My application is due in a few hours and i'd really appreciate some help
the prompt is:
Please tell us what you find most appealing about Columbia and why (in 1500 characters).
While eating lunch on the steps of the Low Library with a couple of old friends who now attend Columbia, I noticed the astounding degree of intellectual thinking and involvement that defines the school. I imagined being in the midst of such a vibrant and intellectual community while working towards my goal of becoming a cardiologist. Columbia offers innumerable opportunities that cater to all of my interests, academic or otherwise. Classes in Columbia's renowned Core such as Classical Civilizations and Frontiers of Science would greatly complement a more science-intensive premedical curriculum. Merely sitting in on one core class has already allowed me to gain different perspectives and put my studies in context with a dynamic world that is constantly changing. The SURF program would allow me to continue and delve deeper into my extensive research. The unparalleled diversity in the student body would allow me to further expose myself to other cultures, something I greatly enjoy learning about. I want to be a part of the history of leading innovations that Columbia has fostered. I can see myself contributing greatly to both the research at Columbia as well as the community. I can see myself attending dance rehearsals for the Bhangra team or being mentored by one of the Nobel laureates that constitute the elite faculty. I can see myself proudly wearing blue, both on campus and on the soccer field. I can see myself as a true Columbia Lion.
Should be around 1457 characters, so I don't need to cut it down.
