• 34 percent are men

J-school gender split: applying v. enrolling

I came to Columbia last January for the required writing exam. Of the 15 applicants in the testing room, only one was male. Did anyone else witness such an extreme split?

I'm trying to find out from the admissions office if the gender breakdown of applicants is different from those who enroll.
