<p>If you look at <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D">www.collegeboard.com</a>, and you do the collegesearch to add to your college list, find Columbia University: Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. If you click on the "Admission" tab, you will see that under Early Decision plan, 193 applied and 132 were admitted!!!</p>
<p>Are these numbers true??? Is this for this year, or in the past?</p>
<p>Also, everybody is saying how self selective columbia SEAS is....if the acceptance rate is this high, how self selective could this school possibly be?!</p>
<p>Dat Dude, the reason the acceptance percentage is so high IS because of a self-selective applicant pool. Also, I'd be willing to wager that many potential engineering students apply to more prominent schools (think: mit, stanford, cmu, harvey-mudd, etc)</p>
<p>This is not to detract from the Columbia SEAS: The 50% range of its SAT score is:
SAT Reasoning Verbal: 660 - 750
SAT Reasoning Math: 740 - 800</p>
<p>Not too shabby...</p>
<p>That just doesn't seem right. There is no way that the admissions stats are that high, and if they are, then the numbers are extremely old.</p>
<p>i don't think that's right. the acceptance rate for seas regular was in the 20s; how could it jump nearly 50 percent for early!?!</p>
<p>maybe they forgot a 0 at the end of the number of ppl who applied</p>
<p>nevermind that would make the acceptance percentage 6%</p>
<p>the numbr of applicants is wrong. <a href="http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/applications/stats.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/applications/stats.php</a> you'll see that for class of 2009 the number admitted is 132 (same as collegeboard.com) but the number of applicants is 268</p>
