<p>Hey guys...just wondering, how many kids from your school were accepted into Columbia this year???</p>
<p>4 out of 6 who applied. 1 is going. usually it's relatively easy to get into columbia, compared to other ivy league caliber schools..</p>
<p>^Which is why it has the lowest acceptance rate?</p>
<p>LoL @ "It's an easier Ivy to get into". (10char)</p>
<p>And it is for this precise reason (ignorance), that Columbia won't be going anywhere up anytime soon.</p>
<p>On another note, I went to a neurologist at Columbia Medical Center today and while she was making small talk, she inquired where I was going to College. I told her Columbia and she said, "Oh I heard they are raising their score requirements." THen she told me her daughter went to Harvard to which I nodded and smiled.</p>
<p>I just looked through his post...gopumas is just bitter because he didn't get in.
CC had the lowest acceptance rate of any college in the country.
SEAS had the second lowest acceptance rate for any engineering school in the country (2nd only to MIT).</p>
<p>That doesn't mean CC is the "hardest" school to get into, but it means it's one of the hardest schools to get into, and that no one is a guarantee...even if you get into HYPS.</p>

<p>Yeah, your 67% acceptance rate and 25% matriculation rate is representative.</p>
<p>^Especially considering, as a bitter, REJECTED student, he probably made it up.</p>
<p><em>Next</em> year I will probably be a bitter rejected student lol...
but this year in my school 16 applied and 2 got in.
(I don't think either of the two were ED)</p>
<p>On another note, 20 people in the class of 2007 applied to Harvard and six got in. My school was happy in THAT respect this year :)</p>
<p>i'm guessing you're in massachusetts? My (public) high school always seemed to get preferential treatment from harvard, with like 10-15 kids every year between EA and RD. getting into stanford was the real tough task, freakin nobody made it in there.</p>
<p>I went to a TTT (or lower, actually) public high school in Mass. Virtually everyone that applied to Tufts, BC, BU, etc got in. I know far smarter kids in other parts of the country that couldn't get into any of those schools (including BU). Kids that applied to comparable schools in other parts of the country rarely got in. Go figure.</p>
<p>we're sending 11 to columbia out of 240.</p>
<p>9/13 in early,
something like 6/20 more got in regular.</p>
<p>22 people got into Princeton, which I find fairly ridiculous.</p>
<p>420ish class public schools; 23 going to Ivies, one to Columbia...</p>
<p>22?!?!... 10 Princeton at my school, 13 Columbia (6 CC, 7 Fu) out of ~80/90 who applied.</p>
<p>2 to Columbia out of 8 who applied (compared to 4 to princeton, 4 to harvard, 7 to yale, 7 to brown, 1 to cornell, and 0 to dartmouth) out of a 126 person class.</p>
<p>Penn 13
Cornell 4
Yale 2
Brown 2
Columbia 1
Dartmouth 1</p>
<p>Pretty decent. We had ~30 last year though.</p>
<p>I'm guess your school is in PA?</p>
<p>Yeah, 'burbs of Philly.</p>
<p>Denzera, I think I remember reading where you went to high school a while back. It's got such a good reputation. Know a couple people who go there. </p>
<p>My class size is around 260, and five people got into Ivies this year. Three people applied to Columbia, but I'm the only one who got in (ED). For some reason, Columbia isn't very popular at our school (even though NYU is - I know that the two schools are very different, but for people who like NYU, location is an important reason). Only seven people applied in the past three or four years, while most other Ivies have been pretty popular (well, except Princeton).</p>
<p>No one gets into Stanford or MIT, though.</p>
<p>hey, as long as they all realize Princeton sucks, they're doing god's work :)</p>
<p>Umm, no one. We haven't gotten anyone into Columbia in a very very long time. That said, we have 1 going to Penn, 4 to Princeton, and 3 or 4 to Cornell. The ivies don't really like us for some reason.</p>
<p>(all of those Princetons happened with major pulling and negotiating from our admin, who seemed bent on getting Princeton to break off a 10+year long grudge against us. Guess it worked)</p>
