Barack Obama is only one of the many impressive and influential figures who attended this New York, Ivy League university. Believe it or not, 20 of the world’s billionaires and 5 of the American Founding Fathers attended Columbia University. When 7% of people make it in, we start to get an understanding of their strict entrance policies.
