<p>Does Cornell have the reputation as the "easiest" Ivy because it has the highest acceptance rate? Is the workload at Cornell just as good as any of the other Ivies? What about the professors? Also, because it is fairly isolated, does the campus have fewer lectures and guest speakers than other schools that are more centrally located?</p>
<p>you are either foreign, from literally the middle of nowhere, just ignorant, or like 12 years old. well, regardless of which one of those that you are, you are misinformed.</p>
<p>I heard it was also "easier" to get in, but that's really not saying much. I'm not referring to the acceptance rates.</p>
<p>Is it or isn't easier to get into than the other Ivies?</p>
<p>Cornell does accept more people and a higher percentage of its applicants than the other ivy league schools (this is at least partially a result of it having more students). That said, you can't judge a school solely on how selective it is. The workload, difficulty of classes, and quality of education is not any less than that of the other ivy league schools.</p>

<p>and then awaken yourself to the kinds of footsteps youre walking in. seriously, you think Yale or Harvard is 'easier' to get into? Come back when you find someone from those schools who invented the air conditioner blowing behind you, the artificial heart you might need 50 years from now, the Burger King you just came back from with the date of your dreams (ok, maybe not burger king but still...), the Coors you and your buds did keg-stands on, the fighter jet made by Northrop Grumann that scared the **** out of you when you were a kid, your daddy's Palm Pilot, and more, just to name a few.</p>
<p>It's slightly easier to get into than other Ivies due to its size but I think its education is about as good as any other Ivy League college (that's just overall of course; each school has different strengths).</p>
<p>It's easier to get into Cornell because it is the largest Ivy, and has an undergrad class size that is almost 2 times larger than most of the other Ivies. Comparing Cornell's 3500 undergrad class size to the other Ivies' averages of about 1700, how could it not be easier to get in. It's the most overlooked fact, and the most common used to bash Cornell. And, don't get sucked into the game that Cornell is the easiest Ivy to get into, so you'll apply there. IT'S NOT EASY TO GET INTO IVY MUCH LESS ANY OTHER PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY WANT MORE THAN YOUR AVERAGE BOOKWORM.</p>
<p>Cornell's education is outstanding, especially in engineering. And from what I've read, they have the best literary criticism department in the country. So, that has to say something about their non-science and non-math offerings.</p>
<p>Cornell is an awesome school, period. All of the ivies are, and any ivy grad, cornell or not, is gonna have great opportunities.</p>
<p>yes, acceptance wise, cornell is the easiest ivy to get into~ i'm only talking about the general/avg accpce, because architecture is a different story than say... irl.</p>
<p>As others have expressed before, rather than saying Cornell is the "easiest" ivy to get into, it is more accurate to frame the statement as follows: Cornell accepts a significantly larger number of incoming freshman than other ivies accept. Also, it is distorted to lump all of Cornell's admits into one number as each of its seven colleges emphasize different factors for admission.</p>
<p>stop worrying about it. how many people DON'T go to the ivies and succeed?</p>
<p>Cornell's education, workload and professors are all just as good as any Ivy</p>
<p>It's small school vs. big school issue. Most other schools only has a liberal art college plus say an engineering school with total enrollment of 1500's a class. When you have about the same applicants say around 23,000. Small school of course will have a lower acceptance rate.</p>
<p>The smallest school in national level I think is the Rice with something like 800 a class. If they can boost their applicants to 23,000 a year, their accetptance rate will be 5.20% with yield rate of 67%. By then I suspect US News will rate them as number one:-)</p>
<p>you asked about guest lecturers ...click on <a href="http://www.cornellsun.com%5B/url%5D">www.cornellsun.com</a> and you'll read about an upcoming guest ...</p>
<h1>1 Architecture, #1 Hotel School, #1 ILR, #1 engineering out of the Ivies, one of only 2 accredited business programs in the ivy league, great in sciences...need I go on...</h1>
<p>The best ivy is all perspective</p>
<p>omg I got chills when I saw who the guest is going to be. Holy Crap!!! How much do you think they will be? And u think it'll be a -stay up till midnight to buy them- thing?</p>
<p>w/e who would want to see that guy</p>
<p>you forgot the "n't" at the end of your "would"</p>
<p>McCash, actually the smallest national research university is CalTech, there are 900 TOTAL undergrads and 1,300 grads</p>
