NSOP has a theme! Not as graphically snazzy, but least they’re not hyperventilating like last year.
Silly kids. Don’t they know that winners play basketball?
This happened a while ago, but good news doesn’t get old. Cute!
71 indictments for accused J-school rapist: why don’t we just assume he’s getting life and call it a day?
CU profs come out for Spitzer spawn (at least 5, by our count)
It appears that the SEAS 2011 valedictorian race is over.
Everyone should enter this. Cereal party!

@the owl Is really a metaphor. It’s within each Columbia graduate… except the Barnard ones.
@that's because the Barnard graduates are too filled with other forms of fowl.
@the owl it’s tucked in alma mater’s robe!
@ehh I hardly think #8 was self-aggrandizing, so your sarcasm is misplaced. The point is this kid is so underwhelming that I wonder if the bwogger knows him personally somehow. It’s not like this is national news.
@the real question: has he found the owl in the alma mater???
@Rising Senior I still haven’t found it…
@hint Look at dawn or dusk…it’s easier to find when the sun’s shadows are just so. Using a flashlight to look in the dark works, too. But don’t graduate without seeing it, it’s pretty awesome.
@ehh i definately wasn’t trying to self-aggrandize. there are plenty of people who get into college and in particular columbia early. i’m pretty sure i know at least one member of the class of ’07 who isn’t even 21, not by a long shot.
my predictions for this kid is that he’ll be a middle of the road student who majors in art history or something like that.
@so what? a heartily sarcastic round of applause for poster number 8. congrats.
@ehh whatever. it’s not that hard to get into college early. i did and i graduated shy of cum laude. just because he’s 17 and going to college doesn’t mean he’s brilliant
@cry me a river The logo is supposed to be clear and easily replicated. The theme is really the important part and I think it’s great.
@psh what makes pollard such a good valedictorian? it seems like he’ll meld right into to the other high school NASA and nuclear researcher crowd at SEAS.
@lol The paper called SEAS “Fu”.
And the point of the post/joke is that he’s bolting from high school early. heh. good man. I like his style.
and the NSOP page? BO-RING. Seriously, can’t NSOP hire anyone with real html skills? Or are the folks at SDA who do the hiring keep low standards so they can’t be accused of hypocrisy, being as unqualified as they are themselves…
That being said, it’s not a knock on NSOP. They do a tremendous amount of hard work to pull the event off, and it’s not easy. If you really think you can do a better job, shut up and apply for the position and show everyone how its done.
The real problem at Columbia is the culture of arm chair criticism. Everyone’s got a complaint and thinks they know how to do it better, but few of the critics are willing to actually sacrifice their time and other personal interests to actually make the changes.
@ahhh Bwog please fix the side bar problem. On ie it’s in the middle of the page.
@Oh no, NSOP! The logo looks terrible! It’s so … BLAND. I’d even go as far as saying I liked last year’s better, and that’s saying A LOT.
Also, is it just me or does like all of the class of 2011 play jazz? WTF was that part of the admission criteria or something?
@annoyed Who wrote this piece?
@agreed. none of these items are interesting, except the physics kid.
