not columbia, but my friend is very proudly out and his roommate is like the straightest frat esque bro. the dorm decoration is awesome
Really depends on if you find a roommate u fw
Luckily for you you have entirety of first sem and half of second
not for freshman year loll
I’m not rly close to the other ppl from my school going to columbia so id prob end up w a random roommate or someone i dont rly know 😭
@wary forge do you know if there's a gc for '30 columbia?
Wait r u alrd at Columbia
I met my roommate first ye
He lived a few doors down
Lowk our entire floor r still friends
no co2030
i think @untold ore made a server but other than that idk lol
thank youuu
no one in my school got accepted to columbia so i have no one to talk to
i can add u
i remember ed had a big really active gc last year on insta
once u get accepted to follow the official co30 insta u can just spam follow everyone
yeah ppl have been following me so ive been following back loll
lowkey might be the best thing to do there was some gc drama last year lmaoooo
do u have insta (if you’re comfy sharing)
^^
yaaayyy thank youu
i'll pm u!!
???
Lore please lmao
Yo if anyone has any qs j dm me
do u also have insta lol
yesss
LMAOO
wait @simple ruin for the dorms w single use shared bathrooms on each floor is it like only one bathroom or are there multiple
Waiting...
Multiple ofc
John jay has like 8-9
if you briefly said in your why major essay that you wanted to do research related to the narrative you already have, is it a red flag to not submit a research supplement
I mean it helps your app na?
alright, im just asking because the research in question is not very polished
Should be fine
can anybody at columbia rn give feedback on my essays
Wild feeling when someone insults you but they’re wearing a hoodie and sweatpants
You could be dressed like this, and you choose not to, and you’re calling me weird?
yes ill dm!
your room is so pretty lol
Omg thank you so much!
It’s going to be one of the things I miss most when I leave
I’m gonna have to get some string lights for my dorm lol
THIS DRESS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE I HAVE
hold ON
Well, it’s a skirt and a shirt
But I am happy if you have something like it
Bc it looks good lol
is there a difference between information sciences and computer science majors
i cant seem to find a lot of info about it
I wear hoodie and sweats every day and I get so much shit for it
Smh
Cuz apparently it's bum
Everyone dresses kinda preppy
I j roll outta bed and go to class
Sorry 😭
Ok good to know lol
HI TWIN WE CAN TRADE
im not undergrad tho
lowkey my type school, better for meeting my future bf 🤩🤩
Fr
Where I live everyone looks like they just woke up
Genuinely can’t wait to get somewhere where that isn’t so common
yeah
Hah gl
Most people hookup
not too upset about that either
there is not hookup culture OR a dating scene at my school so whatever works
💀💀
It's kinda funny u mention this. Wait isn't this HS lol
I’m submitting my Columbia application now, and I’m also sending a research abstract I conducted in a class at school - do I select “yes”, or “no”, for the question “Was this research conducted as part of a research program?”
what kinda HS has hookup culture tho
i don't think so. By program, i think they mean like one of the university research programs.
like the mit one or something
Alright, good to know, appreciate the response
i don’t think they want those abstracts unfortunately
they said that it should be with collehe faculty
WHAT
oh shit
I submitted one that I worked with at school
it connects well with my essays tho
Is it fine
Do I have to email them
yeah i just watched a recording of one of those application sessions
Bruh they should be more explicit with their abstract section (no pun intended 🗿)
Wait wdym
Tell us about an aspect of your life so far or your lived experience that is important to you, and describe how it has shaped the way you would learn from and contribute to Columbia's multidimensional and collaborative environment. (150 words or fewer)
help guys what do i even write about
have you not written one of these? what’s unique about you?
i wrote about being a runner and being gay
and persistence and how facing prejudice motivates me to engage in discussion
i'm a bum 💔
i wrote another one about my long commute
i could write one about being a leftie
i could write one about unloading the dishwasher
it’s less about the aspect, than what you take away from it
unloading the dishwasher is hard
you need to learn how to work around someone else’s schedule
if you fall behind so do they
you need to learn where all the plates go, and how to stack them
maybe it’s not as strong but it’s an example of how you don’t need to be a FGLI LGBTQ+ international POC whos also a religious minority in order to write this essay
i'm first gen and lgbtq+ 💔
it doesnt have to be identity related
exactly
they changed it from diverse->multidimentional
this year
and although small it reflects something
do you really like to make art?
