Advice After Speaking to a Cornell Admissions Officer...

[oldfort]

<p>I am usually pretty good at doing research on the internet, but in reading through few documents of relationship between Cornell and NY, there is no mention of number of NY residents contract schools must admit in order to keep its funding. Cornell could run those schools as it sees fit, but NY educational board has an oversight over hiring of deans, and those contract schools are still private and non-profit. If anyone has more information, would</p>

<p>If Cornell wants more tuition money (like CA and other state schools), it would want to admit more out of state students.</p>

<p>On CALS website, it published: “The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) has transfer agreements with several colleges that offer programs that match the mission of CALS” It has agreements with 20+ CC schools in NY, but it also has agreements with out of state colleges:
• Bakersfield College (CA)</p>

<p>• College of Sequoias (CA)</p>

<p>• Fresno City College (CA)</p>

<p>• Modesto Junior College (CA)</p>

<p>• Porterville College (CA)</p>

<p>• Reedley College (CA)</p>

<p>• Santa Rosa Junior College (CA)</p>

<p>• Holyoke Community College (MA)</p>

<p>• Harford Community College (MD)</p>

<p>• Cumberland County College (NJ)</p>

<p>• Gloucester County College (NJ)</p>

<p>• Vermont Technical College (VT)</p>

<p>• Niagara College (Canada)</p>

<p>It doesn´t appear CALS has transfer agreement with CCs to get NY state funding, it appears it has transfer agreement with CCs which offer programs that match the mission of CALS.</p>

The Cornell alums here- in or headed to professional school- have done more disservice to my notion of the standards at Cornell than the knowledge the college, as a land grant institution, accepts cc students. What simplified, emotional thinking.</p>

<p>It’s sophomoric. And mean-spirited. You can’t prove cc transfers are lesser. No more than you can prove all prep school kids cheat or all redheads have a temper. </p>

<p>Yes, you complainers “know” a few cc kids who were lesser. And, now I “know” three or four Cornellians who…

</p>

<p>You can argue all the you want, but at the end of the day, these transfer students should be required to send SAT scores in order to promote fairness into the equation. Or, the admissions office should also declare that it is ‘optional’ for high school applicants to send their SAT scores for consideration of admission.</p>

<p>See who is offended now? Speaks a lot about who’s feeling that he has lost his “argument” (like it even existed)</p>

<p>Cornell is ashamed today for having an alum (not verified yet, i give Cornell the benefit of the doubt) like you

</p>

<p>I am speechless…</p>

<p>Now who’s launching an ad-hominem attack? : )</p>

<p>You actually took time to blast another stranger other than me. : (</p>

<p>I can’t help but think that you are a CC student with 1700 SAT, hence, the assertion that I am ‘mean spirited’. </p>

<p>I can’t see how anyone would be offended by my suggestion that it is wrong to accept such students - ones with astonishingly low SATs or no SATs at all - while others with far better qualifications are turned down in freshmen admissions cycle. It is all logical. No ill intention here.</p>
