<p>That’s very weird considering back when my high school classmates and I were applying for colleges in the mid-'90s, Barnard was considered only slightly less prestigious than Columbia whereas NYU, especially CAS was widely considered to be a “rich kid’s safety school” where anyone with a B/B- average and above a 1000/1600 pre-1995 SATs could get in(Stern required a B+ and around a 1260+/1600). Especially considering around 1/3 of my graduating class were admitted to NYU Stern/CAS…including myself. </p>
<p>The mere thought that an NYU student, especially a CAS student looking down on Barnard students would be laughed at as an absurdity among my high school classmates as few in my graduating class…especially those admitted to the Ivies or their equivalents universities/SLACs would feel the NYU student has sufficient standing to do so…especially if he/she is a CAS student. The snobby set among them would consider a Barnard graduate one of their own whereas they’d completely snub NYU graduates unless they’ve gone on to obtain a graduate degree from NYU or one of the Ivies/Ivy-type universities.*</p>
