wg: That's exactly how I feel, but I've decided that I shouldn't let $$ influence my decision of applying ED. The chances of getting in ED are a lot higher, but I'm sure that CC will accommodate any financial problems you have to some extent? Hopefully? :P

yeah, all the ivies are accomodating...but it's always nice to be able to compare. i guess in the end the decision is based mostly on school preference and not financial aid.

also, i want to take advantage of ED because 1) you can be finished with apps by november 2) i have enough time to really really focus on one school 3) higher chances and opportunity to show deep interest in school... so, 99% chance i'm applying ED to columbia hope i get in

Haha no bro. The light blue thing that says Downloadable application. Under "Students must apply online unless they do not have access to the Internet" and above "By clicking here, you can view a paper version of our fall 2009 Application for First-Year Admission."

haha me --> NYC baby. CC is one of the most prestigious university located in the best city in the world. Too bad LA doesn't have something like this :P

I like the CORE too. It forces you to take classes you may not want to take and I heard you learn a lot from it.
