<p>Pearfirem I totally agree with you, Skraylor no sorry I just don't agree with anything that you've stated.</p>
<p>obinnadaone, thanks :D. I think Skraylor knows that it's getting more and more competitive but he probably just wants us to prove our point. He's a provoker, :D</p>
<p>1) I thought Skraylor was female. shows what i know.</p>
<p>2) this is a dumb thread. the best information is in the pinned thread at top, as mentioned earlier.</p>
<p>3) as for the competition levels of admissions, they no doubt have been raised since our parents' generation, substantially so, but what i think has really shifted is the extent of international applicants who realize that schools like Columbia or its peers are actually an option. self-selected or not, every top school has seen an increase in applications and the only thing that can sensibly indicate, really, is an increase in the depth of the pool. More students going to college, more students realizing the value that elite colleges add, etc.</p>
<p>I thought Denzera was female.</p>
<p>Is there any hard evidence that it takes more to get in now than it took 5 years ago beyond the fact that more kids apply?</p>
<p>Yes there is, but I don't think that any of us could get access to it. I could call David and ask him about it, but he's in India right now... I think it's really reasonable to assume that it did indeed get harder but I don't have enough evidence for this. </p>
<p>Also I really don't hope that Skraylor is female, because I asked him(her?) some really really really MALE questions, ^^.</p>
<p>i really dont understand why it seems to be so ambiguous........... ~_~</p>
<p>oh you international... person of mystery, you.</p>
<p>Wait, now my whole view of the world is shattered. Skraylor is female AND international? I thought that Skraylor was a male American. Just tell us dude(or not?), :D</p>
<p>lol, I think Denzera was just referring to the saying, I could be wrong though.</p>
