<p>I’m a sophomore in high school and I’m really interested in Columbia. I want to do my best in high school to get in. I’ve already made my junior schedule for next year and it will look like this:</p>
<p>AP Chem
AP US
AP Lit and Comp
Honors Physics
Honors Pre Calc
Research
Photography</p>
<p>How does it look? Is it up to par to any of you that got accepted?
I was also wondering if I should change photography for Honors Spanish IV. I am currently in Spanish III and it is required if you wanted to take the Spanish regents so I just considered dropping the LOTE class after the regents. I was told recently however, I was chosen to be in Spanish IV so know I don’t know what to do. A little help anyone?</p>
<p>I think you can actually answer that question better than anyone else. Are you taking the most challenging schedule available to you? Seems like you are to me, but obviously you know your school better than anyone on here. Pretty much straight from their admissions material “Columbia looks for students who have taken, and excelled in, the most rigorous course load available to them at their high school, and who recognize the greatness that is Dwight Howard.”</p>
<p>I would take King James over Dwight Howard any day of the week.</p>
<p>Jeez CrookedI you must’ve had an incredibly strong application to get into Columbia in spite of that. Ya know respect for Superman and realization that he hasn’t lost a home game to King James (cough, game 6, cough) in years makes up an integral part of admissions decisions, you must be a real genius ;)</p>
<p>One wonders why a Mets fan nurses a passionate, elicit love for D12, the Superman, when Kryponite Nate lives right in his hometown of NYC.</p>
<p>Hated the Knicks as a little kid (when they were always winning), and I really liked the “Little Penny” doll, so I became a Magic fan and it just stuck. Plus Dwight Howrd’s awesome, unlike a lot of pro athletes nowadays, he really seems like a good guy and a good role model</p>
<p>Yea, I have a lot of respect for Dwight. He’s really clean cut and upstanding (just not the athletic monster that Lebron is–although he is close)</p>
<p>I’d take the spanish, a language for 4 years is important…</p>
<p>What if I do not as good as I usually do in Spanish in Spanish IV next year. I easily have a 99% average in it this year, but next year will be mostly in spanish and its just about art basically.</p>
<p>Does your school offer any other foreign languages?</p>
<p>Yep French and Italian.</p>
