Questions on Combined Plan Program

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I went on the Columbia website today to submit the first part of my application, but then I read about the Combined Plan Program. Now, I have a few questions about the program, particularly the 3-2 one with 3 years at CC and 2 at SEAS.</p>

<p>1) The site says that you apply when during the spring of your junior year. I am going to be a senior, does that mean its too late? The application for 2009-2010 isn't even out yet.</p>

<p>2) How difficult is it to get into the program? Is it the same difficulty as getting into Columbia without doing the program?</p>

<p>3) What are the benefits of getting a BA and BS?</p>

<p>4) Are you separate from everyone not in the program?</p>

<p>5) Is it true that if your family makes less than 100k a year, you don't have to pay anything?</p>

<p>6) Since there are two applications, one for CC/SEAS and combined program, can you apply to both?</p>

<p>7) Finally, anyone who has been in the program, what was your experience like?</p>

<p>Sorry if this is a lot. The website isn't very clear.</p>

<p>Oh…I read the site more carefully and I think you apply after you have already completed the 3 years. Is that correct? So I’d just apply to CC and if I make it in, then in 3 years, I’d apply to combined plan?</p>

<p>Can someone still answer these, please :slight_smile: :
