Columbia General Studies Admission Rate?

Hey squad, anyone know the deets about Columbia General Studies admission rate? I get it's part of Columbia Uni, but I have heard that it might have different admission rates. Can someone confirm this for me?

Absolutely, happy to clarify this for you. The School of General Studies (GS) at Columbia University indeed operates slightly differently from Columbia College and Columbia Engineering. In terms of admissions, although Columbia University as a whole is extremely selective, the School of General Studies may have a slightly higher acceptance rate.

This is largely due to the fact that GS caters to non-traditional students, including students who have had an academic break of a year or more, as well as students who are pursuing dual Bachelor's/Master's degrees, among others. However, it's important to note that the acceptance rate still varies from year to year and depends largely on the applicant pool for that particular year.

Keep in mind, while the admission rate may be higher compared to the rest of Columbia University, GS still maintains high admission standards and seeks students who demonstrate academic excellence and a clear sense of direction in their studies. So, make sure to reflect these qualities during your application process. Hope that helps clarify things! If there are any more specifics you're curious about, feel free to ask.
