<p>I am a junior and would like to ask several questions about the learning environment at Columbia and admissions?</p>
<ol>
<li>Do classes mostly consist of lectures or discussions? Are they intellecutually challenging and exciting? </li>
<li>Do most students actively participate in discussions? Or do most of them just sit back and hardly pay attention?</li>
<li>How are the students you’ve encountered so far? Do they seem to care about/enjoy learning?</li>
<li>My private school uses a 100/100 GPA scale. I have a combined GPA of 94~ so far; is it high enough?. </li>
<li>I have 3 Bs in my freshmen and sophomore years; will they hurt my chances? The rest of my transcripts are As though.</li>
<li>Is a SAT subject score of 740 too low? From what I’ve heard at CC, most people say that it’s best to get a score of 750+.</li>
<li>I am a Korean and I heard that Columbia has quite a large number of Korean students. I am interested in knowing their admission stats if that’s possible. </li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks in advance. :)</p>
