Hey thanks for the info. I’m actually planning to fly up to columbia this wednesday right after i take my IB history exam…These are some of my current thoughts: I think Columbia SEAS is a bit harder to get into than Duke Pratt and I’ve been told that the ivy-league name can get me some mileage(personally i dont really care bout this whole ivy league thing and it definitely is not a deciding factor) I’m pretty set on studying BME(not because its great as a pre-med route but because I’m very interested in this particular major and seems to be a great fit for me) and I know Duke has a very good reputation in that field. However, I’m worried that I won’t be able to stand out among the BME students at DUke because it is such a popular and strong major. but then…my friend whose currently attending Columbia SEAS said the competition at Columbia is also very intense juz because the ppl who come to Columbia are all pretty crazy(academically) I guess it may juz come down to superficial things like campus/location, weather, etc…Any more input would be greatly appreciated!!! please help me… Ok so back to studying for IB English exam which is tomorrow…crap =(
