New Column: What Did You Say?

 commented on 

"This school has had a wacky admissions policy since at least 2006 when I applied and got out right rejected. I had a ~2300 SAT score, equally high SAT 2's, and just got out of the Army with a distinguished military record out of Fort Lewis. I filed a complaint that it was veteran discrimination because I felt like I had the highest SAT score of all rejected applicants and got no where doing so. My other applications came back and I was wait listed at Stanford, Cal Tech, and accepted to Columbia, and Duke, with UW being the lone rejection. I really wanted to go to UW because I loved the Seattle area, but couldn't because I was rejected. Anyway, I'm graduating from Columbia next month, so in the end it all worked out, I just wish I was able to root myself in Seattle rather than NYC."
