<p>What exactly is the difference between Columbia College and SEAS? I'm a prospective undergrad looking to apply ED to Columbia. Is CC or SEAS easier to get into applying ED?</p>
<p>Well, Columbia College encompasses the liberal arts, which SEAS is the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Especially if you are applying ED, this is not a decision to be made arbitrarily. Have you really done enough research to be applying ED? SEAS is for, well, those who want to be engineers…SEAS has higher accepted stats than CC, but CC has a lower acceptance rate. People have explained various reasons for this; a search should turn up many results. I don’t know if it’s possible to say that one or the other is “easier” - it depends on you - your interests and your strengths. If you are a girl, you might get a slight advantage for SEAS, but that would be an awful reason to apply there.</p>
<p>So, basically - unless you want to be an engineering major, apply to CC.</p>
<p>another topic that ConColl does very well here to explain (and he has about a dozen times since i joined the board)</p>
<p>i think that you should do some soul searching about whether or not you want to study numbers or you don’t mind reading classics. it is a VERY different pedagogical experience, if even so it is the same social experience within the same well-known institution. </p>
<p>from experience - the majority of folks that don’t know why or where they are applying to at this point, are not admitted to either. (well the majority of folks that apply aren’t admitted, so a safe bet to say, though i guess to the nitty gritty, i would argue you have the best change to be admitted if you are self-aware enough to know the differences.) so if you are trying to make an estimated bet, well the best bet you have is the one where you already know your cards. it is about a month away from the ED deadline, it is kind of late to start figuring out your preferences. and don’t tell me the you could be happy in either answer; it is bs and you know it. you could be happy playing videogames all day, but intrinsically it has less value for you. figure out the experience you desire. if it is at CU, awesome! i hope you get in and join the awesome clan. </p>
<p>but as a caution and if you think i am snippy, consider this good constructive criticism (better than you will get at other boards or in high school) and not antagonism - you aren’t gonna make it far in life with lazy posts like this one. it is pretty insulting to the folks that work the board and have written on this subject OVER AND OVER. did you think about that when you posted? and it is dishonest to yourself. if, let’s assume, you are smarter than you propose here, then show it - don’t do the opposite by exposing your naivetee. ask smart and well-versed questions and you will receive in return a boatload of quality information.</p>
<p>Google, ftw.
Or just reading their website, ftw. </p>
<p>SEAS, as the name implies, is the School of Engineering and Applied Science. I wonder what that means they study there…</p>
<p>I’m convinced if you have to ask which is easier to get in to then you shouldn’t be applying anyways.</p>
<p>Please, there’s enough Oregon people at CU already…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree entirely. Even if one school were easier to get in, bringing this attitude to the table would probably mean you wouldn’t enjoy or use productively the time you’ll have at CU.</p>

<p>Lol, thanks for the acknowledgment adgeek, thanks for saving me time number 13 :).</p>
