 At my school all grades are allowed to go off campus for lunch.   
And I changed my timetable around, I went from only having to take four courses my last year to having to take seven.

How About you? |  I'm applying for this scholarship called Questbridge. Basically, if you get the scholarship, they give you a full ride to one of their 35 partner colleges. But you have to choose your top 8 from their list, so I'll be applying to Stanford (my dream college, but it's such a long shot), University of Pennsylvania, Brown, Columbia, Princeton, Emory, Yale, and UCLA.  |

Not trying to alarm you or anything, just a reminder to put forth your best effort.  You got this!      
I would apply to Questbridge but Washington University isn't a partner therefore me no care.  |

But if I don't get accepted initially, I can  apply to those same colleges and others via regular decision.  |

I just think it's so hard to get in and idk, I hope I could get in. Same goes for Columbia.
 
My mom wants me to apply to Harvard since she graduated from there but I honestly don't want to go there.  |

But Columbia's campus is beautiful, and it's huge. It's my dream college next to Pepperdine(which is on the Malibu coast)  |

 |  What attracts me to Columbia is the fact that it is in New York. I want to study business, and there are so many different business opportunities and internships in NYC. But I haven't been able to see its campus in person. But it's so hard to imagine a big college in the middle of New York City. 
Omg I just looked up pictures of Pepperdine and its so beautiful.     |

Can you imagine the dorm view?    
Plus it has both of the 2 Majors I'm thinking about, Pysch & Political Science.
 
I do love NYC though, I visited there and I instantly fell in love with the City. Plus like you said, there are so many opportunities there for Post-Graduates. That's why NYU/Columbia are definitely on my list.  |
