[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you apply to Barnard and Columbia.
Rejected by Columbia but got in Barnard.

You still claim Columbia.
That's a fraud.[/quote]

60% of Barnard admits were ED. You don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Most girls come in to Barnard very “Barnard-focused”. But once you get there it becomes harder to distinguish. Sororities are joint, many extra curriculars are joint, sports etc.  dining halls and libraries are open to both. So depending on your activities and classes you can end up feeling like it’s one and the same. My DD friend group is a mix and I don’t know who is Barnard and who is Columbia.

FWIW my DD is a Columbia legacy but only applied to Barnard (ED) because she likes the campus, dorms and class sizes better. My DH went to Columbia and feels like she’s attending his school. When he talks about his “classmates” some are Barnard grads.

So no, Barnard and Columbia are not the same, but it is a unique relationship that is hard to understand if you don’t go there. [/quote]

ED to Barnard and claim Columbia.
Sounds exactly like a backdoor.[/quote]

What are you so angry about?  Why do you care about this so much? And why do you keep misquoting?[/quote]

Exactly. It is not wrong to say you go to Barnard College of Columbia University or Barnard College, Columbia.  It is not fine to say you go to Columbia.  Whether it's a backdoor frontdoor or side door, the College is an official part of Columbia (ask the Protesters).  My kids friend is going to the Columbia graduation ceremony this week as part of Barnard.  The degree has both schools on it.  The gate says Barnard and Columbia.

Some posters are becoming protesters.  Going out of their way. [/quote]
