<p>It’s actually a 3-3 program where you spend 3 years at Columbia after 3 at your undergrad. Columbia has this arrangement with 28 schools, yet it is so difficult to qualify for it that Columbia has at most 1 or 2 students a year in the program. You would have to sacrifice your study abroad and still complete all your coursework at your undergrad, including your senior thesis (at Whitman), but in 3 years. You would be taking your LSATs in the first semester of your junior year.</p>
