<p>I need to know some answers about the fu foundation, Columbia's engineering college. How close is its affiliation with Columbia University. That is, will I be able to take classes at Columbia University? Do med schools regard the Fu Foundation as the same academic level as the normal Columbia? Can I double major in engineering and another major that is not part of the Fu Foundation? Also, is it as selective as an ivy for admissions?</p>
<p>Thanks for the info</p>

<p>I'm glad to know that you've dubbed me an alumnus of the "abnormal" Columbia. f@#$% you!</p>
<p>kidding folks... only kidding...</p>
<p>here is something that will help answer all your questions:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.columbia.edu%5B/url%5D">www.columbia.edu</a></p>
<p>seriously, most of what you asked can be answered by doing just a little bit of research. </p>
<p>the only thing i will answer for you that is somewhat of an informed question is "can i major in engineering and [something not engineering or applied math/physics]" to which the answer is yes but you must complete both the seas and cc cores in addition to the major requirements...which is very hard but doable...i guess it's a little easier if you do like math/app. physics, physics/app. math, or chemistry/eee, or something like that....</p>
<p>oh, if you do some research and you still have some questions, please come back and ask. you will find us much more helpful if you first try and help yourself</p>

<p>Can you say TROLL?</p>
<p>all kidding aside, I think the odds are about 80% that he's serious (and just ignorant), and only 20% that he's a troll. some of us may want to actually, you know, answer his questions or something. I just can't bring myself to.</p>

<p>Yeah, I actually feel bad that no one has answered yet. I'm not actually a student, just a prospie, so i'm not 100% positive what I'm saying is true. Please feel free to correct me. </p>
<p>How close is its affiliation with Columbia University. That is, will I be able to take classes at Columbia University?
yes you can. SEAS is actually a college of the university so it's not really cross registering. In fact most of the core classes you have to take in the engineering school are CC courses. </p>
<p>Do med schools regard the Fu Foundation as the same academic level as the normal Columbia?
to my knowledge, yes, but i'm not thinking of med school. </p>
<p>Can I double major in engineering and another major that is not part of the Fu Foundation?
You can if you want to do two things. One is taking the full core laid out for CC students. The second is attending the school for 5 years with the 4-1 program. </p>
<p>Also, is it as selective as an ivy for admissions?
<em>sigh</em> I'm not one to love people who ask this question. I feel it should be more about where you think you fit than where you feel you can get accepted to. But with that said, it depends on your definition of "as selective". It has a higher acceptance rate but also has a higher average GPA and SAT scores. So interpret that as you please.</p>
<p>i think the point to make there is that SEAS is an undergraduate college that is part of an ivy league university. it's not "as selective as an ivy", it IS an Ivy, for whatever that's worth.</p>
<p>Ever since those Penn kids tried to pull off a couple of pranks in our facebook group, I've become a sceptic. This whole thing just smells fishy, I mean how can you not know that SEAS is part of Columbia and therefore an Ivy?</p>
