Hey nmprisons, I'm doing pretty well so far, but getting a little antsy due to not hearing from H or Y. Although I would probably choose H or Y if admitted, I'm pretty psyched about Columbia! I started CIVICS at Tufts-- it's an organization that originated at Harvard. We send tufts undergrads into local middle schools to teach about the branches of govt, the constitution, etc. (since the MCAS, kids in local schools dont really have a social studies curriculum, let alone info about US govt). It's been a great program, great feedback from surrounded communities. Good luck with your applications!!

How come Columbia and Chicago came before NYU?

Hey jrg83, Congrats on reaching a decision! What made you choose Chicago over Columbia? It sounded like you were leaning towards Columbia. Anyway, I'll look forward to meeting you at Chicago!

Jessica- Thanks for the email...I decided on CLS...I think the prestige and location were the deciding factors...coming from Emory in ATL, GA...I'm getting a much needed upgrade in both...

Jessica, I also applied at Regents. It seems like there are a lot of good options, housing-wise, but the mini-community there clinched it, for me. I'm entering after a few years of work, so not being isolated is somewhat important.
