<p>Hi guys. First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone who has been accepted to their schools. </p>
<p>I have a question regarding how to use my ED application.</p>
<p>I really love Columbia all around and I would like to apply ED there. But I am applying to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford… etc. and if I get accepted at some of those other schools I might go there just for the name. I know. Don’t just go for the label. But those schools are good enough to be my first choice anyways.</p>
<p>If I get accepted to Columbia, that would mean I have to withdraw all other applications to every other university. If events lay out like that, not only do I not get to go to Harvard, for example, but also lose the opportunity to know whether I would be accepted or not. To my Asian family back in Asia, Harvard or Yale is the only namable university they would recognize by name, so I would like to know if I would be accepted to those institutes for them to be proud.</p>
<p>Please understand my ridiculous situation. Not that my situation is ridiculous, what’s ridiculous is how I’m handling it. I’m ashamed to even post this. </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK CANADIAN STUDENTS CLASS OF 2015!!</p>
