This is not my understanding. I’ve spoken to admissions at both St Lawrence and Columbia to confirm guaranteed admission to Columbia if my son attended St Lawrence (and met all the prerequisites for the 3-2 program). </p>
<p>IF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE 3-2 PROGRAM ARE MET, there is no issue. It’s a slam dunk. If they are not met, all bets are off.</p>
<p>St Lawrence also has a dual degree program with Dartmouth. The GPA requirement is higher, but the same thing applies. It’s a slam dunk. </p>
<p>I guess as a back up plan, St Lawrence also has a dual degree program with RPI. This is only appealing as a safety net for my son, as he can get into RPI on his own.</p>
