Answer 1 :
Columbia is one of the best colleges in the nation. It's an Ivy League school (as is Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, UPenn, and Dartmouth). You have to be the best of the best in the country to get in. This means getting a near perfect SAT score, a very high GPA, taking AP/honors courses, and having tons of extracurricular activities. But there are other good colleges in NYC that are less competitive, such as NYU and Fordham. GOOD LUCK!
