We are full pay. No merit at BU or NU but $10k at Sycracuse.


None of those are top 20.



Just an example of where a kid was accepted...

Full pay is a hook. 3.6/1300 doesn’t sniff Northeastern at our school if requesting FA. Our daughter was waitlisted at 3.95/1450.

GS is only available to kids too old for admission to the college or who are in special programs like JTS or Julliard.


That's not true. I know lots of kids that went there after taking a semester at c.c. or doing nothing. They only require you be out of traditional school for 6 months.


A year now.

Applicants are only eligible for admission if they have taken a break of a year or more in their educational paths or have a compelling reason for which they can only attend Columbia as a part-time student.
