Barnard is Barnard, not Columbia!!!

[Anonymous]

So a whole thread to criticize how a 17 or 18 year old posted her acceptance on social media? What? Are we teenagers?

The only people who seem to be upset about all this are a certain subset of Columbia women who are scared that, god forbid, someone might think they’re Barnard, and have to go on a little rant about it whenever they meet someone new.

Also to pp who asked about an Ivy League degree - I don't say I went to an Ivy. However, the Ivy League is a Division I athletic conference just like SEC, Big 12 etc. It has come to colloqueally mean something else to people but in reality it is only an athletic conference and nothing more. Barnard women are indeed a part of the Columbia University athletics program. Just for example - https://gocolumbialions.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster or https://gocolumbialions.com/sports/fencing/roster CC = Columbia College, BC = Barnard College SEAS = School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. In my day SEAS was actually was considered a back way into the university but I seriously doubt that is the case now!

What the hell is YPSM? And who cares?

Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT

I care. The Columbia add-on bothers me.

Go take your med and go back to that thread where you were asking for help getting your struggling kids to Towson and Morgan.

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!)

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.

Literally just Google “X college acceptance rate” and Google comes up with results.

Results sure but not always the latest year.

Yes, technically.

Columbia doesn’t give this breakdown but does anyone have the demographic breakdown to compare Barnard vs Columbia girls?

I assume Barnard is whiter, less Asian and black. Dunno about Jewish women — equal between the two?

Google pulls its stats from 2020 US News listings. You don’t seem to have done your own research, you just don’t like what you are reading here.

Columbia is more racially diverse but Barnard has more income diversity.
