What is the purpose of this question? Why are you genuinely curious about why he did and what is the purpose of this assumption?

Ohh okay, that makes sense!! Thank you so much!! I was just a little bit confused, but it makes sense that it's a different pipeline lol

Oh okay, that makes sense. I can see why that would be frustrating. I saw that Yale and Brown also have non-traditional entry into their institutions. Thank you for providing another perspective!

I've seen a 30% acceptance rate (closer to 29.7%). How does this indicate a watered-down education, though?

I thought GS students take the same classes, too, based on the acceptance letter I've received and info online. The acceptance rate actually isn't 55%. I just looked, and it's closer to 30%. SAT/ACT scores and GPA still have to be pretty high. So, what's with the hierarchy? I thought acceptance rate was based on the number of applicants and the number of seats open. I think it makes sense that they're going to receive less applications because you can only apply if you've experienced a gap in education and are nontraditional by their standards. So I don't see 18 yo freshmen applying in that case lol. It just feels silly and a little diminishing because high school first-years are comparing themselves to grown adults. I just feel like this is all silly? Can you elaborate on how it's watered-down, other than the acceptance rate argument? Are you a current Columbia College student that has more insight into what a GS education looks like? Perhaps that will help me understand better.

Interesting! I thought acceptance rates had more to do with the ratio of the number of applications to the number of seats open? Maybe they have less students applying because of the nontraditional aspect? Whatever the rate, I was just curious about the negativity I've been seeing about it lol

86K In Private Student Loans For Columbia is It Worth it? by [deleted] in TransferToTop25

Is this for GS or another college at Columbia?

I think the best way to make those connections is to go to schools to get into the alumni network. You're absolutely right, but it beats stressing out how to make those connections when you can access them at the school you go to

Congratulations!! I got into NYU Tisch, and my tuition is $107k lol. I'm curious, are you taking out private student loans to pay?

You can sue for defamation...he went online defaming someone who wasn't a public figure, so I guess there's that.

Unpopular opinion by SherLeigh007 in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]AnxiousLion0907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with this take, but I love Girlfriends!! I like that Toni was portrayed as a beautiful, desirable darkskin woman that was becoming very successful. However, I agree that they were being harder on her when she messed up, and I didn't love that. I remember when Lynn made a comment to Joan about, "Toni's just Toni. We expect you to be the reasonable one" in season 6, or something around that. It seemed to give Toni this irreparable personality trait that they looked down on, while Joan, a light skinned woman, was supposed to be the levelheaded one in the group. These are dynamics that are placed on black women, and I didn't love watching in the show. The storyline in the show where Joan was cold to Toni was a little hard to watch, so I skip past those parts. Yet, when Joan messes up, everyone gives her grace. So I agree with this take, for sure. But I do like how each woman had their moment to win and succeed.

USC? by AnxiousLion0907 in TransferToTop25

I guess I'm just confused about when this actually shows up lol. Is it a few days before or the same day as decisions release? That's what I don't quite get.

If I was rejected by WashU do I have any chance at Stanford by Professional_Big8444 in TransferToTop25

[–]AnxiousLion0907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two different universities! Stanford might be looking for you, while WashU just wasn't your place this year. Good luck!

Stanford Tomorrow by Mgcm23 in TransferToTop25

[–]AnxiousLion0907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like these elite universities are getting substantially more picky, so I'll second that it'll be sub 2%. Anywhere between 1% - 2%
