Welcome Class of 2015! (Here's some advice)

Congratulations Class of 2015, you're one of 6.9 percent of 34,929 applicants to get in! I can’t wait to meet you already. You have no idea what’s in store for you here. Take everything you thought you knew about Columbia, college, and yourself—then throw it out the window. Done? Good. You are now ready to pay the deposit that will seal your destiny… forever!

I want to offer you some advice. First of all, come! I know some of you reading this are probably stuck between our school and a bunch of some other prestigious pretentious schools. Now Columbia is not a perfect school (those smiling people playing Frisbee on the lawns in the Blue Album are probably actors), but overall, Columbians are all a truly passionate, genuine, inspiring, amazing, tough, and fun group of people. Our school will push you, challenge you, excite you, and take you places you would never have predicted. You won’t regret meeting us, and we can’t wait to meet you.
