Hey! I was wondering if anyone knows how much SAT scores and IB points required for dual BA in Columbia -Science Po
Is it easier to get accepted than to Columbia straight away?
Thanks!
Hey!
As a current student enrolled in the program, I can tell you that there isn’t a threshold score for the SAT and IB points. It is a much more holistic point of view that focuses on your future goals, as this program is very specific, usually to students interested in international politics, economics, relations, and other social sciences. I would say that the standardized scores are roughly equivalent to those of CC and SEAS, with less of a focus on the math section.
Hope this helps!
@SickofApps what campus are you studying at? Did you apply from the US or as an international student?
@sk3954 I spoke with Patrick Martinez, director of the dual-degree program at Columbia-Sciences Po, few times since Columbia emailed back in the summer inviting me to apply to this program. I asked him specifically about the number of applicants and acceptance rate. He said that they received 1000 applications last year, they enrolled a class of 95 total divided among the 3 campuses). Of the class of 2019, just under half of those 95 students come from the US and the rest are international (including French). After applying, only the finalists get invited for an interview. It is quite impressive to have an interview. A current student said they accept more than half the finalists and they do have a waiting list too. They are expecting more applicants for this year though. Good luck!
