<p>I just didn’t think that Cornell was legally allowed to discriminate based on state since they are not SUNY. I suppose they could be doing so secretly though…</p>
<p>Cornell is a private school and can do what it wants, except for discriminate based on religion, age… Cornell receives some state funding for the contract schools, for that they may have agreed to admit X number of in-state.</p>
<p>There is a thread on Parents Forum on what’s unhook to get into top schools:</p>
<p>Asians with 2400 SAT, playing violin or piano
White kids from NY, NJ, CT
Whit girl majoring in English
Indian premed
Jewish kids from Long Island
Asians boys who play video games well</p>
<p>The list could go on. Every college discriminates against certain group of people all in the name of diversity.</p>
<p>Chandler- Seriously, don’t lose hope. I’m glad I didn’t. It’s a long stretch from now until 4/1, it’s not worth the worry. You have really great stats, and I’m sure you’ll get into some place that’s great and think ‘why did I even worry?’ to tell you the truth, I’d be shocked if you didnt get at least a GT. If you do, don’t get discouraged. It’s a great deal. You’ll have a year’s worth of $$ saved, a bunch of bothersome intro-courses out of the way, and admission into an IVY is in YOUR hands. Who else can say it was up to them on whether or not to be accepted?</p>
<p>^^ lol oldfort. also, asian kids who are on collegediscussion</p>

<p>Perhaps, but not-so-clear as the contract colleges are part of the Land Grant college system, which happens to be SUNY in NY. And, the state-assisted colleges are in “partnership” or are “affiliated” with SUNY…and, with state assistance, I gotta believe that they have an in-state target.</p>

<p>First of all… Cornell has only three public colleges, not four.</p>
<p>Second of all, thank you so much grantortue for your kind words, I actually have a CAAAN interview tonight but I don’t really think it’s going to affect my chances of admission much. I’m scared for 3/31-4/1, I really am.
Congrats on your GT, btw, and I hope you enjoy your 3 years at Cornell immensely :)</p>
<p>Actually chandler your wrong, your forgetting vetenary medicine which is grad only but still state funded. Godd luck with your interview im sure itll go great.</p>
<p>Oh right right, my bad, I was thinking undergraduate.
It did go well :)</p>
<p>Total applications are up by around 3-4 percent.</p>
<p>CayugaRed, how would you even know that? Its not posted anywhere?!</p>
<p>CayugaRed is omniscient, obviously.</p>
<p>I’ll let somebody else answer that question.</p>

<p>I just read somewhere that some of the contract colleges like ILR don’t reject any ED applicants. Is this true?? And if it is it makes getting in after a deferral so much harder than I had thought.</p>
<p>Right you are, at least for ILR that is. Cals and Hum Ec reject.</p>
