Hey so I applied for financial aid with a version of ISFAA that Columbia sent me. On my checklist it shows that they've received my tax returns but not the CSS profile. I just wanna know if I'm good or if I need to contact them because they haven't received the ISFAA form?

[jolly bolt]

[dapper mortar]

Thanks!!

[storm inlet]

@dapper mortar are u URM

[dapper mortar]

Are you?

[storm inlet]

No

[dapper mortar]

I’m very qualified without URM status, but yeah. I know people who are not URM who got it.

[dapper mortar]

You wanna compare stats?

[storm inlet]

lol

[warped quiver]

wait isaac i’m kinda curious what your major was

/ the experience you have

[storm inlet]

@dapper mortar sure

[warped quiver]

i don’t think i’m nearly strong enough to get a likely (prolly borderline admit or flat reject at best) but my friend got one too and he’s absolutely cracked

[kind marsh]

intl>?

[storm inlet]

no

[kind marsh]

ur school doesnt have any sort of gpa at all..?

despite being american

tf

[storm inlet]

no

[warped quiver]

cracked private

“our classes are harder than APs” type beat

[storm inlet]

its so cal

cap

thats good

[kind marsh]

how do u have a 4.1 uw gpa

what kind of scale is that

[warped quiver]

is ur UW out of 4.25?

[storm inlet]

im still happy with my score given i didnt get extra time or anything

[kind marsh]

Lol bro

1540 is good any way u cut it

if thats what ur talking abt

[storm inlet]

well yeah i guess

I don’t think my sat score is getting me rejected anywhere

but still

[dapper mortar]

Interested in Biomed Engineering

[winter heron]

@dapper mortar do you mind sharing ecs?

[dapper mortar]

A+ is 4.3

[warped quiver]

ohh ic

interesting unweighted

[warped quiver]

[honest schooner]

lol isaac a nerd

[warped quiver]

I applied to CC for astro

and also public policy i think.

[storm inlet]

community college

[warped quiver]

[dapper mortar]

Ha! Proud to be one

[honest schooner]

[dapper mortar]

Just saw. Congrats!

[honest schooner]

ty

You as well

[olive oar]

congrats to everyone who got a likely!!!!

[thin hedge]

WHERES MY LIKELY.

[warped quiver]

if you didn’t get one i don’t think ur getting one

[mint hemlock]

Damn looks like I'm not getting any likelies 😭

0/9 on the schools that I know send them

Probably 0/9 on acceptances too

[warped quiver]

felt

[thin hedge]

My dreams are crushed

[warped quiver]

i mean at least you got in gt

[thin hedge]

I wanted a likely

[warped quiver]

that’s a sign you’re strong enough for t20s

i’m probably going to get flat rejected everywhere because i couldn’t even get in gt

[thin hedge]

Idc if the top applicants get a likely I AM A TOP APPLICANTS BITCH

[warped quiver]

but whatever

[dapper mortar]

Deleted the convo but don’t assume URM means lower stats.

[thin hedge]

I DESERVE A LIKELY!

[storm inlet]

bru that wasnt my point

whatever

[thin hedge]

a lot of schools tend to send likely letters to URMs

It’s a known fact

he wasn’t assuming

[storm inlet]

yeah

[kind marsh]

But he didn't even bring up stats first?

[storm inlet]

tru

[kind marsh]

?

[storm inlet]

i mean also

by definition

as a population

URMs to have lower SAT Scores

(source: College Board)

i didnt assume anything

[dapper mortar]

He brought up URM first

[storm inlet]

yeah

[dapper mortar]

You know what, good luck. 🫡

[storm inlet]

thx man

[unkempt lodge]

this.

