Barnard is Barnard, not Columbia!!!

[Anonymous]

Columbia COLLEGE and Barnard COLLEGE are both part of Columbia UNIVERSITY. Barnard was one of the original seven sisters, the women’s colleges that provided an ivy equivalent education for women back when schools such as Columbia College were all male. So Barnard is Barnard, and it’s also in Columbia.

These pioneering women’s colleges are also still great BTW, and there is a lot of misogyny centering on traditionally women’s colleges in this thread, and DCUM as a whole. “Full of lesbians” or “weakest school in the NESCAC. There’s a whole thread dedicated to attacking Wellesley College.

That’s no longer the case. However, the stats to enter Barnard are hardly anything to sneeze at. It’s an excellent school in its own right.

+1. Barnard’s acceptance rate is 13.6%. Roughly in the same range as Emory (19.2%), Georgetown (20.1%), Johns Hopkins (11.1%), Cornell (10.7%), Tufts (16.3%), Wellesley (20.4%), Rice (10.9%). Columbia is 6.9%. (I must admit some of these numbers surprised me!)

-1

These numbers are all wrong, from a basic search - where are you getting your numbers?? Did you make them up??

All of the acceptance rates for these schools are lower.

If these numbers are even accurate, they don’t account for the fact that Barnard only takes women, making their equivalent acceptance rate more like 7.8 percent.

Lots of insecurity from the Columbia folks. It's a fine school but it's silly to pretend it's an elite.

Based on reading of this thread, actually lots of insecurity from Barnard people.

The complicated relationship between these two schools is freaking out the obsessive-compulsive ranking fanatics. The stress is making them angry because they don't know which column to put Barnard in

Barnard is a great LAC, but its students cannot get into Columbia college/engineer. It is certainly embarrassing and false for Barnard students/graduates to say they go to an ivy.

So the students that go to the NY charter schools don’t go to Cornell? NY schools at Cornell heck of a lot easier to get in to then the business school (Dyson) or Arts and Sciences but they all go to Cornell.

Similar point here. Barnard still be part of Columbia. The Cornell schools all also have their own admission decisions. Incidentally the Barnard admission rate is lower than the Cornell NY state schools.

Over 400 posts on this topic? The same people who insist that people can be sexually non-binary can’t grasp the concept that a college is neither all Columbia nor all not-Columbia?

Curious how you “know” these are the same people - do you have evidence?

Nope, a lot of us graduated a long time ago and would love our DDs to go. I don’t know why you care so much?

Greta Gerwig went to Barnard and made one of the highest grossing movies of all time. That movie was so Barnard, and I loved it. Go Barnard!

All diplomas have Columbia University at the top and undergraduate college below it i.e. Barnard, Columbia College or Engineering College of Columbia.

The Wharton School of Business has The University of Pennsylvania at the top.

The Gabelli School of Business has Fordham University at the top.

And the list goes on. What is wrong with you people?

I just toured Columbia, which was fun since I've lived in nyc for 30 years and have been on campus a lot. there's a lot I didnt know.

but for sure - Columbia has different colleges. Barnard is as much as part of Columbia as the engineering school (both separate applications, requirements, etc). IRL, grads I've known say Barnard. People love their time there
