<p>yupp, i’m from afghanistan, though my dad’s ancestors were from saudi arabia. and we might be! i mean, we’re all brown people. </p>
<p>i love languages, i might not want to do 4, but at least 2.</p>
<p>sarah1 thats way too few! but i guess i can audit classes or something. yeah theres probs a good amount of people in pakistan who speak farsi, urdu has a ton of words in common w/it. </p>
<p>woot brown people! i bet you already guessed this but my last name is actually spelled khan, i just spelled it the jewish way to avoid identity theft HA. </p>
<p>alkfjsdlkfj less than 24 hours until we find out when we find out. ha.</p>
<p>this is possibly an exceedingly silly question, but would I be considered a first generation, or at least have some sort of advantage, if my mother went to college in a third world country and my dad went to a specialized school (arts)?</p>
<p>hahaha, and as you may have guessed my name is Mariam. </p>
<p>half the panic is being in a state of unkowingness.</p>
<p>sakahn, are you subjected to watching the painfully bad musical-esque hindi movies?</p>
<p>yescolumbia, I’m just white, haha. Okie, if that counts. Sometimes I feel like it’s a whole other ethnicity. :P</p>
<p>YES! but i must say, the intense parts can be quite entertaining.
OMG they should make a bollywood movie about college admissions…or something.</p>
<p>[Columbia</a>, I got your crazy](<a href=“http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2009/04/30/columbia-i-got-your-crazy]Columbia”>Columbia, I got your crazy)
oh and that’s an article by jalinovi’s interviewer. it kind of scared me about the workload…</p>
<p>sakahn i totally agree!! </p>
<p>and did anyone else do an overnight at columbia? i did one in mid-oct. what was everyone’s experience like?</p>
<p>i have an interesting story- so my roommate and her friend decided to do shots and got wasted, but they were in another room so they didn’t disturb me considering i had to wake up at 5am! but then at 3:30 am my roommate comes in and is vomiting everywhere- including on my sleeping bag! then she passes out and i have to literally take care of her the whole night. </p>
<p>haha but i still love columbia 
i don’t plan on partying that much (it was during midterms!) but i would love to explore the city all the time!!</p>
<p>not going to lie, i still get really emotional during some parts. they’re far too dramatic for their own good. </p>
<p>lmao, if they haven’t already i’m sure they’re working on their own version of “Accepted.”</p>
<p>would I be able to tour the campus if I went during winter break?</p>
<p>@ sarah1</p>
<p>i had an overnight stay around late september-ish. i stayed at john jay…no one was getting wasted, but it was the day of thing the called a “study break.” i got to run around morningside heights with a couple of them getting the goods for the break. overall, it was a great experience, and only furthered my passion to have to be there.</p>
<p>sounds way better than my overnight!</p>
<p>Does anyone if Columbia still sends “likely” letters?
Did they even do this procedure for EDers?</p>
<p>I would love to learn something other than Spanish!</p>
<p>how abt something other than Hebrew! i started Hebrew in kindergarten… i think its time for a change</p>
<p>i love spanish, corriendo de tiempo (yeah that was dumb)!
i heard they dont send likely letters and i havent heard of anyone getting one…</p>
<p>is the campus open for tour during winter break?</p>

you can check there, it depends on what day i think. you could always do the podcast.
the campus is really pretty in the snow in my opinion (but maybe thats just because theres hardly any snow in nc :(</p>
<p>awww… they’re closed during my school’s break! darn it.</p>
