How competitive is admission to Columbia?
Admission to both Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is broad-based but highly selective, and the Committee is only able to offer admission to only a small fraction of all applicants. Last year, under 10% of first-year applicants were admitted. Admission for transfer students is also highly selective. Over the past decade, the Committee has admitted between 5% and 10% of transfer applicants each year. A profile of the Class of 2013 is available on the Admissions Statistics webpage.
