<p>I think it’s Columbia13 who needs to give it a rest. The article said that Barnard is the most sought after and competitive women’s college - it said nothing about it being more competitive over CU. But here’s something for people to think about: only half the population can apply to Barnard, because of course it is a women’s college. Therefore, the admit rate has to be naturally higher. Also, it doesn’t offer things that CU does, like the engineering school, etc. It’s a small liberal arts college. I didn’t want to apply to Columbia College because I really didn’t like the core, or the academic advising. I like Barnard. I have immense pride in Barnard. So there you go.</p>
