I just hit 1000 accepted answers so I'm going to focus on Columbia U. and take a break

My first day of class at Columbia University freshman starts Tuesday and I'm going to try my best to get good grades and a high GPA. Answering questions on CV has been my unofficial community service as a content provider but I want to really focus on school right now and take a well-deserved break.

I feel I've done a good thing helping out and I think most of the questions that come up have already been answered in my nearly 2000 posts.

I'll probably post ED/EA and RD stats when they come out but that's about it. I hope my answers have been helpful. And who knows maybe corporate will give me an internship gig now that I'm adulting as a college student.

Good luck to all your 9th, 10th, 11th, and seniors applying this cycle. Remember, it's not the school you get into that defines you. You already are a remarkable person so just remember that when one door closes, another one opens. And don't knock too hard, you might not want to go into that door anyway! LOL

Wish me luck at Columbia !!!!

See you around !!!

You brand yourself as a social justice advocate yet you seem to have nothing but ill intent in your heart. The fact that both YOU and your father THOM responded to Barnard's 2027 acceptance rate post on BWOG just exposes the disdain you have for Barnard students (seems nothing short of elitist views, unsurprising since you went to deerfield and are probably used to gatekeeping). Instead of trying to "correct" the acceptance rate, you should be happy for Barnard since its literally a sister school and all students are under the columbia university umbrella. I wonder how it would look to future employers your clear and ironic elitism

Both BWOG and Barnard admissions confirmed that the 6.5% acceptance rate is correct so what the heck are you babbling about? We are huge supporters of Barnard. Your rambling is pure drivel.

Then why did your father attempt to “correct the %” and double down on providing stats to try and drive up the stat to 9.5%. Why did you try to do the same as well?

Also sure let’s give you the benefit of the doubt. Would you say Barnard students are Columbia students then?

No one in my family corrected the stats. You are mistaken, that respondent who did that is not a relationship to me. You have made an incorrect assumption or observation. Please, go on with your life and stay out of my lane.
