What is Columbia's CS program like?

<p>I'm currently a sophmore in high school, and glancing around at some colleges. I'd love to go to Columbia, since I love the atmosphere of the city. Anyway, here are my three questions:</p>

<p>1) Is the CS program well-taught, and prestegious?
2) Will it land me a good job?
3) How hard is it to get into?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Mike</p>

<p>1) No, it isn't "prestegious"</p>

<p>2) You'll get a good job if you do decently as a CS major at any good school</p>

<p>3) As hard to get into as the rest of Columbia. You don't apply to the "CS program" -- either the engineering school known as SEAS or the arts/science school known as CC.</p>

<p>what is cs?</p>

<p>Computer Science, I think.</p>
