I know 4 kids from my school that applied to Columbia via QB. They all have higher SATs and GPAs than me...they got rejected.

Wow. I'm guessing that pretty much killed your hope of being accepted.

I never had much hope. Only a miracle from Allah was my hope.

The people that got rejected has crazy high grades...perhaps in top 5%-10%

Well, that doesn't mean you can't..!

wow thats ridiculous ... did u apply to cornell or NYU? those are some very good schools too dude ... don't get stuck up on colombia

Yes, Im might have to apply to the other Ivys, NYU if not accepted.

just curious, did you put your race as white on the app lol?

I had to. I wish I could have put African American, but that's reserved for Sub-Saharans.

what about "other"

man whenever i put asian i think that they think im a vietnamese person or something

seriously im gonna put "south" in front of asian 1 of these days

Doesn't really matter...they have a demographics section, and I said I was born in Cairo, Egypt. So they'll know either way.

o nvm then lol ... well ima do that on standardized tests ... even tho they already know probly

Do it or they might think that you are a Japanese.

But the problem with that is that they could flag you for writing where you aren't supposed to

No, that's too extreme. They might think you are an idiot for not knowing your ethnicity by now, but that's it.
