OFFICIAL Early Decision Applicants Thread (Columbia Class of 2014)

<p>carla bess at lamar? </p>

<p>i’m shara mohtadi, edina high school. there are two but the correct one is with the picture.</p>

<p>Haha it’s ok, it’s all over the internet anyway.
They’ve blocked A LOT of sites: YouTube, Facebook, Bebo, Twitter…etc</p>

<p>same thing in Iran- katy, how was beijing during the olympics?</p>

<p>well… Fb, youtube, tweet is blocked at my school, so it makes no difference from being in china…</p>

<p>same in my school- but at least we get it at home and everywhere else.</p>

<p>since i board at school, it makes the blocks even worse… i am using a secured connection to connect to fb to get over the blocks…really slow…</p>

<p>ohh, gotcha. that really sucks. </p>

<p>okay, i’m not coming back on until results are up. i swear…</p>

<p>It was ok during the Olympics…facebook wasn’t blocked then.
I’m using Vtunnel to see my updates, but I can’t upload anything, so my profile language is stuck on English(Pirate)…haha:)</p>

<p>I’m stuck here until results come out!!! And then I’ll be really sad to say goodbye…:(</p>

<p>im saying that i am not trying to offend her personally, i have nothing wrong with the chinese but i am absolutely opposed to that type of restriction thats enforced by the government
im not trying to start a fight on here i apologize if that is the conception</p>

<p>imagine a life without youtube, facebook, myspace, tweeter, wikipedia, Flickr, blogger, some news network…etc… it is absolutely miserable for anyone living in china,…</p>

<p>@Katy</p>

<p>my messages tab is gone as well, but I have gotten the confirmation emails…</p>

<p>I realize this topic isn’t really being discussed anymore, but I wanted to contribute. (I missed it because I’ve been trying to keep myself away from the thread, but I just couldn’t take it anymore, lol.) I visited NYC the summer after 5th grade and fell in love. I then somehow discovered that there was an Ivy League university in my self-determined “home town.” I’ve been obsessed ever since. I actually wrote in my 6th grade memory book that my greatest ambition was to attend Columbia, haha. Just wanted to share. :]</p>

<p>40hours left!!</p>

Don’t worry about it it’s fine!! I know how you feel…same as me actually…you should see what some Chinese people say about the blocking, shocking really…</p>

<p>We’ve still got Wikipedia! I’ll get REALLY angry if wiki was blocked. I would probably write to the mayor or something…</p>

<p>@altoidsmints: What confirmation email…I still don’t know what the confirmation email everyone’s talking about is…</p>

<p>Good luck to you all from the Brown ED thread!</p>

<p>it’s so strange…i remember reading (and rereading) the threads of past EDers and seeing how anxious they were, and remembering, “that’s going to be me someday.” and wow, here we are…</p>

<p>^That’s very true. I’m currently wallowing in emotion - neither positive nor negative. Just emotion, waiting to erupt into something in about 34 hours.</p>

<p>Wooooooo! Good Luck from the Brown ED thread!</p>

<p>Plan for the next 32 hours:
FCA meeting
Half-Day at School
Senior Seminar
Sushi with friend
TONS of homework to bring my GPA from a 2.6 to a 4.0 XD
Watch some GLEE!
More Homework
Sleep
NHS Officer Meeting
School
Find something to do after school for an hour.
RESULT TIME!</p>

<p>If I find out at school, I can spend the car ride home either bawling my eyes out or jumping with joy!</p>

<p>yay for living in new england! snow day :slight_smile: this gives me ample time to do all of my homework due friday, as whatever decision i get tomorrow will leave me paralyzed from doing any homework at all :/</p>
