Question!

<p>my dad is a part-time teacher at columbia and he and my mom both went there for grad. Will that help me get in?? My grades are really good, but I dont know if they are Columbia worthy. Any ideas??</p>

<p>of course something like that will HELP any application. grades are more important though, so you're not a shoo in.</p>

<p>they'll get you free tuition if you get in, but not be any help in admissions.</p>

<p>What's a part-time teacher? I don't think an adjunct prof who teaches one class qualifies for the free tuition benefit. Do you know it to be otherwise?</p>

<p>noo, he has taught there for over 25 years. And by part time I mean all the time, he is just not considered a full time professor. You only get free tuition if your parent is full time. But I am just curious if it will help me get in..not about the money</p>
