[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Acceptance rate doesn't mean much, especially when the school is test optional.  The 4% acceptance rate only means a lot of underquanlified take their chances at a test optional school.

Columbia takes tons of hooked students.  Selectivity doesn't equate to student quality.  [/quote]

That acceptance rates don't mean much is your opinion, not a fact.  I disagree.  Barnard is also test optional but has a much smaller applicant pool and a much higher acceptance rate (10%)  than Columbia College & SEAS (4%).

And news flash--nearly every elite university takes "hooked students" if by hooked, you mean providing an admissions preference to legacy applicants, big donor kid (development admit) applicants and athletic recruits.  The exceptions are Cal Tech and MIT, but every other Ivy operates the same way as Columbia.

The only ivy that's still test optional.  Enough said.[/quote]

Wrong again.  Princeton is test optional this year as well.  But it’s entertaining how you think you know things but don’t.
