[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My DD was advised by a friend’s sister (who goes to Columbia) not to apply to Barnard unless she can handle feeling “looked down upon” by Columbia women. She wasn’t trying to be mean- in fact, she suggested that she hates that there’s this attitude among her Columbia peers but wanted my DD to go in eyes wide open. Curious if others have heard or experienced this.[/quote]

Go on a campus tour of each and visit many different departments. Ask questions. See how certain low-level /entry science courses are taught on Barnard's campus (for Columbia undergrads--ie those not ready for the normal starting level of chem or bio). Whether or not Columbia women and men say it out loud or not, Barnard is considered easier and the women not as bright. Same with the dual-foreign-school kids who are "General Studies' when they finally get to Columbia as juniors. Not right or nice or whatnot, but the dynamic is present. Talk to a lot of current students and you will see.[/quote]

New poster, but isn’t General Studies much easier to get into vs. Barnard and is quite large? I would Barnard women would be more respected than that cohort.[/quote]