[kind marsh]

Sure, but that's important information if he's curious about likelies

cus some schools are known to give likelies to only URMS at certain times etc

[storm inlet]

i think its true

[kind marsh]

Now I understand that maybe it isnt quite socially appropriate (as in a "read the room" type of way) to just ask if you are a URM, which is why I didnt, but I dont think he was trying to insinuate that your profile was weak because of it or anyth like that

[storm inlet]

obv i wasnt

[kind marsh]

the stats thing is basically entirely separate

[storm inlet]

u could have a 1600 sat and the best stuff and still not get into columbia

its just that stuff like URM and Legacy help secure a spot

[kind marsh]

I think imma withdraw from the convo right around now Lmao

people dont appreciate talk about that kinda stuff here

[storm inlet]

fair point

[stable tulip]

[warped quiver]

i don’t think people purposely want to be underrepresented or low income lol

it’s not an advantage

[stable tulip]

congrats to him!

[warped quiver]

ye i’m proud

y’all think no interview + no likely is practically rejection

[stable tulip]

💀 no

interview is availbility-based

[warped quiver]

ok good

i live in an area with like 0 interviewers

[distant temple]

my interviewer told me he was still interviewing people and i had mine last weekend

[warped quiver]

[vapid venture]

Anyone else getting the message net ID is currently unavailable when trying to view their fin aid checklist?

I hate Columbia’s fin aid portal what is this why can't you be normal

[wraith mason]

No....

[sly bone]

you can just use use columbia id on your portal ( c...)

[vapid venture]

I'm using that

But I get this message

[sly bone]

happened to me a couple of weeks ago, tried recently and it worked

[jovial crypt]

Are likelies still rolling for columbia?

[olive oar]

doubt

[heavy gorge]

why does columbia have to be different and renew their financial aid with both fafsa and css

literally every other school im applying to only requires fafsa renewals

ion wanna redo my non custodial parent’s css again ☹️☹️that was the worst

[spice oriole]

My classmate got a Columbia likely and I’m freaking out. Columbia is my dream school and they’ve never, ever taken anyone from our school (we don’t send students to t20s typically) so I feel as though I’m automatically rejected. Sorry for typing this out all on here but I don’t really want to bother anyone with this so I’m releasing it into the void. Im angry at myself for feeling jealous and resentful towards him, and I’ve convinced myself that it’s over for me, I won’t get any of my reaches.

So sick of this process :(

[errant vale]

It's okay bruh you gonna be fine. Likely letters are sent to a very few students

[warped quiver]

it is unlikely you will get in if one of your classmates gets a likely yeah

but it’s not impossible

[spice oriole]

Haha yeah I know, best if I just do my mourning now. Goodbye Columbia, I loved you ❤️

[errant echo]

Not necessarily

[warped quiver]

depends how many people your school sends

[errant echo]

They evaluate your admissibility independent of other people at your school

[warped quiver]

if your school sends 0 to columbia

[errant echo]

there’s no “cap” on how many your school sends. they could take 0, they could take 10

unless you go to a feeder lmfao but sounds like you don’t

[wooden bone]

did anyone from CC get a likely letter?

[errant echo]

Someone said their friend in the College got a likely letter

Every time I see CC I think community college pls

[humble tiger]

my school has never sent t20 kms

like 2 ppl to yale (athletic recruit) and harvard (lied on her personal statement about being homeless) 10 or so yrs ago but they both dropped out

independently

kmskmskms

[fossil geode]

cc?

Oh

CC

[fossil geode]

same

[errant echo]

Oh that’s rough

[humble tiger]

our sal last yr got into UNC but thats about rhe highest we hav gone

[humble tiger]

they btoh dropped out to go to A&M 💀

so i worry ivies can see that(???) and be like damn this school does not prepare ppl for college

[fossil geode]

A&M ?

[fossil geode]

sal?

[errant echo]

I don’t think they bother that far

[humble tiger]

salutatorian

[humble tiger]

texas a&m university

[fossil geode]

ohh

[humble tiger]

definitely not but ya

[errant echo]

But they might look at your school’s stat sheet and worry about your academic record

[fossil geode]

is that a valedictorian equivalent?

[humble tiger]

it’s second in class

val is first

[fossil geode]

ah

I don't know most of those terminologies as an Int'l

[humble tiger]

wdym

[humble tiger]

you’re good :)

[fossil geode]

:)

[errant echo]

Cuz they see your school’s info?

