<p>When considering their applicant pool as a whole (ie. overall diversity, applicants from the same school, etc) does Columbia College and SEAS look at each others applicant pools collectively, or are the applicant pools generally separated?</p>
<p>Together, for the most part. For one, the regional admissions officers handle both CC and SEAS. Also, since the two schools are completely intermixed socially (same dorms, etc.), they're looking to "fill a class" in the overall sense.</p>
<p>So the same people who read CC apps read SEAS apps?</p>
<p>Yep. It's one staff. There aren't people who do SEAS and people who do CC.</p>
<p>I have no idea whether the committee meetings are separate ("we discuss SEAS from 9-11am, and CC in the afternoon"), or whether everyone is mixed together. I never thought to ask.</p>
<p>i think its separate
i asked the admissions representative</p>
<p>There is only one regional admissions officer for each region, so in that respect the apps are considered together. However, I was told that after the first "tier" of admission consideration by the regional officer, the applicants are largely considered separately. However, i think C2002 is right in that each pool does largely affect the other.</p>
