Columbia School of General Studies Transfer Acceptance Rate 58%

Based on its Common Data Set, CSGS accepts transfers applicants at a rate of 58%. Since transferring represents the predominate path of entry into CSGS, this figure adheres closely to the undergraduate division’s overall acceptance rate. This information appears more accessible than in the past because of Columbia’s decision to provide Common Data Sets as part of its public information.

Yes, here is the common data set for CSGS. Note that interest is considered Very Important. So I’m guessing that they accept a high number of students because those students have shown clear interest. https://opir.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/Common%20Data%20Set/Common%20Data%20Set%20Columbia%20General%20Studies%202021-2022.pdf

GS is becoming a much more easier side door into Columbia… worse for the reputation for GS from CC/SEAS perspective
