Yes, there are a lot of people on campus clogging up the common areas, many of them grad students and GS students.

it's on my kid's RD list too. we live in nyc so he assumed it was too close to home (not that he's been in that area of town more than twice ever) .. but we toured and he loved it.

that's an app that will be done over xmas if ED doesnt happen

My DC has this on their RD list. Lots of supplementals. Such a long shot but he deserves to try for it. He would love it there so much.

Columbia is so pretty— impressive place

Cornell is how many X the size of Columbia?
There was a significant aberration last cycle in WL utilization at Columbia. It may be over now. But it was an aberration and was talked about widely.

Yes, and there were still about 60,000 Columbia applicants who were rejected.

1/4 of Columbia is GS — an easy admit. Almost as easy as their cash cow grad programs. The ship might not be sinking, but it is definitely taking on water: Columbia will soon share its New York brethren’s status as being the bottom feeder of the Ivy League.

and harvard has extension degrees. you are reaching. Columbia is, sorry to say, an Ivy League school with a sub 5% acceptance rate.

Fine. You keep on living your best life watching Fox News in a single wide in Nowheresville, Alabama and I will enjoy NYC. I'm not a fan of the new mayor but I still find it fascinating about how all of the morons in the rest of America are so concerned about our city while their lives are crap and being made worse by our Village People loving loser president.

People bring stuff up that’s been discussed before literally all the time on here. You sound weirdly pressed for no reason. Relax.

do you think that contributed to the sub-5% acceptance rate?

you people are crazy.
