Reflection: 

I have heard lots about Columbia University and it is a great school not just in the medical field but in lots of fields. President Obama transferred to Columbia University after attending Occidental University in Los Angeles. So it must be a great school. Although I believe Columbia University is a great school, I do not believe it is the school for me. Therefore I would not apply to it nor would I want to go there.
