[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both schools are hard to get into, but Columbia is far more selective.  Columbia's acceptance rate in 2025 was 3.9% while Barnard was 8.8%.  Bright kids are present at both school, but on average, Columbia College and SEAS undergrads have higher stats upon admittance.

GS is an easy admit, 25% of enrollment, and they take classes with the College and SEAS — that’s 1/4 of students significantly lower than Barnard. [/quote]

Yes, the PP didn't mention General Studies--which is a different pool of applicants and also includes many non-degree students.  The PP mentioned CC and SEAS which are far more selective, and employers who know Columbia University, know the relative selectivity of the various degere programs.

It's also not the case that GS students take all their classes with the CC and SEAS.  While General Studies students can enroll into some classes where Columbia College students are (ex: post-bac pre-med General studies students who would take the same pre-med requirements), they aren't permitted into many of the core curriculum classes that are marked as Columbia College specific, without a dean's ok.[/quote]
They are in all the major classes and all the non-Core classes. Every last one of them — as you well know. [/quote]
