Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
First of all, what are your reasons for wanting to go to those schools? When choosing a college, you should choose the school that has the best program you are looking for. So in your case, you should be looking for a school that has the best teaching program, NOT the school that is the most prestigious.
Columbia is a great school but difficult to get into. It's not as difficult as Harvard or Yale, but you should have at least a 3.98 GPA, very high test scores, an awesome essay, and be involved in activities or sports. They also like to see that you in excel in a particular area. For example, it's listed on your resume/activity list that you've won a lot of science competitions, or maybe you are on the debate team and have won a bunch of tournaments. That's what they like to see. You also need letters of recommendation.
So the answer is yes, it's not for your average person. You have to be an intelligent, well-rounded person.
NYU is also a good school. It's well-known for its art school. SUNY is another school but I don't know much about it.
