<p>Is Cornell more friendly towards accepting in-state students to their specific state-supported colleges or is it the same standards all around?</p>
<p>Anyone know?</p>
<p>I thought it may cost less for NY students?</p>
<p>Cornell mom here! The state supported colleges- ILR, Human Ec and CALS definitely costs less for NYS students. Tuition is around $18,000. Because of that, Cornell has always been an extremely popular school with high achieving NY kids (and their parents). Competition in NYS for spots in those 3 schools is pretty fierce (especially in the metro NY area).
My gut feeling is that you have alot less OOS kids competing for spots in those three schools- so it may be a bit less competitive and a bit easier for OOS kids to get into those schools. I think only about 1/3 of Cornell students are from NYS, so as you can see the majority of spots will go to OOS applicants. I believe those #'s hold true for the 3 state sponsored schools too.<br>
I can also tell you that nearby states like New Jersey and Pa, are very well represented at Cornell.
My gut feeling is if you are from an underrepresented state, and you have very decent stats, ya got a good shot at Cornell.
you can probably get better info on the Cornell site, but I am pretty sure that about 2/3 of Cornell enrollment is from OOS and that includes the state sponsored schools.</p>
<p>you'll never know what your chances are until you apply. Good luck!!</p>
