| Interesting how nobody is talking about Columbia this cycle. Not sure if fewer applied or if people just aren’t posting. |

| How is it remotely interesting, given that so much has already been said on these talk boards? |

| after all the talk last year, they had a 4.29% acceptance rate. so much for "nobody is applying to Columbia" |

| Kid’s BF applied ED1. Really hoping they increase enrollment and therefore chance of getting in. |

Yale 773 565 23 4.1%
Cornell 8103 6190 388 6.3% Dartmouth 2,589 2,189 29 1.3% UPenn 2,958 2,288 66 2.9% Princeton 1,734 1,396 40 2.9% first column is waitlist, accepted waitlist, offered spot. columbia used to have a wl of about 1000 and offered just 10 spots. last year they offered 40. not sure if that's "deep" but it's about the same as Princeton. tbh, your idea of a mess is bs |

Parent of a current Columbia College student- it’s actually a great school, amazing education, lots of activities and beautiful campus. See it for yourself if your student is interested it is nothing like the haters on DCUM think.
By the way Stanford, Harvard, Duke and others went deep into their WL’s too and up to the week of move in- international students didn’t/couldn’t take spots. “Expansion” would mean an average freshman class of 1800- not exactly huge, smaller than Penn or Cornell |

They accepted 389 off the waitlist which raised their overall acceptance rate about one half of one percent. It was still the third most lowest rate of all colleges with an acceptance rate of 4.2%. |