or smth like that
you can talk about what you’ve learned from that
also good to just pick some clubs you can join on campus
just focus on how it has shaped you in a way that would allow you to learn and contribute
in a collaborative/diverse environment
yes this
the shape part is more important than the aspect
🔥
yes it defintiely contributes to intellectual development
LMAO
can i get feedback on my adversity essay from someone here 😛 i hate it lowk
i think i chose a bad topic and need thoughts
if im a solo hijabi poly amputee?
ur cooked HAHA
wait abba i can review if you’re okay with a HSer
same with anya
OKKK ill dm u 😁
okok
Why tf are the columbia supplementals so wack??
they're not really
they are pretty similar to harvard
theyre too short
yeah they're pretty short
for 6, do u just talk about why u like the major? or why u like columbias program for it
a combo of both
but then 5.. 💀
why you like the major, and why columbia is the best place to study it
you can surely find two reasons why you want to attend
an interesting thing with columbia is
like for the why columbia
think about how NYC and the Core conflict
Maybe this is a well worn trope though
no
like plato talks about the ideal city
everyone has their place and contributes together
NYC is like... the opposite
how do these theoretical concepts of philosophy from centuries old philosophers hold up against the messy realities of the most diverse city in hte USA/world in every way?
how do those tensions contribute to a great understanding of the human expereince
i wish the supps were just a bit longer
why is ts lowk fire
this better not be your supplement
if we're talking about ancient philosophers i'll talk about diogenes
you could also go for
more recent people
like its going to contradict nonethe less
or at least be similar in slightly different ways
No I will say NYC is a wonderful city like athens, cuz everyones viewpoint is represented democraticallty in the core curiculum like athens greece, and also cuz u can beat ur meat in the streets like diogenes did in greece
😂
i mean doesnt hurt to put it in
iguess
they said if it was in your ap reserach or part of high schoo
it shouldnt really cont
If i have a common app fee waiver does it matter if i select yes or no for the columbia one?
I want to select no bc I have kind of a special case ^
do you pay either way
because just do the one where you dont pay
if you dont pay either than it ddodnt matter
yeah it turns out I actually meet the requirements so I’ll select yes, and I don’t pay either way so ig it wouldn’t have mattered
happy new year columbers
last year at this time i had not started my columbia supps 🔥 ❤️
was it due on jan 1
this is me except all my drafts are basically ass
verified by @autumn minnow
LOL
how does it feel to be wrong
not red flag
aura fit
LMAOOO
sure
sure
yo what
a class isn’t a program
pick a story from your life
aura
it can be whatever you want it to be
because of the lawsuit no?
PEAK DING DONG
why do you hate it
they are pretty normal
both
yes
nervous it doesn’t say much about myself and moreso about the person that the challenge focuses around
you are quite poetic
another lie 💔
Water is wet
whatever floats your boat
💔 are u available to look over a couple of my columbia supps rq
it’s like this here too
I think you should extend this, you can jerk off in introduction to philosophy to recreate diogenes experiment
Make sure to mention it
And make sure you say you'll post on side chat after
sure dm
i'm gonna unfollow columbia's instagrama ccounts
ts so triggering
i don’t follow it lmao
yay❤️ ok
lmao
i think i dmed u
wait i’m dumb
but i changed my why columbia one
Everyone so busy and idk u don't have a lot of good people tbh soo
So many cheaters
yeah cornell also
i mean they changed something small but similar in their prompt as well
yeah but platonic forms are fake
no i mean like platnoic forms are flawed once we realize that individual subjects are locked within our own subjectivities
so that means we can't conceive of an ideal cat together because our conceptions of the ideal cat will fundmentally be different
so our conceptions of the ideal cat will be different, meaning that the conception of a normative ideal cat is impossible
yeah at 11:59pm
im sure theyre fine
i just read through and edited a bunch of peoples essays and theres not many that are like actually ass
plus essays r only a piece of the puzzle
do not fret
!?#!?$>
it basically doesnt make a difference how you respond to the prompt
its essentially the same question LMAO
yea its for them
columbia pmo
why'd they reject me
@untold ore can you take a look at my essays 🥺
how soon do u need it i’m about to sleep
i’ll be up in like 5 hours
apps due 11:59pm no stress 🔥
roaree knew that he was too ugly for you
💔
uh in like two hours 😭 😭
timezones
if you're bout to sleep it's chill
submit it!
