Hi! My name is Joe and I'm currently a senior attending South San Francisco High School.
My dream institution of higher learning is Columbia University. Its reputation of academic excellence is, in my most humble opinion, most well-deserved and when combined with its extremely diverse atmosphere, low faculty to student ratio, generous need-based financial aid, and its location in the bustling metropolis that is New York City, which presents an innumerable number of ways through which one can advance one's career while still at school, simply makes Columbia irresistable to me.
However, I am well aware that my chances of being admitted is about as high as that of finding a virgin on Jersey Shore, I am looking into alternative schools including but not limited to: Vanderbilt, Duke, Emory, Dickinson, Tulane, Amherst, Bowdoin, Williams, Wesleyan, Tufts, Pomona, the University of Chicago etc. That being said, go Lions!
