Thank you all so much for replying to this post. As to answer some other questions, I am considering Columbia and Pomona over the others primarily based on academics, location, peer quality (I judge from Facebook & groupme although that might not be representative enough), livability, and conversation with current students. Swarthmore, Duke, and UChicago are also great schools and I am truly grateful and honored to be admitted.

I just found out today that I have been named one of the John Jay Scholars in Columbia’s Class of 2020, which is an honor program that provides exclusive academic, social, financial, and career resources. It’s like 20-30 students out of 1100+ in CC every year are selected according to wikiCU. This is really tempting…
