| Columbia College More Selective Than Ever in 2008
Quote:
On Monday afternoon, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions sent out the much-awaited admission packages that had been causing sleepless nights for more than 22,000 hopefuls from across the country and the world.
Columbia College received a total of 19,116 applications, a 5.7 percent increase from last year’s numbers, and admitted only 1,660. The overall admit rate of 8.7 percent is the lowest ever in the College’s history.
