<p>Type in "Columbia" in their search and you only see Columbia University and General Studies along with other colleges, but no Fu Foundation:

<p>Go through Google's Cache and it definitely used to be there:
College</a> Search - Columbia University: Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science - Engineering - Admission</p>
<p>Am I missing something?</p>
<p>Columbia University is composed of the College and Fu.</p>
<p>I knew that, but so is GS, yet it still has its own listing.</p>
<p>I just find it interesting that Fu foundation was a separate listing one day, then deleted the next. The acceptance rates were a lot higher so I'm assuming that's why they requested that it be deleted. (Freshman = 24%, Transfers = 24%, too...).</p>
<p>Maybe, but I think it has to do more with consistency - seeing as how the College doesn't have a separate listing.</p>
<p>Also, SEAS and the College have more in common with each other than either of them does with GS.</p>
<p>That can certainly be a reason as well. I just find it really interesting that they <em>just</em> deleted it right before the majority gets their decisions back and they have to release new rates (for transfers, too). April 1st, right? 2 weeks away; how convenient.</p>
<p>Or it could be a combination of the two.</p>
<p>Then again, picture the Office of Admissions saying, "well, we should be consistent, so lets remove SEAS but keep GS out there because it's not as closely related as SEAS is." they're all programs within one university so why remove one and not the other, especially if their primary reason was to be consistent with that of other unis.</p>
<p>I wouldn't rule consistency out, though. Valid hypothesis.</p>
<p>Columbia admissions has been making a conscious effort to undo a stupid older policy of reporting and marketing CC and SEAS as separate undergraduate schools. While this is technically true, neither of the other 2 ivy league schools with multiple undergraduate schools reports data separately (Cornell and Penn), and for that matter, I can't think of any good example of a school with mutiple colleges reporting them under any other heading than a joint university report.</p>
<p>Over the last few years Columbia's quietly merged the identities of the school in terms of marketing into a single "Columbia" brand.</p>
<p>GS gets its own billing because it by and large caters to a different audience, has different admissions requirements in terms of what you need to submit, and works asynchronously to the normal admissions cycle.</p>
