[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long will Columbia be ranked around the #18 range? Is that ranking here to stay, or is it just a one year fluke as "punishment" for the data falsification scandal?[/quote]

I'd expect them to be back in the 7-18 range over the next 5 years but gone are the top 5 days. [b]Honestly, did anyone really believe they were a top 5 undergrad school though?[/b][/quote]

Every Columbia undergrad alum I know hated their time there. The lack of focus on undergrads, poor funding, poor sense of community, and cutthroat and competitive vibe [b]make Columbia a second-tier experience compared to HYPSM or even Penn/Dartmouth/Brown[/b].

Exhibit A:

+2. No one ever bought that Columbia was top 5. [/quote]

Columbia undergrad alum here and I'd never send my kids there. Most of the people I know from undergrad say the same. IIRC Columbia has the lowest percent of the student body who are legacies because most alumni are smart enough not to have their kid repeat the same mistake they made. [/quote]
