<p>Actually no. Not as many people are going to apply to Barnard because it only admits women, it’s a small liberal arts college without programs such as engineering and there are people who want to go to schools with very specific programs (like engineering). The school also has very consistent class sizes of around 550 students. They want to keep the class sizes consistent, they have to admit around 28-29%. I’m not making excuses for why the admit rate is higher than the Columbia admit rate, it’s just what it is. There is absolutely no point in wasting more time on this subject, so I’m not going to. I suggest you do the same.</p>
