columbia vs. cornell

<p>between the two, which ivy is more easier to get into? i've often heard that cornell is one of the easier ivies, but i have a lot of average friends who were waitlisted at columbia but ultimately got in.</p>

<p>I think acceptance rates speak for themselves. There's more self-selection of applicants (especially with SEAS) than for most Cornell schools, except maybe Hotel Mgmt or Agriculture.</p>
