<p>Is Columbia CVN a difficult place to gain admission?</p>
<p>I'm interested in M.S. in Engineering Management Systems</p>
<p>I graduated from a public university with a 3.1 GPA and my GRE scores are 720M/480V</p>
<p>Do I stand a chance or is it a waste of money to apply?</p>
<p>CVN’s admission standard is the same as on-campus students. </p>
<p>And I’d think your GPA is too low, and GRE Quan score is also too low.</p>
<p>Their minimum GPA requirement is 3.0, so you’re fine as far as that goes. I’m not sure about your GRE scores though.</p>
<p>I always wanted to know has Columbia turned down anyone who completed the Graduate Engineering Certificates (with good grades) from the M.S. program.</p>
<p>Minimum GPA is just formality. Columbia, 95% of the time, admits students with much higher GPA than minmum (unless you have something extraordinary to convince them otherwise, such as research papers).</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>Would someone gain admission if they aced one of the CVN grad certificates?</p>
<p>completing CVN certificate program does not guarantee you admission to degree program. but the admission decision does base heavily on the grade that you gained for any previous Columbia courses taken via CVN. </p>
<p>But the standard is the same as regular on-campus applicants since the contents of the courses and the exams are exactly the same.</p>
