<p>i hear that columbia is not as number oriented as other schools are, is this true?</p>
<p>HA HA HA, that's a myth that we will have to find out :(, but from the looks of past acceptee, it's very much a number game (at all schools!)</p>
<p>No, that is not true.</p>
<p>I think all of the top schools aren't as number oriented as most people think. In general, when dealing with a school that has a very low acceptance rate, you want to have competitively high numbers, but you don't need to have a 2300+ to get accepted or something. And as always, even if you do have high numbers, it doesn't guarantee anything.</p>
