Now. the Ivy League has come to mean more than an athletic conference, but it is a concept in people's mind so how do you define the edges of a concept like that?

If what people are trying to communicate with the term "ivy league " is that a particular student completed the admissions gauntlet and won a lottery ticket to a school then admissions to Barnard is not admissions to Columbia.

The Harvard Extension discussion is interesting but given there are zero entry requirements I think it is not the same as someone earning a Harvard BA and also less "prestigious" than a Barnard BA.

Well is Columbia General Studies considered Ivy of we use your criterion?

No. They do not play on teams in the Ivy League athletic conference.

In that case Barnard is an Ivy because their students do play on teams in the Ivy League athletic conference

I am genuinely curious why anyone would care about this- who on earth as a dog in this fight?

The most damning evidence is that Columbia itself says that it has three undergraduate divisions (the College, Engineering, and GSAS).

The bold is laughable. Harvard extension degrees and their many 2-week certificate programs derive their prestige from Harvard. As someone said, Harvard students are just as good as Harvard extension students. They run circles around 2nd tier college students - Vandy, U of ND, USC, BU, BC, Northwestern, Emory, WashU - any day. Harvard is Harvard.

Ah, we found the Harvard Extension grad! No doubt just puts "Harvard" on his resume.

It’s from Harvard. At least these students went to Harvard. This is something that 99.99% of the population will never experience in their life time. Not in this life.

Acceptance alone won’t tell you the quality of the program bc of the self-selecting nature of this highly sought after program. Only the highly qualities people will apply so those who can’t make the cut won’t bother.

LOL so the real Hardavrd is not self-selecting so the acceptance rate is like 5% but somehow the fake Harvard is highly self-selecting.
You are living a fake life.

I know a mom whose URM son was an athletic recruit to Harvard and she added “Harvard mum” to all of her social media. Some folks are just so shameless and thirsty.

WHere the hell didn’t you get 5% for “real” Harvard? Do you really, really believe what “real” Harvard tells you? Had they added harvard extension admit rate, do you seriously believe it’s still 5%? Do you think, maybe, Harvard is fudging it’s data by excluding Harvard extension from its “real” Harvard admit rate? Harvard extension is as real as it gets.

I say this with the best possible intentions: you should stop sharing this with people, even with your friends. This is not an attractive look and your post is more than a little ironic.

Is Columbia General Studies the school you go to if you do the Columbia/Trinity Dublin dual degree? Is that why it is so easy to get into?
