[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't imagine a kid who wants to go to NYU wanting to go to Columbia. Also agree with other posters that getting into Columbia is for those with stellar grades, scores and a unique talent/national accomplishment or demonstration of true leadership of some kind (not president of his/her class but the kind of kid who can raise tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars for medical research or disaster relief for example. Columbia is a great school, but super intellectual. They have one of the most rigorous and strict set of distribution requirements of any school I've seen. The students are the kind of kids who are as happy as clams if they can spend hours and hours discussing/debating esoteric topics on weekend nights. Student athletes might be the exception.[/quote]

The two student athletes we know at Columbia also have eye-watering (in a good way) academic qualifications. [/quote]

No offense intended regarding student athletes. Just saying that since sports requires them to be less single-minded they may be a little less uber intellectual. But I could be wrong of course.[/quote]

In any case, you're right about Columbia students staying up late on a Wednesday night discussing insights from the St. Augustine reading in the core curriculum.[/quote]
