| I think this article overlooked schools that do accept other programs as long as they are pre-approved by the school. Tufts, for instance, has an enormous list of approved programs many of which are through other schools.
As far as the kid at Columbia, I'm confused as to why he thought the school would renege. Columbia has an exchange program with Oxford, through Oxford that they prefer kids take because it's more in line with Columbia's own programs. Is it weird that they wouldn't approve the other one? Yes. But if a school tells you they won't approve program X, don't be surprised when they in fact do not approve program X. |
