[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it and it was a great decision.

I spent 3 years at a state school and then 2 at a private engineering school (Columbia U. SEAS).  I have a degree from Columbia and only paid 2 years of Columbia tuition!

I would not have been accepted to Columbia out of high school because I didn't become a good student until college.  At the state school, I studies physics and got mostly A's in all my science and math classes. [/quote]

Wow, congrats to you! Did you find that "catching up" at Columbia was difficult?[/quote]

Thank you.  I had to study my ass off, but I graduated Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu.  I wouldn't say I was behind my classmates and needed to catch up.  Remember, I studied three years as a Physics major which meant several semesters of calculus and a semester of partial differential equations.  Math is math, so if you master calculus and PDE at State U you are all set anywhere you go.[/quote]

Nice. Well done! I think it's great that you had the best of both worlds. [/quote]
