Do you know the details about the relationship between Columbia University and Columbia College? I don’t, so I will look. Hmm, very selective in applicants, I wonder how 0bola got it, being a dopester and all?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_College_(New_York)

Columbia College is the oldest undergraduate college of Columbia University, situated on the university’s main campus in Morningside Heights in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It was founded by the Church of England in 1754 as King’s College, receiving a royal charter from King George II of Great Britain. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the United States. Columbia was ranked as the 3rd best college in the United States by U.S. News and World Report after only Princeton and Harvard.[1][2]

The college is distinctive for its comprehensive Core Curriculum, and is among the most selective colleges in its admissions.[3][4] For the class of 2021, the college accepted 5.8% of its applicants, the second lowest acceptance rate in the Ivy League behind only Harvard.[5]
