<p>Wow... these numbers are so low this year. I hope I get in off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Columbia uses SEAS for average SAT score data. If they do that they should also use a combined acceptance rate.</p>

<p>I don't think they do, because I've seen them broken out separately. You have support for this?</p>

to be fair, other schools (except Cornell) don't have explicit engineering schools, with the self-selected applicant pools that come along with them. it's not disingenuous to compare admit rates across the liberal-arts colleges.

<p>Ahem. The University of Pennsylvania has a separate engineering school but merges its acceptance rate along with Nursing, Wharton, College into a single "one university" acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I'm probably way behind, but I noticed that now the College Board website only has a "Columbia University" page, which seems to combine both schools for the SAT scores. I'm pretty sure there used to be two separate pages for CC and SEAS...</p>
<p>College</a> Search - Columbia University - Columbia - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®</p>
<p>I don't know when this happened, though. And wouldn't Columbia have reported those scores?</p>
<p>yeah, its kinda annoying how columbia students try and act like the engineering school brings them down...when in reality even though the acceptance rate is higher at SEAS the SAT scores are way higher as well</p>

<p>Not a single sane person actually attending CC believes that SEAS brings down the school. They realize that SEAS students work way harder than they do, can slaughter them in math and science, and most of them can hold their own in the humanities classes.</p>