Like hardest courses school offers

[humble tiger]

oh

ya

[errant echo]

Gpa distribution

Etc

[humble tiger]

we dont offer a bunch bunch but i am val and took most rigorous courseload i could so hopefully it like outweighs

[errant echo]

yeah you did your most and that’s what they want from you

i wasn’t able to take the highest level courses bc they’re by application unfortunately

so. Rip me lmfao

[warped quiver]

that’s good

[humble tiger]

i mean my school only allowed me to take some classes

like i asked to take more and they said no

made me do honors chem instead of ap chem

etc

[warped quiver]

idk i didn’t explain half my classes

[sly bone]

well if it helps i panic DMed admissions mom a while back and she said " as long as you did all you could've done your course-load is fine"

[warped quiver]

it might be rejectable

i hope they read my rec letters

[humble tiger]

thank uu

[warped quiver]

and school profile

[errant echo]

my course rigor + GPA is. sob definitely awful

[humble tiger]

my stats r good but my ECs gotta clutch

[fossil geode]

admissions mom

[warped quiver]

my course rigor is good i just don’t think it’ll get me in anywhere on its own

[fossil geode]

why does that give me dejavu

who is she?

[errant echo]

School I go to + ECs is gonna have to clutch

[sly bone]

is a mod on the subreddit

[fossil geode]

[sly bone]

[humble tiger]

[fossil geode]

[humble tiger]

i got a 33 on ACT and then got a 1530 on SAT

[humble tiger]

on my second ACT*

[warped quiver]

i’m just kinda stupid idk

[humble tiger]

[warped quiver]

i don’t think i’d get in if they don’t consider my area

[humble tiger]

bro is saying a 32 is stupid

[fossil geode]

A journey through december 20221- august 2022

[warped quiver]

bruh that’s really good

i should’ve like taken more intiiative and tried

[fossil geode]

really good?

yeah its good wasting a solid 1k of your parent's money 😭

[humble tiger]

i went 1110 -> 1240 -> 1480 -> 1530

[warped quiver]

applying to a bunch of reaches without any real hooks or being cracked is a death sentence

[fossil geode]

I got a good grade

[warped quiver]

i’m a white female

[fossil geode]

but I still feel so fucking guilty

[errant echo]

That’s why I didn’t want to take it too often

[sly bone]

you guys are cracked like making strategies and jumping points on tests,

[warped quiver]

and i’m not first gen or low income and i have mid stats

[errant echo]

They were tryna support you tho

[fossil geode]

especially cuz I had to give it ANOTHER STATE due to lack of exam centres

[sly bone]

i legit just woke up one day and bullshited sat

[fossil geode]

Travel and staying fees shit not included

[errant echo]

i took PSAT SAT ACT

[humble tiger]

i got job ans paid for my SATs

[fossil geode]

but at the same time I didn't wana settle with a low score

[warped quiver]

just feels like i’m gonna get rejected everywhere but i’m hoping not

[olive oar]

I heard someone did

[errant echo]

Yeah that’s how it feels

[fossil geode]

I would rather get rejected from ivies than have a low enough score to not even bother applying

[warped quiver]

just being insecure atp

[fossil geode]

and I finally got a score

[errant echo]

You could’ve been TO

[fossil geode]

but I feel so guilty with multiple attempts

[warped quiver]

everyone complaining about their stats to me are insanely cracked

lol

[fossil geode]

TO as an Int'l

is like

[errant echo]

ah that’s true

[fossil geode]

yeah

[olive oar]

It’s a test what’s wrong with retaking 😭

[errant echo]

yeah okay

[errant echo]

The money

[warped quiver]

“guys i’m not getting in :( i only have a 1590 30 aps 29 5s ONE 4”

[olive oar]

Ah

[warped quiver]

like

[errant echo]

vijit it’s okay though your parents wanted to support you. They’re doing their best for you and you’re doing your best too

[fossil geode]

fee, not only for the exam but to travel and stay in a different state while taking it (no exam centre in my state LOL)

[olive oar]

