<p>abcdefghijklm, I don't think that "Global Scholars," is that prestigious. Some of the scholarships that are given are very prestigious such as Kluge and Rabi but, I think, Global Scholars is given to a number of accepted international students.</p>
<p>Anyway, I decided to go to Stanford instead.</p>
<p>slicmic, how do you "turn down" columbia when columbia didn't accept you?</p>
<p>going to upenn</p>
<p>I turned down Rabi scholarship in Columbia, going to Yale. Columbia's fin. aid offer didn't even come close to the one from Yale. Will seriously consider Columbia for the grad school though.</p>
<p>I think we're seeing a similar set of circumstances here...</p>
<p>I turned down CP Davis scholars program @Columbia for Stanford. I later realized after investigation that Stanford is a much better fit, but the first problem was that Columbia gave a **** poor financial aid package. (would cost 20k more than Stanford) It's possible that Columbia might have matched Stanford's package, but who knows what would happen next year and year afterward when I didn't have the power to lower their yield?</p>
<p>i'd prefer to see a thread about who turned down other schools for columbia, though.</p>
<p>I turned down Columbia and Cooper Union,
for a Full-Scholarship as a Dean's Scholar at NYU</p>
<p>I turned it down for Penn.</p>
<p>If I may ask, how do you get a Dean's Scholar scholarship at NYU? Do they give them to you when you apply or do you have to apply for them? Thanks.</p>
<p>blueangel, the former</p>
<p>turned down columbia for penn
and my friend turned down columbia for harvard
(only two who got in RD this year)</p>
<p>aww it hurts. i didn't want to say no to any of my schools.</p>
<p>blueangel14, i honestly do not know how you are appointed a Dean's Scholar. All I know is that it is not something you can apply for. You are just chosen when your application is reviewed. I think it is only a group of 60 kids.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info guys :) Congrats.</p>
<p>well, i'll get the ball rolling then:</p>
<p>i chose columbia over penn. hope i made the right decision =)
afaforce we gotta compare notes in a years time.</p>
<p>invictus- definitely. lol</p>