i believe in your application (and you)
is it rlly cliche to have my adversity essay be about like conflicts and stuff during a competition
cs is it like an expected adversity
like obv ur gonna have conflicts
just realised this.. yall know this image in the portal.. its actually named SEAS%20more%20breathing_1.png (columbia got too tired naming better)
😭
no? i mean if it is insightful then i dont see why not
the problem is with people like my friends friend writing about conflict being the captain of football team and then they slept one night and decided to change
me like a week ago lol..
im rd applicant but if you want i can, but im no columbia admit
yes its considered
if you choose to submit yes.. test opt then no
Should the research mentor LOR be sent by mail?
that’s what the website says so should I not add it to commonapp
omg i just submitted columbia 😭 🙏
anyone wanna absolutely glaze the shit out of me so i stop dooming
columbia is great for performative males
nice one
do you want to read my supp
like sure
i am yes
if you have research submit it if you don't don't
You’ll get in trust
they don't use DI
yes
yes
Bro i need to finish this list
hi roines
like i cant remember wtf i've read thats like contributed to my developmetn
hi feather
idk what else to add to my list i'm at like 90
i added a lot of news
ok im crashing out
i put unserious things
i need to lock in
i dont but my friend put an arts supplement to harvard for piano and she got in
no
so you should
my list is hella mid
oh arts supplement due the 15th?
i think its due late yeah
maybe i should cough up a clarinet supplement
international competitions 😛
the list was the funnest supp i've done so far
its ok i also am not an internationally competitive pianist
lucky
i need to get a source of income icl
lowk look into ur community theater
wait like
my community does not have ts
💀
LOL
if you have a band director they're probably in link with them u can get good money for pit orchestra
wtfff
how large is ur town
anya lives in the middle of nowhere
i'm going to cry why is the word limit 150 words
ib essays aren't the same thing as a research supp
i feel like it should've been 200 words
i know that ib essays are hard (it's two years right) but i think research in these contexts refer to ones outside the curriculum
wtf
writing my adversity essay about nearly strangling myself with my bari sax strap
#resilience
we have like 40k but we dont have a community theater or anything
😭
thats ike next level
wtf 😭
its ok ill lock in on money after college apps
get a credit card and everything
and hopefully not go broke
i need a credit card so bad bro all my money i keep on me in cash
i'm gonna get robbed
what
Submitted columbia YAYY
conflict is adversity
yes
because they are test optional i think
congrats
this is just mining you for what marketing strategies they should continue im pretty sure
The guys who say that doing everything last minute makes you more authentic is right bc lowk im really happy with my supps
it is totally optional a minority submit
not if you have nothing else to say
i'm predicting
you are predicting wrong
do it
real
i think you only do this for mit. edit: apparently i am wrong
no cloumbia takes them now
whoops
you must be reading way better essays
💀💀
tongue emoji
don’t worry i think for an essay to be truly bad and unsalvageable it is not easy
i’ve only seen a few so far
😳
hopefully mine isn’t like that!