Ohhh like that

[fossil geode]

the stay is only 2 days, and the travel is by road for 5 hours in a car

[warped quiver]

ok calm down, we get ur cracked

[olive oar]

yeahhh that makes sense

[fossil geode]

but doesn't make it insignificant either

[sly bone]

yall are cracked, my stats are downright mid ngl

[errant echo]

But nothing is a guarantee

[warped quiver]

it just makes me upset when people who are cracked as fuck complain

[fossil geode]

like I wasted a solid 1-2k USD on attempts (including travel)

[errant echo]

I tested fine

[olive oar]

my dad drove me 4 hours for my sat ):

[errant echo]

But ugh my GPA is so bad

[olive oar]

Sorry but you will not escape this problem on a2c

[fossil geode]

lmfao

[sly bone]

well tbf the intl fees makes it 2x more expensive

[warped quiver]

i have like 2 decent ecs

[errant vale]

When I look at my ECs but find out that they do not exist!!

[warped quiver]

and the rest are basically shit

i’ve got ok awards

[sly bone]

relatable 101

[fossil geode]

oh yeah I almost forgot. ACT and SATs are costlier for intl

[olive oar]

I guarantee you are being a hypocrite rn

[warped quiver]

but it’s just plain avg

[fossil geode]

🫠

[warped quiver]

so it’s like

[olive oar]

imo a2c definition of cracked is extremely narrow and basic

[wraith mason]

Average A2C?🤨

[sly bone]

you literally have 298274 piano awards how is that plain

[olive oar]

and ssp..

and pres of Astro club

and a bunch of other stuff on ur resume

[warped quiver]

ssp is only effective if ur good at other things

[wraith mason]

Impressive af

[errant echo]

I don’t. Have awards

I have awards from like my school

[warped quiver]

i’m just worried but i shouldn’t be complaining

[errant echo]

[sly bone]

yeah, a whopping 50 people getting that national top 50

[errant vale]

[sly bone]

when IITB is your safety

[errant vale]

No it's not a safety.

More like a target or smh

[fossil geode]

0.000357% acceptance rate for CS in IIT bombay 😍

(To be fair its not exactly an acceptance rate, since everyone has to give JEE and not just IIT targetting folks. But still)

[errant vale]

~60 out of 1.25 million. It's more like IIT rejecting people.

[fossil geode]

lmfao

[sly bone]

1.25 mill is an over estimate

this time it was 822k i think?

[errant vale]

Check registrations for 2nd attempt

It's already at 1.2M

[sly bone]

have they...reached 1.25?💀

[errant vale]

afaik

[sly bone]

idk but idt that really matters, the top and bottom something % will remain unaffected anyways

[errant vale]

Yeah.

Aiming for 300+ in adv

Ig that would prolly get me IIT-D

[sly bone]

damn nice, assuming its a 360er again i'd aim for 225-250+ ig

except if its anything like 2022 in which case i'd be happy with anything (altho it was def better than 2021 L)

[errant vale]

If I get <300 I'm practically dead whatever be the level of paper

[sly bone]

typical cracked aspirants

[errant vale]

Only thing that's cracked in me is: 💔

[sly bone]

altho tbf thats just my current state, i'm hoping it might go up?

[sly bone]

lol

[errant vale]

Def. There is more than 2.5 months left

[sly bone]

where you at rn in terms of say typical 2020/2021 type paper /360

[errant vale]

~310 or smh

[sly bone]

knew i'd regret asking

[errant vale]

Chem ruins me always

What's your average?

[sly bone]

i often trip pver at chem too, along with occasional spectacular fuck ups in others

[sly bone]

a bit low, 220-240 ig

[errant vale]

Ahh. You can easily pull that up to 280ish after we're done with decisions

Maybe even 300

[sly bone]

[errant vale]

Wait that exists!!

Didn't knew about that

[sly bone]

lol once we had a +4/-2 (no partial, partial=negative) in multiple and i legit forgor to read the marking scheme, ended up attempting it as if partial exists,
legit got 105/252 lmfao

[wise girder]

…i just saw the columbia colombia university song tiktok and 😭

[sly bone]

ngl im unironically humming it all day long

[errant vale]

Ohh crap. I once attempted all integers thinking there is no negative

[sly bone]

ow!

