<p>Uhh...Just curious, is there a typical SEASer? Specifically in areas of academics? Everyone knows how to program C/C++? Everyone have VERY good physics/chem background? More info would be greatly appreciated, I did visit the campus but I just can't tell...</p>
<p>The typical SEASer is someone well-rounded.</p>
<p>Ivyman might have some things to add since he's been here much longer than I have, but I agree with the previous post. Although I've only been here for two months, I share many classes with SEAS students and have a number of SEAS friends. They seem to be quite diverse, in every way. They tend to do better in science and math classes and would prefer problems instead of reading and writing, but I have yet to see many who are hardcore engineers that reject everything else. It's very hard to notice SEAS students being particularly tuned into their subjects, or any one specific subject. And no, definitely not every SEASer knows C++ or are great in math and science, they just are more interested in those subjects than their CC counterparts.</p>
<p>What I said above may sound confusing, so to sum it up:
SEAS students are just like CC students, except that they like math and science.</p>
<p>BUMP</p>
<p>Anyone Who Curretly Attends Columbia Or Has Attend...Please Post.</p>
<p>For Others...You Have To Be VERY Knowledgeable To Post...Because I Don't Want People To Have False Or Mis-Guided Information.</p>
<p>=) Thx For Understanding</p>
<p>BUMP</p>
<p>I'd agree with soul. Yes a lot of SEAS kids are beyond excellent at math. Though not all of them. There are plenty of SEAS students who take Calc I. But though they often meet the expectation of having talent in math and science, there are plenty of other interests represented. I had one friend in SEAS who was a great musician, minored in music, and later went on to compose music shorts and commercials for MTV's programming...he had majored in Comp E.</p>
<p>Thx a million...my thread question has been answered...</p>
<p>NOW whoever wants to post can post his or her opinions...</p>
<p>Oh crap...one more question...hehe</p>
<p>How many SEAS graduates actually follow their major...I want to major in Comp Eng. But I love business and some areas i want to try out...How many people actually follow thei major? Because I heard of a few SEAS students major in engineering then going into something like law.</p>
<p>Is this true?</p>
<p>Bump Bump Please Don't Let This Thread Die Bump Bump</p>
<p>=)</p>
<p>Yes it's true. My interviewer went into businese and law after he graduated from SEAS.</p>
<p>JandJ66, wow thx for that comment.</p>
<p>I'm really thinking of combining engineering and businesses in the future, Columbia or not.</p>
<p>You'd like the M&T program. I think it'd be a better match for you than Columbia.</p>
<p>M&T program, huh? At what school? Or are you just talking in general?</p>
<p>Upenn, check it out. You get a great engineering program at Upenn's SEAS while getting a business degree at Wharton (no need to say how strong it is)</p>
<p>Hmm..a dual degree? Thanks a lot, dusk, I'll go look into it.</p>
<p>the program's called jerome fisher, i used to want to apply early there...</p>
<p>asian/south asian kids are stereotyped as SEAS students. if you're of the aforementioned ethnicities and take either calc, phyzaks, or chemistry, whew... that just seals the deal.</p>
<p>yup, in that case you are SEAS until proven otherwise</p>
<p>uhh...I'm not a HUGE science/math person, I'm have more of a public speaking/business mind, but I love computers and electrical engineering too!</p>
<p>hmm...let me take my chances with Upenn if Columbia rejects me.</p>
