I got in to USC on 12/1, paid $500 deposit on 1/12, got accepted from Columbia on 1/22, and paid $2000 deposit again. I guess I'll be seeing you all in August. Think I made a good choice choosing Columbia over USC?
Another thing is about housing. I saw the threads from 2008 that Columbia send out housing application over snail mail in March. Do they still do that this year? Because it seems like I can apply online already...

I've been wondering about this too..
