| Wow, another one with an inferiority complex! Yes, CC/SEAS has both duds and superstars. Nobody "can't make it" at Columbia -- haven't you heard of grade inflation? C's are rares at Columbia, too. There's no reason for the stat-whore, silverspoon, etc. language, either.
So you have a 3.85-3.9 GPA (that's probably the top 10%)? If so, good for you. I haven't seen the stats on GS's average GPA, but I would believe it. Older students are more mature, have better study skills, take school more seriously, suck up to professors more, seek extra help when they need it, etc. That doesn't mean GS students are smarter than regular Columbia kiddies. It is a different ballgame. |
