As an undergraduate institution, Columbia typically places around 8th or 9th. This is probably fairly accurate, but many people believe that Columbia is consistently under-ranked because its admissions committee places less of an emphasis on [[SAT]] scores than most of the other top 10 universities. Additionally, alumni giving is consistently lower at Columbia than at comparable institutions, further affecting our rank. Somehow, [[Penn]] manages to consistently achieve higher rank.
