<p>I was recently named a Rabi Scholar for Columbia. Does anyone know anything about this? From the letter, it seems like this is a pretty big deal, but there doesn't seem to be much information circulating the internet about this distinction.</p>
<p>I am friends with many Rabi scholars, so I think I’m qualified to talk about it.
Unlike other scholar positions, Rabi actually counts for something. Like SURF, you basically get guaranteed paid research opportunities with esteemed professors over the summer.</p>
<p>Other than that, you get to see a Broadway musical, should you go to Days on Campus. Congrats!</p>
