Subject: Re: How Can You Map a School or Conference AI Distribution without All the Test Scores? Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 (C'mon man!) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:45:10 10/27/25 Mon In reply to: An Observer 's message, "How Can You Map a School or Conference AI Distribution without All the Test Scores?" on 22:42:31 10/19/25 Sun Dear AO, You have succeeded in rousing me from the indolent torpor brought on by the relentlessly listless 2025 FB Lions. No echoes up the Hudson Valley to wake old Rip Van Winkle, but the continued pounding on CU is a bit much. Ya know, Barnard is a separate undergrad institution within CU- they had their chance to merge before Columbia College went co-ed, but decided no. Harvard has their undergrad degree granting Extension school, one of the best education deals around. Stop beating up on GS. BTW: apparently the cheatin' ain't helping on the football side of things. Give it up! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I actually do. Barnard is a separate institution, legally and emotionally. Harvard does indeed have a large extension school, so CU is not the only Ivy with commuters taking classes alongside residential students. We all know that the real benefit from going to an Ivy League institution is not the education, as good as it can be for a hard-working and inquisitive student. The real benefit is the piece of paper you get and the people you meet. Well, a signficant minority of the people you'll meet as a student at Columbia College are GS commuters and Barnard students. They're not idiots and, indeed, they'll offer some perspectives you don't get from the preppie out of Exeter sitting on the other side of you. Having said that, you'll still meet all kinds of amazing people from CC and SEAS, plus many from the GS and BC. In terms of why I get a little riled up over the topic, I've been posting on this board for two decades that Columbia has been cooking the books. When the CU professor wrote his white paper three years ago saying as much, I felt vindicated. But in terms of sports, I agree with you. The academic shenanigans does not help the sports teams. Indeed, it has the opposite effect.
