How hard is it to get into the Columbia Publishing Course?
Admissions are competitive. Each year, the Publishing Course receives between 350 and 400 applications for 100 places. Don’t let this discourage you, however. The admission committee looks very carefully at each application and weighs its individual merits.

Ok, that’s not that bad. One in four. Not bad at all. And yes, I have completed my application. All of it: cover letter, application for admission, resume, personal statement, application for financial scholarship, additional financial information. PHEW. God, I’m all clacked out.
