<p>I really hate it when people say stuff like this, but i must:</p>
<p>Skymall, you are a complete idiot. Spend your precious $50,000 on a personality transplant, then go back to high school and learn a thing or two about human interaction.</p>
<p>wel i'm taking all ap's this year and one of them is psychology and human geography... so chill clendenenator.. are you getting mad?</p>
<p>i can deal with grade deflation... how cold are the winters? -80 degress? oO</p>
<p>you didn't answer half my questions because you know they are the truth and you can't argue with the truth... I guess ivy league students are over rated... can't even put up a good conversation without getting mad and irritated and calling someone an idiot.... good work :) </p>
<p>its all in good fun.. debate is healthy, yet you don't make it that way</p>
<p>I wouldn't suggest applying to Cornell. This isn't the place for you. Grades are given to those students who earn them, no matter what the tuition students aren't entitled to anything. </p>
<p>"Why spend 50,000 if your going to get a good education , but a ****ty grade?"</p>
<p>You're not learning much if you're not getting good grades. </p>
<p>Apply to places with grade inflation, since this seems to be your dominant motive for applying to colleges. Brown, UPenn, Stanford, Duke, Harvard are all known for this. Don't bother with Cornell.</p>
<p>just remember if your going to apply to princeton ED that it restricts you from applying EA (no uchicago then)</p>
<p>Hm.. homestar! your amazing! Thanks... very good info. You really helped me learn. I'm crossing Cornell off my list as we speak... I also heard Cornell has the highest suicide rates.. i guess I can see why.. Thank you so much! You just saved me 60 bucks :)</p>
<p>Cornell doesn't have the highest suicide rate in the country, not even close. Plain and simple, you just don't know the facts or much about the University in general (another reason you probably wouldn't get in). </p>
<p>I guess if you can't stand the heat, don't bother going anywheres near the kitchen in the first place.</p>
<p>IMAO Skymall. When gomestar told you to apply to other schools, he/she was being sarcastic toward your ignorance lol</p>
<p>It's so funny how you're thanking him/her lol Seriously, you NEED to get an education on human interaction and language use.</p>
<p>actually, I really think Skymall should apply elsewhere. </p>
<p>somebody whose at Cornell only to be at an ultra-elite school with the intention of having it help them get into a great law school to make alot of money will do nothing to help the university or the student body. Just a waste of space. One of the rare instances where I will tell people not to come to Cornell.</p>
<p>lol (10 ch)</p>
<p>if you really want a city, Dartmouth isn't the place to be (I just saw it on your list; I'm an incoming Dartmouth '10, so I have little to say about Cornell. Don't know too much about the school). It does have, however, mediocre weather. I think you have to decide which of those two is more important.</p>
<p>Yup thanks! I just crossed off cornell and dartmouth from my list... thanks though... I agree</p>
<p>Just to let you know, Princeton isn't too much of a city...</p>
<p>From what the other Cornell students are saying, there grade deflation isn't significant. And even if it was, Cornell students who become lawyers are generally the most successful and I'm sure that includes those Cornellians who didn't beat the curve. First of all, if you were concerned about grade deflation, a more appropriate question to ask is which schools/majors does that generally affect the most. From what I hear, at most colleges it's the biology people trying to get their medical degrees to become doctors. Cornell is probably the same (But if someone wants to say otherwise please do). But that would have been an appropriate question instead of slamming Cornell. Second, Cornell is pretty large with many schools so grades probably aren't the same everywhere. Third, like I said before, let's say Cornell did have a bell curve and 10% received A's, don't you think any respectable law school would be aware of how Cornell grades and the calibur of students and realize that a 3.4 while low at other schools actually still put you in let's say the 80th percentile of your class? GPA is not everything and I will bet that most law schools understand the grading systems of the colleges of their applicants and if they don't, then you probably don't wanna go there.</p>
<p>well said .</p>
<p>i agree.</p>
<p>i also agree with what gomestar has to say. think of applying to law school, like applying to college. i understand it is significantly different, however there are the similarities. for instance, if you get a 4.3 gpa at your high school and you transfer to a more difficult school and get a 3.5, the university probaly will KNOW that the school you transferred was of a high caliber or more difficult in general. do not rely completely on GPA. </p>
<p>and im just kind of flabbergasted, (nice word i know) that you are basically conveying or stating what you want in a college to be interpreted as this: "I would really like a school that isnt too hot or isnt too cold, and that i work and know i get rewarded for it." it is almost as if you are looking to buy something with a warranty! almost like, "well if i spend 50,000 dollars on this car, it BETTER be warm and not too hot or cold and it BETTER give me good grades, because, after all, i spent 50,000 dollars on it."</p>
<p>that is not what education is about. go to the school that makes YOU happy, where you know you will be CHALLENGED, where you can WORK HARD for that grade. </p>
<p>good luck with your search.</p>
