<p>munited, i hope your right. now i expect to get a full ride by senior year :)</p>
<p>Well hey even if they don't give us a ton of money to go, I bet they put a crap load of money into our education, research, and opportunities.</p>
<p>I wonder when the financial aid office is going to move to new policies like Yale, UPenn, Harvard, Princeton, and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>I know I'll seem stupid for asking this question, but while keeping the university's endowment in an investment account ensures the school's future prosperity, where does Cornell get its money, if the endowment is never touched?</p>
<p>Sum1 mentioned oil and I do think that that is where the recent gains was acheived</p>
<p>When you have $5 billion in the bank, you get a lot just out of the interest.</p>
<p>i know this was brought up a long time ago, but how do you get columbia having 3000 more people than cornell?????? even adding the fu thingy and the normal college they only have about 5000 undergrads...</p>
<p>The endowment of the University is shared by the entire student body, not just by the undergrads. Columbia has 15,000 graduate students compared to Cornell's 7,000. Altogether, both schools have 20,000 students each.</p>
