Weaknesses: supplementary essays, ethnicity…no…really
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Not very sure…i was really surprised when i read the email because i was hoping for a deferral. i think that might have been because my supplements were weak and also because i sent off my application quite late…
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Didn’t apply to other ED. waiting for EA’s, and hoping that ill get in somewhere for regular admissions…</p>
<p>General Comments: Columbia was my dream school since middle school. it just seemed so right and perfect for me, and everything was going so well…i really dont know what to do, its hard to say goodbye to your dreams…so long New York</p>
