[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]

GS are truly different students, generally 5-10 years older, adults who for a variety of reasons didn’t go to college right after high school.
often vets or people who have worked/gone to community college. They don’t live in the CC/SEAS dorms and they don’t really socialize with them.  
IMO GS is real benefit to people who otherwise would likely never have access to that level of educational resources

+1  General Studies students are a mixed bag--some are bright, others not so much.  They are a cash cow for the university, particularly the non-degree students, similar to Harvard's Extension school.  [/quote]
