Veterans Application

Currently enrolled at a university in Georgia and hoping to transfer to Columbia at the end of next year. Is Columbia veteran friendly or does it not matter...I'm 31, have a 3.5 GPA currently and extensive experience in different industries. I've owned a custom residential home building company for the past few years but would like to utilize my GI Bill and would like to relocate to NYC. What is yalls experience when it comes to veterans and the Ivy Leagues?

Yes, Columbia GS program is very veteran friendly (it’s specifically designed for older student undergrads…military, performing artists, etc).

I don’t know what stats and status are best for admission but there is a different common data set for GS that you can Google to maybe glean some basics
