Um, Why doesn’t Columbia release information about admitting legacies?



Probably because the numbers themselves look bad (20%-30% or whatever it is vs. 10%), they make the school look like an old boy’s club where you get in on your family name rather than your merit, because it would encourage more alumni to send their kids to Columbia just because it could be relatively easy to get in rather than because they want to go there, etc.



hey columbia2002, im going to print out this thread and send it to dean Colombo. lets see what he has to say about me being full of sh**.



And they’re going to, what, revoke my diploma and not let me be a volunteer alumni interviewer because I’m calling your bluff? Why would Colombo have anything to do with this, anyway? He’s not admissions.
