A tipster wrote in to alert Bwog to an apparent SEAS conspiracy brewing at Google Labs. The image of Columbia’s campus on Google Maps is overlaid by “Columbia Univ – School of Engineering” while “Columbia University” is confined to 120th & Broadway, somewhere in the neighborhood of Pupin.
We knew SEAS had been stepping into the spotlight under Dean Galil, but we didn’t know he had launched some sort of coup against the powers-that-be in Low before shipping out to Tel Aviv. Our informant concludes otherwise: “Looks like the old question about the engineering school as the ‘back door’ into the university has finally been settled — by Google.”

@whee I’m SEAS!!
@six Wow, remind me never again to use the phrase ‘back door’ in an email to Bwog.
@hmm... Another wrinkle!
Zoome out to the 5th little bar, and Columbia University, School of Engineering or otherwise disappears. CUNY, on the other hand, remains visible. Outranked again…
@google depending on how far in you zoom it says “columbia university” in different places. at the next level from where blog zoomed, it says it on mudd, carman, and IAB. when you’re all the way in, it says “columbia university” on pupin, uris, john jay, and carman.
the whole thing’s pretty funny. go seas!
@And it’s a window without a view.
@Splat! It’s a window with an excellent view, 20 stories high, overlooking East Harlem, with the suicide guards removed.
@Anonymous I agree with post #4, barnard = backdoor of CU. I’m not a girl. But I truly believe this. I’m sorry for anyone who’s reading this and it’s a barnard girl. But it’s true. Let’s accept it.
@regardless barnard might also be a front door to itself… but we’re all leaving through the same window
@I still say the backdoor is the Buttler. And stop hating on SEAS. Don’t hate us cause we’re beautiful;)
@I think SEAS students should continue to be quarantined in Mudd, that way only the northeast corner of campus smells bad.
@Anonymous uh not funny? I would hazard a guess that the majority of Butler Library’s population, during midterms and finals (the ones that sleep there, do not shower, and make a complete mess of their tiny study cubby) are CC students.
@the real one the truly rich do not walk at all, but are carried on diamond-encrusted thrones by loyal, abiding servants
@DHI Money is a front door, as rich people do not walk around to the back of places.
@plus money is a back door to life for people with no masturbation skills
@I have the skills my asshole is a backdoor for strangely-shaped objects
@look Columbia U is one big back door to life for people with no good looks or charm.
@but Good looks and charm are two big back doors to life for people with no intelligence or talent.
@and intelligence and talent are back doors to life for people with no money.
@Listen SEAS and CC have different criteria for entry. Trying to compare the schools by acceptance rate of all things, it’s a pretty silly notion.
@the Man backdoor = barnard
@cc student or living in a sparsely populated state! or having some very specific talent! that the university sees a need for. shit, you know what? i guess every single motherfucker who applied to this school and got in that did not apply from the most competitive prep school in the most competitive state got in through a back door.
and therefore they are all worth ridiculing. because lord knows getting into college is the most important thing we will ever do.
wanna compare sat scores? AP?! IB?!?!?!???!??!?!!??!
lick them balls, lick them balls.
@seas student what the hell are you talking about? i can’t see where the sarcasm ends and the point begins.
while we’re comparing test scores, seas has significantly higher test scores than cc or bc (though I think our acceptance rate hovers at somewhere around 25% to cc’s < 10%)
@you, student miss the point entirely.
there is no excuse for talking about college admissions at college.
@The only backdoor too Columbia is through the Buttler.
@SEAS complex LONG LIVE SEAS AND OUR GLORIOUS LEADER GALIL!
@Anonymous Hear, Hear!
