<p>Are the applicants to SEAS and columbia college judged together, by the same admissions committee? Or do they go to seperate places to be judged by seperate groups of people?</p>
<p>Same committee, same readers, same regional reps, etc. but they generally will discuss CC people one day and SEAS people some other day for ease.</p>
<p>okay, I was wondering mostly because there are two different CEEB codes for sending SAT scores. One for Columbia University, Columbia College and another for Columbia University, Fu Foundation.</p>
<p>so SEAS applications are not reviewed by more members of the science/engineering departments? I would have guessed that this was the case.</p>
<p>No. CC applications aren't reviewed by members of the arts and sciences faculty, either.</p>
<p>that seems weird.
at least for UCLA in my case, apparently the engineering school reviewed my app and i ended up receiving this special rec from the faculty.
i guess the Columbia faculty doesn't have such time for prospective students huh.
hm. well. NYC. figures.</p>
<p>i don't think it has anything to do with new york city. The professors ought to spend their time with their research and their students, not reviewing 18,000 applications among the ~400 of themselves.</p>
<p>I think UCLA is the exception, not the rule.</p>
<p>I'm not sure why an engineering prof would be in better position to judge a college application than a full-time adcom would be.</p>
