Personal Story

"I was super shocked when I got into Columbia! It was this climactic moment when I was counting down until the decisions came out with the site crashing and having to reload repeatedly. After a couple attempts at reloading the portal finally opened up and that magical moment happened. I read the first couple lines and started crying. I honestly had no idea what I was feeling, but it was this feeling of overwhelm and relief and freedom. It was like a burden had been lifted off me and I could breathe again."


Useful Advice

"Something I found incredibly useful was online videos about people who got into Harvard and Stanford and Columbia because it helped me see where I stacked up with other applicants and see what they did and what I could do to give myself a better shot."
