<p>I’m looking for a good science/math school to maybe do a pre-med major with math electives. I also like a small campus but things to do. But im getting a little nervous about applying looking at the stats. And I wouldn’t be applying for early decision obviously. of course eveyr school is going to have mixed reviews but is columbia as difficult to get into as HYP? (this is really a chance thread?) or should i consider a school like cornell (which i hear has a nice campus)</p>
