Columbia University, located in Manhattan’s Morningside Heights neighborhood in New York City, offers a wide range of student activities. The Columbia Lions field more than 25 NCAA Division I teams in the Ivy League. More than 90 percent of students live in on-campus housing, ranging from traditional residence halls to university-owned brownstones. Many of the brownstones are populated by the more than 25 Greek fraternity and sorority chapters on campus, whose membership includes about 10 percent of the student body. Organizations such as Urban New York, which gives out free tickets to city events, foster student interaction with life in the Big Apple.

Columbia is comprised of three undergraduate schools—Columbia College, The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the School of General Studies—as well as a number of graduate and professional schools. Columbia’s graduate programs include the highly ranked Business School, Teachers College, SEAS, Law School, College of Physicians and Surgeons,School of International and Public Affairs, School of the Arts andMailman School of Public Health. The university also has a well-regarded College of Dental Medicine and Graduate School of Journalism. Columbia is affiliated with Barnard College for women, the Union Theological Seminary and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Distinguished alumni include John Jay, founding father and first Supreme Court Justice; President Barack Obama; songwriting team Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II; and actress Maggie Gyllenhaal. Columbia also administers the Pulitzer Prizes.

School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):

Founded in 1754, Columbia University in the City of New York encompasses more than a dozen graduate and professional schools and the over 6,000 undergraduates studying in Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. The renowned Core Curriculum unites all Columbia undergraduates by providing a common foundation in literature, philosophy, science, art, history and music, and caps classes at 22 students to afford close interaction with Columbia's renowned faculty. Columbia Engineering is one of the oldest engineering schools in the U.S., developing future engineering leaders through its unique educational approach which includes a first-year hands-on design course; close student-to-faculty interaction with extensive undergraduate research opportunities starting as early as the first year; a broad-based core curriculum, liberal arts minors and interdisciplinary courses; programs and projects that foster entrepreneurship and socially-responsible innovation; and trailblazing internship and civic engagement programs in New York City and around the world. Students choose among over 100 majors and concentrations and thousands of research, internship and job opportunities.

Located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, Columbia not only offers access to all of New York City, the ultimate classroom, but also guaranteed four-year housing within a traditional campus surrounded by a residential neighborhood lined with bookstores, cafes and parks. Called "the quintessential great urban university," Columbia is diverse in every way: students come from 50 states and over 90 foreign countries; over half of undergraduates are students of color, and over 500 student organizations are offered, including 31 Division I Ivy League athletic teams and dozens of community service organizations, performance groups, political clubs and publications.

As the birthplace of FM radio, the fields of genetics and anthropology, the nation's oldest literary magazine and first Black student advocacy group on a multi-racial campus, Columbia has carried on a tradition of both social and scientific innovation for over 250 years. Notable Columbians include Barack Obama, Isaac Asimov, Madeline Albright, Langston Hughes, Jack Kerouac, Julia Stiles, and many more spanning every professional field.

Columbia offers extensive need-based financial aid and meets the full need of every student admitted as a first-year with grants instead of loans. Parents with calculated incomes below $60,000 and with typical assets are not expected to contribute any income or assets to tuition, room, board and mandatory fees and families with calculated incomes between $60,000 and $100,000 and with typical assets have a significantly reduced contribution. To support students pursuing study abroad, research, internships and community service opportunities, Columbia offers the opportunity to apply for additional funding and exemptions from academic year and summer work expectations. A commitment to diversity of every kind is a longstanding Columbia hallmark. We believe cost should not be a barrier to pursuing your educational dreams.

Most of the American Universities require GRE for graduate admissions. GRE score act as an important admission criteria as there are thousands of students apply from around the globe and it is very likely that student past university may be unknown to the admission committee. Taking this into consideration, GRE serves as a standard test for all students regardless where student did his undergraduate studies. If GRE score is low and student undergrad university is absolutely unknown then the approval chances are slim. Having said that, a revised GRE score > 325 will very likely place a candidate into a top university. Just to make it easier, we have composed a list of 250+ US universities with GRE score requirements into graduate admissions.

US universities GRE Scores and their official websites data

Admissions into US Universities for GRE Scores > 333

Scores under this bracket – 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340

Your GRE score is fine. The first and foremost thing you should know is GRE & TOEFL are not the only criteria considered during admissions by top notch universities. I have seen few people getting rejected with 325+ GRE in Stanford and also people with 300 getting through Yale university and a 303 getting into Stanford. Now, you decide what is the most important thing during admission. never ever depend only on GRE and TOEFL, Your profile should be stronger. Stronger in the sense not like having Good academics, many things fall under a strong profile, like paper presentations, research, Patents* (If any:Yes this works). Top notch universities would want an extraordinary student to study in their university not an average kid obviously. Hope I answered your Question (by moving out of your actual question).

Depends on lots of factors:

1. The timing of the application. If you apply early there are more chances of getting through because most universities follow rolling admissions.

2. Course applied. Generally CS and EE courses require higher GRE score

3. University. Many universities have higher cutoff score while others stress on the profile. You have to research a lot regarding the universities you want to apply and the criterion.

4. Having strong recommendation letters makes a difference.
