Thank you for the responses. @TheMoreYouKow I was not saying you were rude. I have less of a problem with what you posted–I don’t need to get told ‘what I want’. Columbia is my first ED choice simply because it offers the best financial aid package of all the schools that have contacted me. I don’t necessarily want to hear that I’m going to magically get into this ivy-league. To clear things up, I simply wanted to better understand my chances as a complete student, I guess(that barely even makes sense to me but I don’t know how else to word it). Second of all, I never said that your response wasn’t worthwhile. I like hearing that there is a chance that I don’t get in because I’ve applied to several other schools and Columbia isn’t my first choice but financially it would be the best of all the schools that have contacted me. I just wished you had added additional information that would have helped rather than simply state ‘yeah, you won’t get in.’ That’s it. Your post had significance and it was worthwhile I just wish it had provided me with more to think on.
@happy1 thank you for your response. I don’t have the arrogance to believe that I will get in–especially with my scores(so I’ve applied to several others that have a 100% financial need met guarantee and have received acceptance letters). I just wanted to check, see if I had a chance–though I knew it was slim–and see what similar–though not necessarily ivy league–colleges and universities everyone would recommend instead.
Thank you all though. And I am sorry if there was a misunderstanding.