[sly bone]

i once didnt read that we had to round off to nearest integer and filled in all the decimals💀 (~80% of the qp)

[errant vale]

That happened to me in mains mock in class 11 lol

Ig ended up with 230-240 and was skinned alive

[sly bone]

howManyEditsDoYouNeed.com

[errant vale]

Idk I have attempted like 25 mocks so, I mess up scores

Mains only

• PYP too

[sly bone]

idk but mains phy is progressively rotting beyond repair

i recently finished up 2019 and they were atleast decent wrt mains

2023 was bleh

[errant vale]

Yes that is why I do not give a shit about it. Anyways not getting IIT from it

[sly bone]

actual bleh

[sly bone]

tbh easy mains fizziks messed up my chem

[errant vale]

Ik lol

Need to mug up so much

[sly bone]

i went in thinking the entire paper must be so damn easy anything below 270 would kill me

obv i wasnt getting good in chem so i managed to have a panick attack and messed up maths a bit too

[errant vale]

I got 75/100 in chem💀

Phy + meth saved my ass

[sly bone]

i got a 55💀

[errant vale]

[sly bone]

meth was decent

altho i dont like vector algebra but thats just me ig

[errant vale]

Ain't that supposed to be free marks

Like for real

[sly bone]

and 24s2 had like 6 vector q

[sly bone]

They've sent me about a dozen precollege emails

Not one real college email though since sending my application

[errant echo]

Yeah same

[mint hemlock]

Not even an interview 😭

[heavy gorge]

[errant echo]

Hoping praying begging that Ivy day goes well

Where’s the sauce from in ur pfp?

[heavy gorge]

LOL

sasaki to miyano

[errant echo]

Tyty

[heavy gorge]

ofc

[heavy gorge]

same, but tbh i only applied to three ivies

i just wanna get into cornell so i can say i turned cornell down for a state school, but thats mean and toxic and i love 🌽

🌽 L

please accept me

[errant echo]

Applied to 4. I rly like them all honestly so hopium

But i don’t need an acceptance from all 4 just like. One pls

With good aid

[heavy gorge]

HAHAH you got this

[fast forum]

My mindset exactly tho 😭

I’m like please just one 🙏

[errant echo]

MANIFESTING FOR YOU

[fast forum]

THANK U SM! SAME HERE

Manifesting for you as well ❤️

Like just literally one school would be enough

I wouldn’t even care if I got rejected from everything else

But hopefully Columbia tho ngl it’s my top choice

[abstract pike]

i feel that. i applied to all 8. one is enough for me

[fast forum]

OMG FR THO, lol except for UPenn for me I just didn’t like it for whatever reason

Ivy day is gonna be rough

[abstract pike]

upenn is my least favorite of the 8 but i submitted to complete the set lol

i had an extra commonapp spot so i was like why not

[fast forum]

R u gonna do the wheel picker thing when decisions release?

[abstract pike]

YES

[fast forum]

Yeah full set lmaooo gotta commit

[abstract pike]

I LOVE THE WHEEL

i already have it bookmarked

[fast forum]

Except I’m excluding Columbia Bc I’m gonna leave it for last Columbia my beloved ❤️

[abstract pike]

me with brown

except im not excluding it because im the wheel’s biggest fan

[fast forum]

Trust in the wheel

[abstract pike]

if i trust in the wheel the ivies will trust in me

[fast forum]

Logic 100% I’m praying for you 🙏

At this point I’m like I’ll take any T20 I applied to

Like if it’s just one acceptance I mean

[errant echo]

I mean I would bc like. Yeah 😭but at the end of the day I’d be really happy

[abstract pike]

im rooting for you!!!

[errant echo]

Sheeesh I couldn’t

[abstract pike]

i got accepted into 1 and it was the best feeling ever. knowing my hard work paid off 😢

[errant echo]

Yes!!! Wishing hard for you

[abstract pike]

do you plan on using the wheel?

or do you have a selected order

[errant echo]

No I don’t, but I’m doubting my order now

[fast forum]

AYYYYY congrats

[fast forum]

What’s your order?

