You continue to call Stanford, which like Harvard is a superior school to Columbia, Standford. I’m not sure you’re being facetious or just too dumb to realize your mistake. In the meantime, extension schools are recognized as extension degrees. Most of the learning is off campus and they certainly do not carry the same cachet as a regular degree from Stanford of Harvard. Columbia University doesn’t not consider its students in the SGS getting an extension degree, as well they shouldn’t. They couldn’t charge full tuition if they were and wouldn’t allow students to take all of there coursework along with the rest of the student body.

Lol, my own kid did Standford EPGY that serves k-12 gifted kids, on-campus/off-campus. Standford doesn’t get dumpted on for that. My kid thought it was a good experience.

Thanks for proving you’re a troll.

My kid did EPGY. It’s a good program. And if it’s Standford that hurt you to rage against the world, you have to wonder why go there.

“Columbia submits and fully advertises the GPA and test scores for each of its undergraduate divisions. There is no skullduggery. Anyone can read these”

Really now? So 3,000 students, aged 25 and up have their GPA and test scores listed? 1/3 of the undergraduate student body who are in SGS, are taking classes alongside with the rest of their peers and you say they have this information readily available? I’m trying to find the the GPA’s and scores for students enrolled in the SGS. Can you help me out please?

If Standford is teaching you to step all over others to get ahead, no thanks. I don’t know anyone in ivies who does this.

Here is the GS admissions web page + further information on GS. It says clearly that it is dedicated to providing a first rate education for 'non-tradtional students', 'created specifically for returning and nontraditional students seeking a rigorous, traditional, Ivy League undergraduate degree full or part time.' 'GS will support your unique needs as a non-traditional student, with dedicated student advising, financial aid counseling, and community activities.'

This is a completely different institution and admissions from Columbia College which accepts only traditional students. Different admissions, different perspectives, different diplomas.

Asa College student, having some GS older students around with great experiences was like having an older brother or sister share things with me I could never know about at the age of 18-22. They few I encountered made my College education better and wiser.

I was proud to have met some veterans. Knowing them made me a better person and wiser.

The College is like an intellectual laser beam, highly focused. The GS students never interfered or reduced that quality of intense focus, and if anything enriched it.

Any employer would much rather tell a client they have a Harvard grad on staff than a Columbia one.

This was very well written. If this was a result of a Columbia education, then this reflects well.

My 8th grader can write more coherently than this clown.

Can you send us an example of your eighth grader's writing skills ?

Clowns are good - they make people laugh and strive to feel better about themselves; and not make people cry. Perhaps you require some of this 'feel good' from a local clown.

This is where I disagree with you. If 1/3 of the undergraduates are matriculating after the age of 25, it should be safe to assume that most of these students are not of the same caliber as those matriculating at HYPSM as 18 year olds. Those schools, all of them, do not have 1/3 of their enrollment wrapped up with untraditional students.

This post seems to suggest that 18 year olds are more intelligent than 25 year olds.

This is why MIT students aren’t impressed by Harvard. All MIT students are qualified to be where they are. Not true with all Harvard students.

Who cares? MIT admits a lot of kids turned down by other Ivies.

Yeah, because the Ivies look at a lot of non-academic factors i.e. legacy status, parent's donations to the school, etc. when admitting students. MIT doesn't.

No one cares.

Anyone in industry and academia looks more highly on MIT degrees than Harvard, particularly because of the admissions process (they know the candidate is not going to be an undeserving child of a wealthy legacy of donor) and academic rigor.
