<p>I actually agree with Princetonbe that Dartmouth is more flexible</p>
<p>Of course, its not one of my choices either way, whereas I think Cornell sort of is</p>
<p>Neutral,</p>
<p>whao, relax... It's okay. It's just a discussion. Nothing too serious or important. Actually, even though I do post a lot on CC, most of the posts came last year when I was an enthusiastic member of the Princeton Board and tried to create some positive atmosphere there. Recently, most of my post counts are spent answering other ppl's questions and clarifying things for others.</p>
<p>But anyway, I apologize for my harsh comments regarding Cornell and for offending you with the wrong stats regarding cornell. My best friend who applied last year didn't really complain or even talk about having to do another application for cornell (like he did for other schools such as penn and princeton), so i assumed that Cornell was using the common app last year as well. </p>
<p>The final point is that each ivy is distinct in many different areas. Which ever school an applicant chooses to go is totally up to himself, his opinion, and his preferences. As for C and D, both are great schools and will offer life changing experiences. the difference is that C is a BIG research university, whereas D is a small liberal arts ivy. If you want to go into law, med, business, or any other humanity-related majors, I would D.. But if you want to go into math, engineering, and science related fields, definitely pick C... I do take back some of the negative things i said about Cornell. The main reason why it is less selective is not because it is not a good school, it just has a big class so it has to admit more students. There are ppl who picked Cornell over Harvard and people who picked Dartmouth over Princeton. so in the end, you can't go wrong at either places. But it's totally up to the applicant to decide which place might be better for him...</p>
<p>PS. i just get really annoyed when people thing a school's graduate school quality is somewhat correlated to its undergrad... Berkerly is a good grad school, but it's undergrad is not so good. Just like JHU...</p>
