[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is Columbia General Studies?[/quote]

it's a non traditional degree program usually for older students or ex military.  Not the same as columbia college although similar classes.  Your classmates and social scene (dorms etc) will be older so not exactly ideal.

Think of it as a backdoor to columbia.  Other ivy backdoors include the dual bachelor degree stem program agreements ivies have with certain SLACs (Reed college with Columbia Engineering, Mt. Holyoke with dartmouth, bates with dartmouth and columbia, or davidson with the same schools) - less competitive admissions to get in where you get degrees from the SLACs and the ivy engineering school with time on both campuses.[/quote]

That is a generous comparison. It’s basically a fake degree so Columbia can make money. The students are mediocre. I guess the goal is to be able to pass off that you “went to Columbia” and perhaps most of the time no one follows up. Reminds me of those 4 week Harvard Business executive things people with shitty educational pedigrees like to throw on their resume. [/quote]

You are an idiot. That FAKE degree is a Columbia Degree. Students take classes alongside every other Columbia College of Sciences and Engineering students.  THIS IS NOTHING like the BS HBS executive diploma mill…..  I’m an MD at a top IB in NYC. I have 4 Columbia “kids” working in my division. 2 Columbia College, 1 GS and 1 Dual BA with SciencePo. The top performing associate is a the Dual BA Columbia/Science Po and the second one is the other GS kid……Don’t be an idiot spreading fake information here…[/quote]

Are the admission standards nearly as high for GS? [/quote]

I have no idea and as a the guy making the final hiring decisions here, i dont care. All I care is performance. And whether you like it or not, my experience with these kids have been great, if not better than the experience I have had with the CC kids.[/quote]

The truth is, a Baruch kid might be even better. [/quote]
