Chance of acceptance?

Apologies for not keeping up with my own thread, but I’ve been in NYC since Tuesday doing college visits. NYU was not that impressive, and now that I’ve seen Columbia, I want to go more than ever.

bad1017, that’s exactly what I was thinking, because the core at Columbia is really what interests me - more than anything, I just want an education, and the options that come with it. Journalism is a practical application for writing, which is something I love. By no means do I want to be stuck with it forever, I’ve just heard that admissions officers look for interest in a specific area or path, and indecision can’t be very impressive.

blondie625, yeah, there’s definitely no other school I’d rather be at, it’s just a matter of acceptance (and later, finance). Like I said, my school is pretty uncompetitive and awards are only given out at the end of senior year, which is unfortunate because I won’t be able to include any of that information in my application. I’ve won some essay contests, though, if that means anything.
