What are the best reasons to choose Columbia over other top ranking national universities?
Asked by KC class of 23 from Santa Monica, CA
Outstanding academic and cultural opportunities. Great restaurants and snack places around campus. In depth curiosity and intellectual approach to understanding an idea. Small classes. 80% of classes have fewer than 20 students. Great experience which will last a lifetime.
Reply by Teacher of Comparative Civilizations
Brilliant range of academic opportunities. Endless internship opportunities. Small faculty to student ratio. 80% of classes at Columbia College have 20 students or less. Many teachers will go out of their way too help a student and to explain ideas in detail. There is an intellectual curiosity which challenges students to think deeper on an idea and to make interdisciplinary connections among ideas. .These ideas undergoing development can be explored and refined in conversations among faculty and students; and tested against exhibits at museums and with other opportunities which New York City provides. The enormous cultural experiences are second to none, and easily accessible.. I am from Boston, and studying in New York provides opportunities of such a range and depth which I have never thought possible. Wonderful students from all over the United States and the world. Great local restaurants.

Do I have to be a straight A student to be able to get in the college?
Asked by Nana from Houston Texas
Hi Nana, Columbia accepts students who meet its minimum requirements. Besides GPA, the university also factors in standardized test scores, an essay, teacher recommendations, students’ achievements, activities, employment and summer activities. More than 90 percent of accepted students for the class of 2022 were in the top 10 percent of their graduating class. However, you can use our My Fit Custom College Ranking: https://bit.ly/2ZrEgjn to find colleges that accept students with similar grades.

Do you offer office administration in the business section?
Asked by Tiffany from St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Hi Tiffany, Columbia University does not offer business administration but does have a special concentration in business management.

It does offer a few MBA options at the graduate level, however there is only a concentration (minor) at the undergrad, that complements a more intensive major... typically Econ.
