<p>Hey fellow Kluge Scholars,</p>
<p>I thought it'd be a good idea to get to know each other. Just tell everyone a bit about yourself.</p>
<p>Your post number is 666.</p>
<p>Kluge Scholars is a ridiculous program. Columbia's way of telling all minorities that they're special.</p>
<p>Got one here :) Don't care if it's "ridiculous", it was an honor to be chosen.</p>
<p>Hm... snack kinda makes all the scholar programs sound like crap. maybe someone should add another perspective to this?</p>
<p>I posted several times on this thread:</p>
<p>I would largely agree with snack's comments on the scholar programs.</p>
<p>It's a small program (80 kids out of 1000 isn't a lot) and it helps you get internships. Is it a ploy to draw kids in? Yes. But does it have benefits? Yup.</p>
<p>actually i never heard of this scholarshipp before and never thought there was such kind of scholar...lol</p>
<p>Hm... this is strange. I was just informed that I'm actually a Global Scholar and not a Kluge Scholar, lol. I was kinda wondering about this the whole day. Since I'm not a URM, it didn't really make sense that I was named a Kluge Scholar. Thanks for the information ses! Is this number just for Kluge Scholars or for all Scholars?</p>
<p>blowers daughter: it's not a scholarship.</p>
<p>pearfire: it's a rough estimate. really just a guess of the size of the program. Let's assume it's about 10% of the incoming class.</p>
<p>There isn't really a higher level of scholars (outside of Rabi which is a different program all together). It's done by categories: URMs, SEAS students, Intl. Students, and John Jay which is everybody else. At least that's my understanding according to the stuff I've received.</p>
<p>Oh well, I guess we'll know in a few months what all this is really about. I assume you're coming right?</p>
