@Transfersquared and @Nursingskiing I know that on college confidential gs isn’t seen as highly. But it is under false pretenses. The gs education is identical to CC. GS students are in all the same classes with all the same teachers and all the same opportunities. The only difference is that the gs students have taken a few years off to work professionally, join the military or something like that. The diploma doesn’t say general studies and on my job resume I can just write Columbia University. So although people seem to think it’s different, there really aren’t any important differences. It’s a Columbia education through and through. Plus General Studies students have consistently held the highest GPA of all the Columbia schools. I am more curious if anyone knows about the student life and how students tend to feel about it in comparison to NYU.
@baddiarydays yes hahaha even if it feels super irresponsible, I just want to live in nyc and go to the best philosophy school in the world, Im just kind of an NYU fanboy hahahah I’ll figure out some way to pay the sebt in 3 years lol what about you??
@joewimon At least you saved a year’s worth of tuition! (at least that’s how I’m look at it). I have yet to get my financial aid stuff but at the moment, I’m most likely going to attend
@Ros432 When I visited NYU I overheard the joke “What do NYU students and Columbua students have in common?-- they boyh applied to Columbia” (I found it funny, don’t judge me)
@joewimon no judgement here haha.
@thegent thank u! But I really doubt it that I’ll get in. I really scored horrible on my English profiency test. (Like very very low). That test was 4 hour long I just lost concentration after starring such a long time in the computer. My English is way better then I did on the test. Also I have 2 W on my transcripts. Most nurses apply with 3.9 GPA. 
Not yet any change on my albert. Does that mean I get rejected? :((
Just received email decision: Denied.
College GPA: 4.07, 35 Credits
High School GPA: 3.9 Unweighted
