<p>Goldenboy, I honestly do not understand your fascination with Columbia and your constant derision of it. You seem to think that you have the perfect barometer for testing an undergraduate institution’s worthiness. All of these “facts,” which you cite do not change the fact that for the past, what is now, three years Columbia has been ranked higher than Stanford. Also, it does not change the fact that Columbia, in some respects, is harder to get into. I don’t know where you went to college, but I don’t think it was Stanford from what I have gleaned from your posts on this thread. Your fascination with Stanford and your hatred of Columbia borders on the obscene. Columbia is ranked higher than Stanford, by some measures is harder to get into. After Manhattanville is completed, Columbia will probably always be ranked high than Stanford. Stop this nonsense, let the high schoolers get the information they need from various school’s respective fora and that’s that. If you can’t get that through your brain, seek professional help.</p>
