<p>“The better question is how a republican could manage to get through the admission screening process.”</p>
<p>do you have ANY real basis for this at all?</p>
<p>the adcom takes in openly republican kids all the time, the problem is a small percent of high schoolers are actually republican/conservative, and a smaller percentage acutally apply to columbia, knowning that it is a liberal place, professors outside the econ department, and apart from several poli sci profs are very much liberal. But in part, that’s academia for you.</p>
