Columbia University Acceptance Rate

Columbia University has an overall acceptance rate of 5.1%, according to Ivycoach.com.

The undergraduate class of 2028 admitted 2,319 students out of 60,248 applicants (3.84%). The graduate film program is also highly selective: only 8% of Screenwriting/Directing applicants and 4% of Creative Producing applicants are admitted each year. However, FilmSchool.org members have reported generally robust acceptance rates. Our Application Database uses accepted applicant demographics, prior filmmaking experience, lowest accepted GPAs, test scores, and more.

After you apply, be sure to log your own application with our database so that we can improve this data:
