[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is interesting that in the 1980s Columbia had a 65% admit rate while Barnard had a 50% admit rate. NO ONE wanted to go to college in Harlem (really Morningside Heights).

Anyway, Barnard was/is still the easier admit. Sister went there back then, she never could have swung an Ivy acceptance but my whole family referred to it as Ivy/Columbia just to make her feel better and bc I was at an Ivy.

It’s a good school that is just outside Ivy caliber. Diploma says BC of CU.

Gee, it's across the street that takes all of 10 seconds to cross. Barnard is physically small because they share the entire campus with the rest of Columbia.  Barnard does have a nice, modern library that many CU kids use.  Not sure it's outside ivy caliber cuz Barnard, Wellesley, and many 7 sisters are definitely preferable to Cornell that PP went.

I would personally pick Cornell over Barnard and Wellesley. It is way tougher than either Barnard or Wellesley [/quote]

Hotel management is just high-class waiting. [/quote]

Not nice.  My kid is at Cornell Arts and Sciences and for a lot of Hotel Kids, it is there only way out of low income households. Be grateful for what God has given you and don't look down on others.  [/quote]
