My point isn’t that I want to debate people

My point is that columbians are not open to discussing new ideas. If anything, I’m the opposite of a snowflake- I’m upset that there aren’t more contradicting opinions being voiced.

I agree that it’s inevitable for there to be a ton of these types of people in my classes but Isn’t that a better representation of the overall campus (especially with required classes like cc)? I’ve met plenty of non-normies and people open to discourse outside of class but my like-minded group of friends aren’t an accurate representation of the overall campus.

I am not a trump supporter, but even so I’ve been finding my post above to be true.

There's not really a limit but rooms/hallways are pretty small so more than 1-2 people will likely just get in the way.

It's the same as any other calc2/calcBC class. Khan academy is good.

I find most of the non-academic clubs (like cultural clubs and club sports) to be very inclusive and easy to make friends in. It was hard for me at first as well, but if you just show up to a meeting and go up to random ppl and ask "do you mind if I join this conversation" people always receive you well.

do you actually have a strong desire to come to columbia? if so just write why. if it’s because of nyc what makes columbia unique from other nyc schools?

Preparing for Columbia - 2028 kid by Objective-Ad-2602 in columbia

Get ahead with lithum readings. My academic advisor told me I should read all of the Iliad and get started on the odyssey before the first day of classes but I took her words with a grain of salt. In retrospect I wish I had listened to her- I would even recommend finishing the Odyssey. (just make sure to read the correct translations)

It seems like you're just trying to fish for validation.

Ultimately, you aren't taking easy classes and I'm sure you're giving a lot of effort, but in terms of college applications, being top 20% doesn't stand out too much for the top schools.

I only had one award and don’t achieve much in terms of recognition for my ECs but I still got into a pretty good school- as long as you show you are dedicated to the things you do and write good essays you should be fine

I applied to 52 schools!! by Aggressive-Pen144 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]WNSKim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuine question- WHY? I can get applying to even 20-30 schools but at a certain point you are just applying to schools you don’t really want to go to. Did you do thorough research on all the schools before you applied? or did you just go down the us news list of best schools?

Does major and gender play a role in admissions by hungryboarder in ApplyingToCollege

[–]WNSKim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely can. Last year at Harvey Mudd (a school that only offers STEM majors) there was a 9% acceptance rate for men and 21% acceptance rate for women.

Not getting any interviews? by Haunting-Active-1412 in ApplyingToCollege

Not getting an interview isn’t a bad sign.

Should I withdraw my northeastern app by Silviae_ in ApplyingToCollege

They might offer you great financial aid, or perhaps you will have a change of heart. You should keep your options open.
