Recent trends indicate that Columbia University's appeal has declined among accepted students, with a notable admissions consultant reporting that none of his ten successful applicants plan to enroll. This decline is attributed to issues surrounding pro-Palestinian protests and uncertainty stemming from the university's leadership changes. Students are instead choosing alternatives like NYU and Duke, citing dissatisfaction with Columbia's instability and reputation. The concerns extend to legacy applicants as well, raising questions about the university's ability to attract top talent in future admissions cycles.
