Ivy league engineering

Cornell was on his list but we talked him out of it given the cold, desolate location and Cornell's reputation for being a tough program with grade deflation.

My personal opinion is that his outcomes would be better if he went to any ivy or other top private (any one). How long will he remain a hands-on engineer anyways?

75th? That’s waaaaay not enough.

Columbia SEAS and Columbia College make up Columbia University in the City of New York, an Ivy League university. Obviously, you didn't go to Columbia.

I'm a 1990 graduate of Columbia SEAS. I consider Columbia College as Ivy League, but not SEAS. SEAS is a separate school with separate admissions.

I should have added that I don't consider Columbia's School of General Studies or Barnard to be Ivy League either.

Correct. What then constitutes "Columbia University" that belongs to the Ivy League? Columbia College is one. But then, Columbia College alone is not "Columbia University", if you know the meaning of "University." The meaning of "university" consists of more than "college. There is something else that goes with Columbia College to create Columbia University - Columbia SEAS.

Columbia University has three undergrad schools (four if you count Barnard): Columbia College, SEAS, and General Studies. I graduated SEAS. To me, Columbia College is Ivy League, but not SEAS and definitely not General Studies. Glad to learn that I am wrong. My life will be forever changed. Thanks.

He needs to go to MIT or Caltech or Stanford. Maybe Carnie Mellon or Harvey Mudd.

Ivy engineers go to consulting, banking, or become patent lawyers. A few go to Silicon Valley or work at NASA or such, but it’s a more theoretical/fundamental approach without nearly enough applied science to be a high caliber engineer.

— Princeton Engineer.

I am the SEAS graduate who just learned that I'm an Ivy League grad and the previous poster is generally correct. The on-campus recruiters that I recall most were consulting firms (I remember interviewing for Bain), banking, and engineering-management programs (e.g., GE's Edison Engineering program), and I know two fellow SEAS alums that are now Patent Attorneys. But I also now a few people who went on to get masters or PhDs in engineering and are working in industry (one of my classmates is doing very well at Google).

You've got me so confused now. If Columbia College "is not Ivy" as you have asserted above, then Columbia SEAS is not Ivy (same for Columbia General Studies). So, I was right all along -- Columbia SEAS is not ivy. I can go back to living my normal life now. Thanks again!

If you are the Columbia SEAS grad who just learned - through DCUM - that you are an ivy grad, I give no credibility to anything else you write.

NP: now I'm confused. No one said Columbia College isn't part of the Ivy League. I think you're more confused than you think and you're misinterpreting what the other poster said.

Clare College is a college at Cambridge University. No one would say a graduate of Clare College didn't graduate from Cambridge.

+1

I don't believe a Columbia graduate would say something like that.

+1. Does he want to go to an Ivy just to say he did? Because it won't give any edge in finding a job. His worry about Cornell makes him sound like he lacks maturity/is insecure.

It's more about a sense of accomplishment. He's worked very hard and feels he deserves better than Cornell. It's unfortunate they have a very strong engineering program but that he feels very little interest in the school aside from loosely being acknowledged as an Ivy school.

How would he even know what he wants? This is absurd and you should be influencing him not to think this way.

The Columbia School of General Studies IS one of the undergraduate schools that forms a part of Columbia University. See https://www.columbia.edu (scroll down to bottom of the page to see the list of schools). I am sorry to all the graduates of the Columbia School of General Studies, but I never considered you to be "Ivy League." Indeed, since I did not got to Columbia College, I did not consider my self "Ivy League." Apparently, some people on here are aghast that I did not consider myself Ivy League. "Ivy League has connotations of ... social elitism." (https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Ivy_League). I guess I need to start considering myself as a social elite.

By the way, I was not misinterpreting the PP. I was quoting the PP sardonically because the PP said, and I QUOTE, "Columbia College is not ivy."

Y’all rooted for the same (bad!) football team, so y’all were part of the Ivy League. I have no idea why you’re trying to make a distinction that no one else makes.
