| "williams! 96.7% of graduates from williams college get accepted to med school and 99.6% (of those who apply) get accepted to law school."
this is meaningless, i'd be taken aback if the % was any less. I mean who can't get into any law or med school.
"or your academic interests, williams, a lib. arts college with a 7:1 teacher-student ratio is incredible!"
columbia college has 620 faculty (not including seas) for 4060 students, that's a student:faculty ratio of 6.5 : 1.
"furthermore, the profs here are here to teach rather than to take advantage of the research facilities and such at many high ivy league schools."
this is the stereotype of a state schools and of Harvard, not columbia college, columbia college very much prizes itself as a small intimate liberal arts college within a large research university. Also there are big advantages to coming to a research univ, like participating is awesomely cool research and williams might miss out on this, although i wouldn't know, at any rate research helps the name and perception of the university. |
