. But anyway, what was the yogurt Jono was referring to?
Whatev... It's good to be Columbian!!!!

Colombo brand, since 1929

. . . . 33% more than Dannon

atu23 · 06-17-2005, 10:03 AM

I don't think we've got that down here, I eat Dannon

jono · 06-17-2005, 11:05 AM

I eat Stew Leonard's brand, the world's largest dairy store. I put a spoon of brown sugar in my yogurt today, and it was really good.

This thread is becoming quite a thing, we should begin an independent one called "what yogurt do you take for breakfast?" The academic impact of it might get us a PhD scholarship

Hi my name is Josh.
I did ok in high school with 3.3 GPA and 1100 on the SATS. I knew I couldnt get into a columbia. I feel I have a chance now because I have currently at 3.46 GPA at Hofstra University in Long Island NY.( I was taking advance political classes- classes that are suppose to taken during senior year) I recently taken an internship at mediation/arbitration company which I met this mediator which I am hoping for him to write a recommendation for me. He graduated from Columbia and Columbia law. He is also partner in one of the top ten law firms in country and represented very famous clients too when he was praticing law. I am also getting this recommendation from a professor who was previously a contracts law at merril lynch. So the question I am asking what does GS look at in terms of getting in. I have to say anything associated with Columbia is pretigious that why they dont call it ivy for no reason. I am just scared I wont get in- any advice for someone who trying to transfer out. I really want a columbia degree because I want envy when ppl see it and I want to get into columbia law school.

P.S. Does sending in a picture really mean anything thanks.
