[Anonymous]

DD at Columbia and is having a great experience. Ignore the troll.

If by Columbia, we mean non GS Columbia, then Columbia>>>>NYU Stern. It’s not even close.
DCUM is full of wannabe losers.

The protesting is far more robust at Columbia.

If you're talking about recruiting in '25, Stern is considerably better than Columbia.

My personal feeling is that neither school is a healthy place for 18 year olds today. But at least the Columbia students have to read something to get through the Core. A very low bar.

Crime in NYC is about to skyrocket.

Can you please expand on that? DC is considering one of the NYC schools and I'm very concerned about this.

This person is a hateful troll who is referring to Mamdani now being in office.

But that is concerning to many people. It would be helpful to hear the truth about what's happening in NYC, not just the knee-jerk insistence that everything is fiiiiiine.

One of 400 waitlist admits? How many non-tenured profs are teaching her? Are non-Core classes curved at all? If so, it certainly helps having those 30% GS students in her non-core classes! At least many Coe classes do not have GS students; they are taught by graduate students.

Splitting hairs here....Columbia econ vs Stern for finance are similar, depends on what your kids want. I know people here are blinded by ivy status, but stern finance is equally good

NYU is one of the most maligned schools on this board, just above Cal.

How did nyu pull this off? I am genuinely curious. Are they providing a more useful, relevant, or rigorous education? Do they provide better networking events? What have they done?

NYU itself has risen a lot (#25 vs #18 Columbia), but NYU Stern has been very strong in the industry.
One of the top programs.

NYU is 32 in National Universities.

Professors snatched right off the street

Students, too

I'm already regretting responding to this, but here goes: she was not a waitlist admit, though I don't see why that matters. She had 2 non-tenured profs teaching her last semester. The other 3 were full profs, one being the department chair. None of her classes were curved. None of her classes were taught by grad students. She has met 2 GS students, one in the combined program with JTS and one in the combined program with TCD. In the parlance of the kids, she reports that all students are "cracked," with the exception of 1 football player in her Lit Hum class.

DP here. Thanks for writing as I am thinking that Columbia College would be wonderful for my senior DD and perhaps her top choice. Which school would your kid have chosen if she had not gotten into Columbia?

Wesleyan was her second choice. She's an artsy kid. We looked at other city schools, and she didn't like them very much. I was surprised. Over the break we were talking about how her life would've been different had she gone to another school, and while she's happy at Columbia, she agreed that she could've been happy at other schools too. There's no one perfect place!

PP here. My kid did not apply to Wesleyan but she did apply to a couple of other LACs. I'm trying to drill your last two sentences into her head (and my head too).

It's so hard. There's just way too much pressure! I really do believe what I said though. Best of luck to you & your DD!
