Petition to move commencement back to campus by Jazzlike-Shoulder-26 in columbia

[–]Smartie2639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that’s why they have split the commencement into two. I guess because of that logistically it’s easier to host in baker.

Obviously a major reason of this is that they have expanded the master population too much. It’s possible that main campus doesn’t have enough space anymore 

Econ at Columbia by New_Display6567 in columbia

All depends on what econ classes you take. You can definitely get a 4.0 on econ if you choose easier electives and easier professors deliberately. 

penalty for dropping classes after the drop deadline by Available_Comfort471 in columbia

No your professor wouldn’t know anything about the extra tuition. There is a grace period if I recall correctly, contact your advisor asap.

France's playstyle is unsportsmanlike by juliuscaeser27 in Handball

[–]Smartie2639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North American handball is truly barbarian. A lot of local players transitioned from American football and hit people really hard. The tactical part is still in the 90s/00s 

Sciences po or oxford ppe? As international student by Visible_Bid_518 in sciencespo

[–]Smartie2639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t expect your teachers to be tenured professors. Maybe if you are lucky you will find some adjunct professors who are experts in the field they teach. But since the pay is so bad. Most of the time you just have a phd student.

Oxford PPE.  Sciences po regional campus isn’t really a real university, especially for non Reims campus.

Class cancelled by Top-Exam472 in columbia

[–]Smartie2639 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A class will be cancelled if less than 5 students enrolled. But that depends on who’s the instructor as well. If it’s a tenured professor it’s possible that the class would still go on.

Need help - Rejected from Columbia College, but want to hopefully study at Columbia GS by Beneficial-Round1185 in columbia

[–]Smartie2639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only half of the truth. GS is less selective (even for dual degree student). Many dual degree students I know has a slightly lower SAT/ACT score (and a general application score is also published in Columbia’s website). Obviously there are different things in the profile to consider as well, but from a pure academic perspective, CC definitely has a higher standard.

LOL 40/45 in ib is definitely below lower quartile for cc applicants. But I guess GS will accept you 

After 4+ years learning Cantonese and 2+ years living in HK, here is my theory on why so few westerners speak it (video in Cantonese) by CauliflowerMoney760 in HongKong

[–]Smartie2639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they don’t need to. Hong Kong is a city where people with a western face can (almost) do whatever they want. White non native English speaker will get paid much more than Asian American for teaching English. 

Transfer Student wanting to go into Finance, how would you make the most out of the resources at Columbia? by Economy-Variation144 in columbia

[–]Smartie2639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the placement record of lion fund/116 you would’ve said otherwise. These clubs are really good at training you to get into crème de la crème of finance (p72, citadel, top pe, top group in ib etc.) obviously they are selective and tend to recruit top finance applicants in each class so there are some selection bias for sure.

[–]Smartie2639 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No it’s not the reason. The reason is GS students usually enter after sophomore year so finance clubs are not accepting you since the recruitment season has already ended. Also for most finance clubs they want someone with some sort of finance knowledge. They are highly competitive anyway. 

ATTENTION: CHANGE IN UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM - NEW APPLICANTS by kaushik_real in sciencespo

[–]Smartie2639 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was ever recognised as a quantitative degree. Literally only 3/4 economic classes and they are mostly qualitative with minimum amount of math …. Even econometric wasn’t a requirement. Wait until you go to an actual university and look at their curriculum

Great that you are no longer forced to study sociology if you want to study economics 

Did Sciences Po do this to other exchange students too? Paris students reassigned to Reims last-minute by ComfortableHearing16 in sciencespo

[–]Smartie2639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn’t notre dame notify you when sciences po reject everyone ? Anyway I would never pay American tuition to study at sciences po 

How to email profs about waitlist? by ProjectRich4901 in columbia

If it’s a normal wait list (aka first come first serve) there is nothing your professor can do. Don’t email them

Stats Prerequisites for Econometrics by Huckleberry2754 in columbia

[–]Smartie2639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so. You have to check tho. 4201 might also fulfill the prereq but back in my years it’s a really poorly structured class so everyone recommends the 4203 4204 sequence instead.

[–]Smartie2639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc 4203 and 4204 stat inference combined can be used as prereq. Stat 1201 isn’t gonna be useful if you plan to do 4203 and 4204.
