CC Admissions

• I removed the part about regular decision because 8.9% is the total admission rate for CC. The RD rate is even lower.
• I removed the comparisons to Harvard and Yale because they're dishonest at best, and factually wrong at worst.
• Harvard and Yale (as well Princeton, Dartmouth, and Brown) all include their engineering students in their reported statistics. Granted, this is because engineering is a division in the university, and not a separate school. You just declare an engineering major.
• However, Penn and Cornell are similar to Columbia in respect to having a school of engineering with separate admissions processes. Even then, both include those statistics in their overall admissions (as well as all of their other divisions...)
• Therefore to use just CC's rate in comparison with other schools' overall rate is not a fair comparison, and amounts to dishonest self-aggrandizement (in my opinion). I hope this justifies my edits.
