Flocks of prospective students clutter campus in celebration of Presidents’ Day. It’s rumored that the Undergraduate Recruitment Committee expects “mega tours” this week. Makes you feel sentimental, don’t it?

@Anon I can’t even describe the beautiful feeling of schadenfreude that I experience whenever I see those unlucky enough to still be going through college admissions.
@yep I did too. “Never again standardized test scores, frantic searches for letters of rec, hours spent shoveling through department webpages from universities I’ve never even seen.” Them came graduate school. The dream is over. It never was at all.
@yepx2 pretty much what i was about to say, except it doesn’t stop there. i just finished (mostly) what i thought was the last time i would ever suffer through an admission cycle. but then i realized that after the applications for med school, i have the applications for internship/residency programs and applications for fellowships and the applications for jobs…
and endless cycle of applications. life is just a time to apply for the next parts of life.
@GS'12 I love the energy these kids and families bring to campus. This place is the fuckin’ shit and, just like seeing someone buy a book that you’ve already read and love, you can’t help but get a nostalgia boner when you see their eyes lighting up.
@Anonymous i knew GS was full of pedos.
@Lacking confidence? You must look damn bad in that picture to want it taken down….wondering which one you are – and thinking ED was a big mistake.
@Anonymous i overheard one of the prospies asking who alfred lerner was. i’ve been going to the building for 3 1/2 years and i have no fucking clue!
@senior i think he was a sportscaster. that was one of the questions during nsop. and i have no idea why i remember this.
@Yo. The dude invented Monday Night Football. He was a sports media guru, ABC television executive, and hog calling champion.
@Silly That was Roone Arledge. Alfred Lerner was just a guy with a shitload of money
@!! I really like everything about this thread of comments.
@THAT'S why it snowed this morning. Admissions, you’ve got all the power.
@Anonymous Uhh, as someone who came to tour Columbia today, I do not appreciate my picture being pasted on the internet without my permission. I would like it if this picture were taken down, otherwise, there may be legal action.
Thanks,
By the way, not all of these people are prospies. I was accepted ED and wanted to get another look at where I’ll be spending the next 4 years.
@errrr If you’re this unhappy and uptight BEFORE you come to Columbia, I would just stay away all together.
@Anonymous then stay away from crowds altogether
and when you come, don’t walk near alma mater
@Anonymous This is like performance art.
@Anonymous How lucky are we to be getting you next year…
@Blanket threats of legal actions... ….May work at getting you a replacement giant-size slushee after you’ve already gulped your first one down at the Wyoming Kwik-E-Mart but bitch, please: this is Columbia. There’s a law school 3 buildings away!
Know your audience, asshole.
@welcome to the panopticon.
@Anonymous I can’t believe someone is beating the record set by Iliad is rap girl to become to most made-fun-of freshman as quickly as possible. You’re not even on campus yet. Mad props dude/girl.
@Dude That girl was ridic. Does anyone know who she is?
@Anonymous No, nobody does, she’s like a mythical creature. I’m afraid that I’m actually friends with her but I just don’t know it, and every time I make fun of “the Iliad is gangsta rap” she plots to smother me in my sleep with a copy of the Odyssey as told by Weezy.
@Anon there’s no photographic right to privacy in a public place
@anon PWNED
@well now. if i get out my spectacles, maybe i’ll see your snot-nosed, scrunched up smirk
otherwise you all look the same
@nah i still adore the buildings and look at students around me sometimes and wonder if they know how lukcy they are
@Anonymous I want whatever you’re on.
@Wait, I remember going on tours and feeling like John Jay was the place for angels. Adoring the buildings… wishing I could just live on this campus… Watching all the students and wondering if they knew how lucky they were to get admission…
And now it feels like regular.
@Columbia Gates Inscription Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here
@senior thanks bwog, for your repeated reminders of how old i am.
@your name says it all get out old man
just kidding, i love ’11. or, most of them.
@any Good prospects?
@Already overheard “What’s with all the sweatpants? What is this, Duke?”
“Yeah, Blair Waldorf never wears sweatpants.”
Unless an Adcomm gets in my way, I’m gonna f*ck both these girls next year.
@jus' sayin you’ll probably have to cross the street to do it
@Anonymous KILL KILL KILL
@:) Best idea I’ve heard all day
@!! Blood makes the lawns grow.
