i would kindly request all RD applicants to introduce themselves.
I am from the tiny land of Bangladesh.
I took a gap year for some social work. My academics are average. I have a special interest in law but I am applying to CC as an Econ major. Is that a bad thing as all applicants indicate they wish to major in Eco??
The chances of getting into an IVY for me are very remote but I submitted my Admissions Part 1 and am currently struggling to decide on an essay topic. CC essay topic is "topic of your choice" with some general pointers. I am kind of lost..

"i really want to see what the entire app is like"-rastafarian
if you are an applicant in common app. the entire app is nearly the same. columbia requires only 1 essay though. atleast thats what i think. =S
Da Bears Fan, where are you from?
for everyone, a little stats would be nice. =)
by the way, columbia gives a lot of personal attention to applicants doesnt it?
i submitted app part-1 only and i got this letter from a columbia alumnus whos interests and activities exactly matches mine. he is the president of NACCP. did anyone get a similar letter?

I'll be applying (if I don't get into MIT EA) to CC for physics. I'm hoping it helps that I'm from New York. Haven't really decided on an essay topic yet. It may end up being a modified version of my commonapp essay or one of my MIT essays. I'm not liking the broad essay topics...

I'm from Texassss. 
And I'm applying ED too. Yeah, having one essay is crazyy.
@ motshokonna: "submitted app part-1 only and i got this letter from a columbia alumnus whos interests and activities exactly matches mine."
Wait. Did we even have to list our activities and interests in Part 1? It's been soooo long since I submitted it, I don't remember. But I thought that was for Part 2?
