Recently, I received a scholars nomination and as I looked online for more information about the programs, I found (solely on College Confidential) that one of the programs is seen better than the other even though they are essentially the same program under different names. Is one program really better than the other?
Which one did you get? I got Davis, but I believe Egleston is more prestigious because it has a separate page just for itself and there are fewer Egleston Scholars (about 10). Also, the benefits of Egleston are more clearly outlined. Just my two cents.
I got Davis. I don’t think more or seperate information points to it being more prestigious because the Rabi scholar program has less information than the Egleston scholar program, and the Rabi scholarship entitles better advantages. Also, there is more than 10 Egleston scholars. There seems to be about 20-30 every year (Columbia engineering website).
