<p>Hi mom2collegekids. It is a private school, yes (Columbia University). I’m not sure what qualifies as a “for-profit” school, since it seems to me that all colleges “profit” in one way or another. I was admitted early action for this upcoming spring semester.</p>
<p>Anyway, I am just speaking about schools in general, as they all seem to require deposit fees around the same price (Stony Brook’s is like $650 or something, and it’s a public school [but they’re giving me a full scholarship]).</p>
