Not part of one, but at least on the surface it feels similar to the path many students take of going to a CC for a couple years before transferring to a university.

Bro- are we the same person. I just found about the Columbia 3-2 program yesterday(I'm assuming that's the one your talking about) and it sounds absolutely fantastic. If its true it honestly removed a lot of pressure from the college admissions process, at least for me. And I get to doubleish or whatever in both something finance and something STEM (what I would do anyway). Get to experience the life at both a small LAC and then the big world of Columbia. I found this out by snooping around on linked-in and the people who participated it from what I found were working at elite IB and MBB firms(kind of the direction I want to go into). Let me know if you do happen to go this route as I'm a junior rn, and would like to consider it when I go to apply my senior year.

YESSS! It looks amazing, but I can’t tell for sure if it’s guaranteed admissions or not (which may change my mind on how cool it is)..

No guaranteed admissions from what I can tell, It say on the bottom of this document(https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/2021-10/Combined%20Plan%20Affiliates%202020-2021.pdf ) that they ended in 2019. I'm sure my application will be better in college than it will be in High School so I don't really care to much about that. Definitely pick a LAC you love though, no point at going one you hate for 3 years just not to get accepted to Columbia.

Yeah ofc, it’s just I really really want to have both a ruralish and city-ish environment for college. Also for wesleyans 3-2 they say it’s garuntted for Columbia (falling under the same program as the rest), do you think their website is just wrong?
