<p>I think some people in this forum need to know that every single application has something unique because it comes from a unique person, therefore even if acceptance has an erratic character, that does not necessarily imply its remoteness. I cant understand how can some people haphazardly declare somebody`s rejection? Since there is no official member of any college and especially of Columbia right here, I think every opinion is rumored. A college decision is not made up routinely, that does change every time! So please even if your opinion about its admission to CU is an absolute niet, there is an intellectual dogma that requires at least a small reserve from you in your responses.
Stanford09, I do not know whether you will be accepted or not but, my opinion is not to regret anything and that Columbia admission committee is probably made up of wise seniors who have an objective vision of each part of the application and its meaning. I myself applied to Columbia and believe me, my application is a way below yours if we only refer to your SAT or whatever else.
I wish you the best of luck and do remember that If there is a will, there is a way!</p>