the sad thing is that ive read some very good essays from someone who has like a 1050
i mean columbia is test optioional
test optional school
oop beat me to it
even then, a 1050 isn't the end of the world
sigh
i'm so scared
bro yale r has me messed up
youtiao does it matter if I don’t submit the optional arts supplemental after I indicated I would
💀
no, you can email if you're worried
new york > new haven
😭 🙏
columbia blue > yale blue
deadass tho handsome dan is chopped and roaree is a baddie
not very close lmao
up to you
tbf I think how well you perform in testing environments and writing personal essays have very little to do w one another
fact
no its just that i think theyre like good enuogh to get this person in im just worried about their chances
ohh
time to start my supps
the best time to start is 20 years later, the second best time is today
handsome dan might be more handsome than big roaree but small roaree is cutest though
hopefully they get in
:D
SMALL ROAREE is the main reason i want to go
not actually but imagine being able to own a small roaree and be like yeah thats my mascot
like can you imagine
Guyysyss idk what to write for this one besides like 3 things
3 things is enough
tell me about about yourself
not just columbia
why do YOU fit at columbia
i wanna talk about the knicks but idk if thats the right moment
i loooove the knicks
the wha
clearly a furry did not design this
someone wrote an open letter to admissions because of this
he also appears at a multitude of other campus events
3 things is 50 words each
whats the best part of columbia cmapus
depends
holy chop
you can
i mean try to integrate it what else columbia has to offer
and consider what columbia is lookiing for w that rompt
LMAO hs seniors when they gush abt wanting to work w some faculty member they found on the website 5 min ago
for mine I talked about the core and walking down broadway
dw it was 2 minutes ago
help 
this
doujang can you look over my supps
tell me how it is i’ve never been
can u also loooki. over mind
time to avoid every campus event ever 🥀
mine
yes
nyc museums free and like discounted/free broadway tickets
there some other stuff but i forgot
and @near ruin i’m abt to head out for a couple hours but if you can wait like 2 hours i can
yay
do you guys think talking about hjow ive lived in a mountain town makes me want to see what a real city is like for like 1 sentence
passport to museums
maybe but it has to be specific to columbia/nyc
like you can go to other big cities
word
tbh nothing you have mentioned so far is columbia specific so I would make sure to tap into something you can only get here
you can get discounted museum tix and see the knicks at any nyc school
what is thaf
oh model un?
try to dig deeper
that and circa
its prolly worse to just straight lie, its what i want to actually do the most at columbia
im not saying to lie
ok finished it
wow
lots of schools have mun 😭
youtio did you like my why columbia
lowk it's so honest
like i didn't really think abt columbia until i did my why columb and now i really wanna go
Four more supplementals 😧
ion know i dont really wanna go here besides like a few select things
Community college 🥀
contemporary civilizations but close ennough lowk
i thought it was core curriculum 😭
yeah that class is part of core curriculum
yeah i know
core curriculum is like
lit hum
contemporary civ
art hum
music hum(?)
frontiers of science
and pe
or smth
😭 🙏
columbia brainrot
gruh
idk what to write for these vro ive lowk not thought about why i want to go to columbia
do you wanna see my columbia
FML
it's mid af tho
fire
wow you know core better than me
i believe that if you are registered with their disability services or are in a group with someone rehgistered with disability services you have a higher chance
because you get put into a pre lottery for housing
what is the worst thing about columbia
there's lots 😭
the admin is terrible
the gyms are old
and school spirit is like nonexistent
nice
if i had to guess, football
what's the best thing
spiderman went there
kinda everything is the best thing
except the things that suck rly bad like admin obvi
maybe the diversity, not just race and stuff like that but intellectual and social diversity too
hmm wdym by the intellectual/social
are there a lot of opporutniteis for debates and itnellectual discussion
bro it's the core curriculum 💔
i love core
ARE YOU GOING THUIS YEAR
i wish i could
yeah diversity of thought, experience, interests, all kinds of stuff
I just feel like I learn a lot just by talking to new ppl here
oh for some reason i read that as part of what sucked
that makes a lot more sense yes
why is admin bad
have you not seen how much columbia's been in the headlines 😭
Every college’s admin is bad
Cornell admin mango troll 🗿
💀
cornball admins 😭
Does anyone know what Columbia culture is like?
scroll up a little
and uchi lol
we need better school spirit
idk I feel like school spirit is fine, we’re just not big on football
thats the one i can do vro
im stuck on adversity
like thats my entire common app
i ran outta things to talk about
i wrote about a convo with my friend
I think I mentioned something about disagreement in my nyu supplemental lmao
I wonder if I can use part of that
if u want i can dm u what i wrote
💀💀
i wrote about a convo with my friend also
Yes please 😭
yeah
bro did u not start columbia supps
holy fried
I did two supplements
clocks ticking
😭😭
startup stuff
LOL ME TOO
wait can i dm u
sure
thx goat i js dmd u
mine was with a taxi driver 
guys should a submit a 30, 32 superscore act? or go test optional
Then don’t apply???
