[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.  [/quote]

I don't get it why you splitting hairs here.  Barnard is a college of Columbia University, and it's super selective as is.  Barnard's acceptance rate is comparable to many top schools including Cornell (8.8% vs 8.9%).

Nobody would think Cornall Agriculture or hotel management is not an ivy, their acceptance rate is higher than Cornell Engineering or CAS.  
Nobody would say Penn CAS is not ivy, their acceptance rate is higher than Wharton SEAS.
They all have separate admissions.

In terms of core curriculum, Columbia SEAS takes only half of the core curriculum.  If core is so sacred, would you say Columbia SEAS is only half of an ivy?

So what is it?  Why are you so against a women's college in an ivy league university?[/quote]
