<p>Is it possible to apply to both Columbia college and Barnard college in the same year?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Yes, you can definitely apply to both. They are separate colleges and the admissions processes are completely separate. According to their admissions officers at the info session, neither school knows if the applicant has applied to the other or not, nor what decisions the other admissions committee makes. She said they only know about cross admits when they ask admitted students who decline enrollment where they chose instead - and that Columbia is not a very common answer. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
