We visited Columbia yesterday and the admissions rep said there are two reasons one should NOT give on their “Why COlumbia” essay -

1. because it’s in NYC - she said, then you should consider a university in Washiongton Square

2. because I want an Ivy League education - she said, the Ivy League is an athletic conference and the 8 schools have little else in common
