<p>How many transfer into columbia each year? how many applicants?</p>
<p>5% acceptance rate. Lots of luck!</p>
<p>I think it depends on how many spots are open within each major.</p>
<p>Majors don't have "spots." That's not how Columbia works. I know you're a future grad student, but there's a lot of ugrad admissions / ugrad curriculum stuff you're not getting right.</p>
<p>maybe davidng1 is from the UK, I here over there you have to apply to a specific major (they call it "course")</p>
<p>ANYWAYS david, you should probably stop dispensing incorrect information.</p>

<p>firstly, he said "i think". secondly, you're coming off as condescending and chastising. you are a high school sr, he is a college sr.</p>
<p>davidng1 is just trying to help out. My friend who goes to Cornell told me that the freshmen electrical engineering courses purposely grade harshly so that students would change majors because the major is "over-enrolled". For some reason, the department doesn't want too many students. If you were to apply as an electrical engineering transfer student to Cornell, that might be frowned upon by admissions. I'm sure the chair of the engineering departments have influence in admissions, whether it is made public or not. Perhaps, that was the point davidng1 was trying to get across.</p>
