Decision Time: NYU v BARNARD (considering UCLA, BC, Wellesley)

<p>Mainly between Barnard and NYU
I already have a very "prestigous" internship in NYC (have no clue how I was selected) haha, which also makes me lean towards those two plus I love the city</p>

<p>I'm most likely majoring in econ/ poly sci, but have always had a hidden interest in neuroscience</p>

<p>I do want to be happy but at the "best" school academically as possible...</p>

<p>Let me know what you think :)</p>

<p>PLEASE</p>

<p>BUMP (whatever that means)

<p>BARNARD. Hands down.</p>

<p>I love them both. Can’t go wrong with either. Have you visited? That should help make your decision.</p>

<p>I would pick Barnard - more prestigious than NYU, in my opinion, and you can take classes at Columbia.</p>

<p>Yeah, I applied ED to Columbia, deferred then rejected today. I love the location and vibe of NYU but the classes and environment of Barnard/ Columbia.
Simply put, Columbia is my dream school and Barnard would be at least second best, so that is what I’m leaning towards.
I just don’t want the stigma of the Barnard girl who couldn’t get into Columbia (I mean, I am but whatever). I’m not ashamed of not cutting a less than 10% admissions rate, but from what I’ve heard, NYU takes alot of sub par students.</p>

<p>Barnard! my sister went to Barnard after getting deferred then rejected from Columbia too. she also got into NYU. she chose Barnard and has really loved it.</p>

<p>Stigmata went out of style 2000 years ago. There is no stigma to attending a top college that is not top 10…</p>

<p>go to Barnard, take a bunch of classes at Columbia, and be happy.</p>

<p>I would be deciding between UCLA and Wellesley.</p>

<p>km-You’ve heard wrong. NYU does not take “sub par” students. That’s absurd. And I’m extremely familiar with both schools as a native New Yorker and having family members who have attended both schools. But with that attitude I don’t know why you’re asking this forum–you’ve already made up your mind.</p>

<p>What differences do you see with students at the two schools?
Who can tell me the main differences between attending Barnard College and Columbia College?</p>

<p>Bump, please…not to be annoying but this is a huge decision and I keep oscillating.</p>

<p>if you dont want the inferiority complex go to Wellesley. I’m pretty sure its the #1 choice for many of the girls accepted there.</p>

<p>I decided against Wellesley today. It’s off the list. It sounds nice, but there’s no way I can go to a purely all girls school. Barnard is almost too all girls for me, but that’s what I’m leaning towards right now.</p>