I live here 💀
my point is like nyc should not be the selling point of Columbia imo
A lot of people save up their entire lives to take a vacation to nyc
Don’t take what you have for granted
you’re kind of misinterpreting what I’m saying
I feel nyc should not be a selling point of Columbia when there are so many other things at the uni
Why Columbia when you can go for NYU or CUNY or whatever
Sure its not the selling point but wouldn’t you agree being in NYC would bring a lot of different opportunities over a school like Dartmouth?
No shade to dartmouth im applying there too
Kinda? I guess jobs are like the only major opportunity
but then again everything is remote work now lol
hi pira
Wspppp
Did you apply to hunter 😭
Nah I just did like a couple ivies and stuff
What happened to safeties 😭
I dint really want to stay in Ny
Safeties are a lie made by college board to make more money
yah
I mean CUNY is the easiest to get into lol
that is true lol
My perm residency is in NJ but I lwk spend most of my time in NYC 💀
have an apartment and shi
i thought you go to school in india
😭

I LOVE PERSIMMONS
did you know @autumn minnow disagrees
she thinks they are a D tier fruit
tsk
i eat 3 persimmons daily
A tier fruit
wait what do persimmons taste like
yummy
applying 2 college
its hard to describe tbh
it looks like it tastes like a tomato
the fuyu kind is like a sweeter juicier apple (???) but its not apple flavored
i already did a draft of my LOCI but its due before the 16th so im prioritizing my RD apps
the hachiya kind is relallyyy soft and realllyyyy sweet
thankfully no
princeton is actually cooked there's a 50 word supplemental question "What song represents the soundtrack of your life at this moment?" GIRL WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY
I DONT KNOW
columbia would never
persimmons are sooo sweet
yeah nicki minaj represents my life right now
😭
sorry
princeton fight song 💔
i want to put "Manic Monday" by the Bangles
I jsut don't know how to elaborate
I have to give an explanation
put 10,000 men of harvard
I listened to that song before every SAT that I took
not the harvard one
the one i put
oh
I put a song from a video game
lover you should have come over by jeff buckley
i wrote about how a song and the artist's tone represents sandwiched college admissions between thanksgiving and christmas 🗿 its goofy but it works
sry i wasnt trying to attack u for putting nicki i was joking that she represents my life rn since she went off the deep end
Yeah, he love this fat ass, hahahahahahahaha!
Yeah, this one is for my bitches with a fat ass in the fucking club
SPEAK YO TRUTH
LMFAO my point is that the short answers dont really matter/make a difference imo
DID ANyone apply to darty here ☹️
dew it
And for your loving, imma die hard like bruce willis
Shorty im only gonna tell u this one im the illest
flip those around actually i think i put them in the wrong order
if i were to reapply to princeton id probably put an mgmt song
I hate that good artists have to be bad people
Like I wouldn't gaf if like AJR were terrible people
I already sent in Harvard and Princeton lol. I’m working on Cornell. Yapping about how I’m passionate for growing plants or sm 💀
If I get rejected from their agricultural school I might actually just give up on college
😭
My friend got in with a Kanye song 💀💀💀💀
Like a month ago lol
I feel like putting anything recent would be a huge red flag
Let me ask 💀
Mf still got in for CS/math 😭
it better not be his most recent song 😭
That shit was fucking crazy. Idk how he was able to release that.
Would be so funny if he put the poopity scoop shit 💀
that's acc perfect for my life rn
i wouldve put scott street by phoebe bridgers
My life is pretty poop but Princeton will help me scoop it back up
elite ball knowledge
its been ON REPEAT
yeah just goes to show that the short answers dont mean a ton
and also generally i dont think the aos take the moral character of the artist of the song you choose as a reflection of your morals especially if its a really popular artist
yea this lowk isnt that bad bro
esp if ur ao is on teh younger side
kanye made graduation
what tweets??
there kinda of bland
never had a persimmon before
never seen one in a grocery store either
the only persimmon ive seen is a keychain that says 好柿发生
lol

speedrunning barnard supplement im gonna collapse 
Just tell them music is cool and you’re cool and you like music 👍
