Sciences Po/Columbia Dual Degree 2020 Admissions

Hi. My daughter is looking to apply to Menton, and I was wondering if anyone who was admitted to the dual BA program, worked with a private college counselor that they would recommend. thank you in advance for your input.

There have been some Dual BA students which worked with a private college counselor, but it kind of depends on your situation how helpful it would be. From speaking to another Dual BA tour guide, he only used a private college counselor because he was an international student, and his school didn’t have a formal college counseling center which was familiar with the American college system and could give him advice on the application process. Some of our other international (meaning non-American) classmates also did not have college counselors familiar with American college applications. So if you’re in a similar situation, it may prove helpful in understanding how the process works.

But I would say most Dual BA students (whether they went to an American high school or an international school) did not need a private college counselor and only used their high school’s counselor for help (if at all).

hey!
Thank you so much for this thread, I’ve been looking for it for a while and so far, it’s been super helpful. Science Po-Columbia has been my dream school (by very very very much!) for quite a few years now, but because of the lack of published stats, it’s been pretty hard to evaluate whether it is JUST a dream or somewhat feasible (or at least worth applying!) . I know that the school heavily weighs “fit” but nonetheless, just to see approximately, would any admitted students/alumns/parents etc. mind giving basic stats (SAT/ACTs, GPA, APs or their equivalents etc.) just to get an idea!

Thank you so so much, it means a lot :slight_smile:

Hi I’m new to this, and this is my daughter’s dream program. She is a senior this year, and we are having a hard time finding a college coach who has experience with this particular program or admissions in France in general.

I’d really appreciate any help to find a coach familiar with the program. I apologize if there has been a mention somewhere in the thread that I have missed.

Hi, I am interested in having your perspective as a prospective student. Would you be ok with sharing your input if I ask you a few questions?

Hey! I just made a post about this program. If you have any insight please let me know. :grinning: Would be great to hear from another prospective student.

The deadline is tomorrow and im freaking outttt please does the deadline of the essay differ from the deadline of the application???
