    I feel that it is bias that a person who reads Marvel comics would not be considered because of this. That person could be the next journalist or author. Maybe they are interested in the dynamics of how Marvel books are made and want to become an engineer who makes games. Also I am glad that test scores are optional because all students don't test well but make excellent grades and are that curious, inquisitive, creative and critical thinker who would do extremely well In Columbia.

    I just got to the part about the standardized testing. If I got a 34 on the ACT but only got a 1400 on the SAT, would it hurt me to submit both scores? Thanks!

    Will a typo on my supplemental essay lead me to appear as unprepared and a possible rejection?
