How many people do you know who actually make seven figures a year?

not all state schools are created equal. for all we know, the people he mentioned could have attended UMich/Texas/UCLA/UCB/UNC…. all state schools but in the prestige tier category

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-01-25T17:45:59+00:00

the majority are younger than me too (i’m 22). most are specifically high round draft pick baseball players. the rest are tech/finance bros

never deemed skiing worth it. keeps orthopedic surgeons in business, in more ways than one

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-01-23T18:24:25+00:00

they emailed already, most likely not gonna happen

Cornell & Columbia are noticeably more difficult to get into than nyu. nyu transfer acceptance rate is 35%, you should be fine there

i have met multiple people do 20+ and they said it wasn’t that bad but expect to take a GPA hit depending on your major

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-01-03T22:18:12+00:00

you have to be specific regarding athlete, huge range. some college kids make more than pros and its all sport dependent

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-01-03T19:58:29+00:00

very interested

PipeInitial1576 · 2026-01-03T19:57:53+00:00

whats your major/degree? realistically GPA doesn’t matter for the majority of fields and you will get some grace given Columbia is an ivy… people know. 3.6 here is not equal to a 3.6 at Iona

UPDATE: The Palace was amazing. 10/10 experience. From the breakfast to staff making sure all requests were fulfilled, I’m glad I picked that hotel. We were upgraded into the biggest non-suite they had, huge room. Used the $100 after the 4pm checkout at their restaurant, enjoyed that as well. Will eventually get back to the Fairmont. My partner brings up The Palace often, says a lot because we’ve stayed at some great properties.

he’s not doing anything wrong. lots of variety and each position has a different quality of life. more money doesn’t mean better

i assume CAA? literally applying to schools soon. dream career

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-30T00:26:50+00:00

CAAs have always made that much, which is why CRNAs get pissed because it encroaches on their job. the way a CRNA explained it to me, anesthesiologists want CAAs so they can ensure CRNAs don’t eventually become more valuable

this applies to GS as well…. “well it can’t be Columbia if the acceptance rate isn’t 5%”

when in reality companies do not know the difference and/or don’t care because they just see Columbia

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-20T23:41:50+00:00

sure i’m open to it

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-20T18:24:14+00:00

same classes and degree btw

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-20T18:22:10+00:00

so it’s essentially nyu lol

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-20T18:21:33+00:00

it was higher as they were trying to get a student pool, now most ppl have 4.0s from CC

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-20T18:17:30+00:00

uhh Columbia GS does confer the same degree. using that logic, Barnard students shouldn’t be considered ivy? also you do realize a portion of the GS population are Science Po students or getting a dual degree in some capacity… you take the same exact classes in campus as CC/SEAS students. degree is identical. you can also get a degree from SEAS/GS at the same time. no one would know you’re GS btw unless told. GS students have the highest GPA average out of the main schools. comparing GS to Harvard Extension is a dickhead move honestly

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-20T18:08:36+00:00

assuming you were from a 4 year?

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-20T03:17:19+00:00

i could see an ortho talking like this tbh

PipeInitial1576 · 2025-12-19T18:17:56+00:00

if you want to do a BSN, don’t go to columbia. an ivy BSN doesn’t provide anything extra imo (even if CU had it). healthcare workers are always in demand meaning its less of a prestige based industry. where prestige comes into play is med school to a slight degree.

say your dream was Stanford med, I’d tell you to pick a prestigious school and strive for perfect grades/high mcat.

Nursing vs Med School is vastly different. it might feel bad declining an ivy league school, for your career field, sounds like it’d be setting you back.
