<p>Columbia13, are you male or female?</p>
<p>I notice that you now have 10 posts, since the time you first “joined” CC on 4/11/09. One was to post your SAT score over on the Columbia board (so typical…) – the other 9 are to come over hear and behave like a spoiled little kid at a womens’ tea party. (There are some standards of courtesy and decorum that Barnard women observe).</p>
<p>I’m guessing that you probably aren’t really a brand new member of CC. Call me crazy, but I’ll bet that you were previously posting as a Harvard wannabe, but after being rejected by Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn & probably Stanford, you have now discovered your “pride” in Columbia, as the highest- US News - ranked university that actually accepted you. Perhaps, under another s/n, you are still holding out on a waitlist for a higher-ranked school? </p>
<p>Who knows. But I would suggest that the best way to show pride in your own school would be to participate in its forum and try to get to know other prospective students there.</p>
