Hello all!

I am a freshman this year at The University of Texas at Austin. In four years I will graduate with a BS in Communication (film) and a BA in English lit. In the last year I have become well acquainted with what makes a strong candidate for acceptance into college as an undergraduate. I want to start early working on my graduate school portfolio because I am determined to go to Columbia. (AMAZING interdisciplinary program that I am in love with).

Basically: What things can I do starting now to make myself into a perfect Columbia grad school candidate? So far I can think of…

1. Stellar grades

2. Hands on experience with internships

Not really sure if it’s the same “EC’s, honors clubs, well rounded” type of thing that was needed on college apps. Any info you can give me on what gets students into IVY grad schools would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks!