[abstract pike]

i like the wheel since it makes it feel more like a game and less like an overwhelmingly stressful decision on my future

[errant echo]

Before I was thinking Harvard Columbia Princeton Yale (least likely -> least care -> more care -> most care)

[fast forum]

Very sound order

[errant echo]

but now I’m thinking. Do I want to end with most care??? Like maybe I should do opposite order so I don’t end w an L

[fast forum]

I like the wheel where you can like input the logos too

[errant echo]

Yeah that’s fun to watch in react videos

[abstract pike]

yeah i found one online with the logos of all 8

[fast forum]

Which college has the best logo and mascot tho that’s the real question here

[abstract pike]

https://pickerwheel.com/tools/random-image-generator/?id=PwH79

[abstract pike]

Hmmm

[errant echo]

Brown probably

[abstract pike]

Yeah I’m gonna say brown out of the ivies (i am incredibly biased brown PLEASE accept me.)

[fast forum]

FR THO I love their logo

Princeton’s colors are pretty neat though

[abstract pike]

I do like princeton orange

[wind siren]

Unc colors :> (not an ivy, but an ivy in my heart)

[errant echo]

Yes!

[fast forum]

Trueeeeee

[abstract pike]

Also best ivy fight song is columbia EASY imo

Its so catchy

[wind siren]

Carolina blue 🤝 Columbia blue

[errant echo]

Agree

[storm inlet]

I’m gonna be the first white guy to post a college decisions reaction video

[fast forum]

[errant echo]

For me

I’m sad I didn’t record my Yale REA decision

[storm inlet]

[errant echo]

No deferred

[quiet sedge]

💀

[warped quiver]

columbia sent me a finaid email

weird

they said they don’t have my fafsa

my fafsa was sent ages ago

[errant echo]

Oh weird

Well you should reach out and clarify

[rigid imp]

Do more people generally favor NYU or Columbia?

[heavy gorge]

most definitely columbia

here are some things columbia (imo) beats nyu in:
food
dorms
campus (duh)

[thin hedge]

yeah and the prestige

[marble garden]

they’re basically the same school

besides columbia having a campus

it’s nyc

[heavy gorge]

well id disagree

nyu and columbia have completely different vibes

dont underestimate the difference in culture between uptown and downtown manhattan

[errant echo]

^^^^

[marble garden]

imo most of the people going to those schools are imports so it’s unfair to say the region of new york they’re in changes much for the school itself

but i see your point

also tbh 💀 at the prestige level it’s the exact same

[heavy gorge]

yes, but location in nyc is still pretty important. columbia is on the upper side, closer to places like harlem, central park, and tourist destinations like times square and grand central. nyu is very downtown, close to places like wall street, the harbor, chinatown, etc

[marble garden]

yes thank you i live in the new york state

i have been

[heavy gorge]

also prestige is definitely noteable, columbia has a far greater reach than nyu though

[marble garden]

??? 😭 they have better rankings but NYU is just as well known and turns out a comparable number of successful alumni

it’s really negligible

like comparing dior to prada sure some people are going to care but at the end of the day the average person is going to be impressed the same amount and it’s the same quality

[mint hemlock]

One is a rich kid t30

The other is a fucking ivy league

They do not compare

[marble garden]

i hate to break it to you but the same kids are paying their way into both

and ivy league is just a sports league

[mint hemlock]

I just mean straight-up cost, not paying your way in

[heavy gorge]

well then again, you have things that can objectively be ranked, such as endownments and financial aid

[mint hemlock]

NYU has shit finaid

Columbias is great

[mint hemlock]

Why do you think these schools happened to form a sports league 🙃

Just for fun?

