<p>I heard they had some kind of relationship. Anyone know anything about it?</p>
<p>havnt heard about it and i doubt it's true.</p>
<p>Some people seem to confuse between having land-grant divisions and being a SUNY. Although I suppose it might be convenient for a student from SUNY to transfer to Cornell because of the distance and the contract college fees.</p>
<p>No, no, he's talking about the guarantee transfer option. Cornell gives these out to a few students each year who they want but either don't have enough space this year or want to see how well they do first in another college. You must maintain a 3.0 and then you are guaranteed transfer. On Ithaca High School's common data set, they have a few guarantee transfers. I'm not sure how they decide what schools you can transfer from.</p>
<p>^ Exactly. Thank you :)
So you just have to maintain a certain GPA at Bing and then you can transfer to Cornell?</p>
<p>No, you're a guaranteed transfer if you applied to Cornell but were told you couldn't enroll until the following year, meaning you would have to enroll at another college, maintain a certain gpa, then upon achievement of that, you would be able to transfer.</p>
<p>you dont have to maintain a certain gpa at bing, you have to maintain a certain gpa wherever you go. you can go anywhere. there is not articulate agreement between Cornell and Binghamton. The two schools are very different from each other.</p>
<p>Actually, Cornell land grant colleges (CALS, HE, ILR) are technically affiliated with SUNY. So, in actuality, if you attend one of the aforementioned land grant schools, you are enrolling in Suny-Cornell, as opposed to the actual Cornell University.</p>
<p>And, yes, what he is referring to is the guaranteed transfer. While listening to an info session at Cornell, a sophmore expounded on the guaranteed transfer. He was formally accepted RD, but there was not enough space for him, even though he was very qualified. Cornell gave him the option of enrolling in any SUNY institution for one year, in which he had to maintain a 3.0 + GPA, and then he could transfer to Cornell for his sophmore year.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as "SUNY-Cornell." Guaranteed transfers may attend ANY college, not necessarily a SUNY, and as long as they maintain the gpa they can transfer in.</p>
<p>Ok, there's no such thing as SUNY Cornell... I friggin' give up...</p>
<p>Look, I got this information from Dr. Randy Wayne of CALS.</p>
<p>well i guess it sucks for them....</p>
<p>for all of the rest of us, the private ivy leaguers.... :)</p>
<p>why does this come up all of the time....it is getting so frustating hearing this</p>
<p>there is no such thing as suny cornell. </p>
<p>suny refers to the institution that regulates the state schools of new york. They creat the rules that students need to graduate, they dictate the funds, who get hired, what teachers will be paid, how many students should be admitted, what the tuition will be, graduation requirements, etc. All schools under the suny system must follow this. </p>
<p>Cornell doesn't have to follow any of this. All they have to do is be New York's land grad institution and certain colleges will get money from the state of new york. New york decided long ago which schools it wanted to fund, and it chose the ones that they belived would be most beneficial to New York's economy and residents. It could very easily have been Arts and Sciences over Human Ecology. But, New York stuck with HumEc (i'm assuming mostly in part to the fact that HumEc produced many teachers in their programs that New York really needs). The Ag school was chosen to be funded since much of new york relies on agriculture. Those students who enrolled in the state-side enroll with Cornell University (not suny-cornell). The degree is granted from Cornell University, not the state of New York. Cornell university is listed as a private university, as it (and every part of it) is regulated by Cornell University. New York state just supports some of the university with finances. This is not suny Cornell. </p>
<p>by the way, i get my information form Dr. Harry Katz, dean of the ilr school. Part of his job as Dean is to collaborate with the state regarding funds. He explained alot of the relationship with NY over a dinner I had with him last semester.</p>
<p>nice explanation.........you had dinner w/ the dean?</p>
<p>this past semester, i had dinner with the dean, dinner with bill nye (the science guy), lunch with bill nye, and tossed the frisbee with bill nye for a few minutes before one of my classes. Cornell rocks!</p>
<p>I think that's more Bill Nye than I can handle.</p>
<p>The Land Grant status of Cornell ties into the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862 and 1890. The federal government gave each eligible state 30,000 acres of federal land to establish an institution to teach agriculture and other areas of study. I believe every state has at least one land grant school. Most land grant programs are at "The" State University which would include University of Connec., Michigan State- etc. As SUNY was not founded until 1948 (?), there was no NY State U to take advantage of the Morrill Act- therefore I have to assume Cornell was given the land grant designation for NY state as there was no SUNY. And in Mass. both U. Mass/Amherst and MIT are designated as their Land Grant Institutions. I don't think the kids at MIT are whining over its Land Grant status. Any history majors want to check this out further, please do so.</p>
<p>yes, MIT is one as well. </p>
<p>in the end, it doesnt really matter what college you are in. I have a friend in CALS who is in all arts and sciences classes this semester. He just pays half the price.</p>
<p>Ah... The Morril Land-Grant Acts...</p>
<p>AP US History.... It's all flooding back now ;)
Nice explanation, marny.</p>

<p>A little known fact is that Yale was the original land grant school in Connecticut and gave up its status to the Storrs Agricultural College, now the University of Connecticut. I think Yale may still hold some forest land in upstate Connecticut.</p>
