[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s cute that Columbia, which is overwhelmingly a graduate/professional university, has ascended to the near top at USNWR.  It is a superlative school for sure, but definitely has benefited by playing into the criteria used by that ranking system. [/quote]

No idea what this means since everyone knows that Columbia has a very strong undergraduate presence [/quote]

A very strong undergraduate presence with 1/3 of its undergraduates not matriculated as 18 year olds out of high school?   Columbia’s stats are skewed by ignoring a huge minority of students who came through the back door.  Those same students in the College of General Studies take classes alongside Columbia College students, so it’s not like they have an entirely separate curriculum.   I highly doubt than any other of the top ten undergraduate schools have that high a percentage of alternative students.  [/quote]

Harvard has about 1,000 students enrolled in its extension school. Penn has a college of liberal studies, but they decline to publish the # of students. Just fyi, most of the students enrolled in GS are actually veterans (and it was set up precisely for this reason) who spilled blood for this country to protect your pathetic, lazy asses so that you can disparage them anonymously on this forum. Say that in front their faces, I dare you. [/quote]