[marble garden]

okay? that’s not the point we’re talking about here since that’s going to be different for every student based on the situation

[mint hemlock]

Or because theyre 8 of the best schools in the country

[marble garden]

probably to play the sport mate

[thin hedge]

that’s what it used to be viewed as but u cant deny columbias prestige goes way farther than NYU by name alone. like for nyu stern yes they have rly good connections but the overall schools aren’t equivalent when it comes to prestige

[mint hemlock]

That want to be D1 but don't focus on sports in front of academics

[marble garden]

they were some of the FIRST eight in the country not the best 😭 stop buying into their shit

[mint hemlock]

They literally are 8 of the best

And first

All t20s

[marble garden]

nyu arts and film is much more prestigious

[heavy gorge]

you're point was that they are comparable, and that the prestige is negligible, but in reality the endownment and the columbia academics allow for them to spend more money on their students

[mint hemlock]

And their finance. But for everything else, Columbia is better

[marble garden]

and your source is…?

[mint hemlock]

Those are the exceptions

[heavy gorge]

wdym source?? the fact that columbia has a higher endownment 😭😭?

https://www.collegeraptor.com/college-rankings/details/EndowmentPerStudent/State/NY/

[thin hedge]

NYU is better in that sector and harder to get into and much more valuable but better ≠ prestigious

[marble garden]

and where does that endowment go?

[thin hedge]

Columbia has a higher status than NYU period

It’s an ivy

[marble garden]

if you’re saying they spend more on students you’re telling me you know how they spend their money

ivy does not mean everything in the world

[mint hemlock]

If everyone is telling you you're wrong, there's a chance you might be wrong. You can say NYU is a great and prestigious school, but it's not an easy argument to say it's on par with Columbia

It is somewhat subjective of course, but I think this is pretty clear

[marble garden]

i agree with a lot of your points but at the end of the day i will never agree that getting a degree from either will set you ahead of a student from the other

[thin hedge]

Yeah but think about it. If ur going for a job (overall) and one has Columbia on their resume vs someone having NYU, obviously the person is automatically going to be more inclined to pay more attention to and hire the person who went to an ivy. Yeah it’s not fair because some schools are better at something than the other but a well known and prestigious institution automatically gains the respect and attention of employers

[mint hemlock]

This. With exceptions

[thin hedge]

Yeah I mean everyone knows stern is an amazing business school so I’m sure there are equivalent opportunities when it comes to business

But really in general

[marble garden]

NYU is very well liked by employers 😭 and past your first couple jobs the name on your degree doesn’t matter as much as your practical skills

[heavy gorge]

well when you look at grad schools, columbia is also a m7

[marble garden]

columbia is much better for engineering so id hire someone from there over nyu in that sector but that’s the only one besides medical/law where it would make a difference

and stern/theater at nyu goes a long way

[mint hemlock]

Outcomes is a different argument than prestige though

[heavy gorge]

you're definitely right!! but columbia is a world renowned school that pumps out tons of research, also many people that live in places outside of the northeast might not know of nyu as well as columbia

[mint hemlock]

You said they were equally prestigious

[marble garden]

they are comparably prestigious

[thin hedge]

Yeah I mean the college u went to ISNT everything but an ivy leagues name undeniably gives u a leg up when it comes to jobs. Obviously it doesn’t predispose eternal success over someone else the person has to take advantage of the resources and name but at the start, the Ivy League gives a leg up

[marble garden]

the kids who go to an ivy league either already have a leg up or know how to fight their way to get one, they don’t pick their students at random

it’s really not the advantage they like to say it is

[heavy gorge]

its all about fit tbh, but at the end of the day i dont rly care if someone chooses NYU over columbia if they like NYU more, but it's also not fair to claim that they are basically the same school

[mint hemlock]

^

[marble garden]

okay i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to insinuate that i misspoke ^.^

[heavy gorge]

issok, no matter what, i find each school does still have its unique qualities

which should be the reason that people choose schools

[marble garden]

sorry when i see the word prestige my vision goes a little red i absolutely agree

nyu is personally NOT a great fit for me but it’s a nice school

[heavy gorge]

LOL its a great school, but yea not for me

columbia is definitely a better school (if i can get in)

[fast forum]

One thing I’m glad both have is a levain bakery near them 😂

Their cookies are literally the best I’ve ever had

Def recommend to anyone going to NYC just for fun or anything
