<p>I actually think Caltech and MIT should belong to a different category of school. More like Caltech, MIT, Harvey Mudd, Olin and few others.</p>
<p>I read that altho tickets go on sale soon, there will be a day in August, I think during orientation, when there will be tix available only to the Cornell community</p>
<p>Ticket’s for the Dalai Lama’s public speaking events in Ithaca go on sale to the public online May 23, according to the Namgyal Monastery’s website. A limited number of tickets for the event at Cornell will go on sale Aug. 15 to members of the Cornell community only.</p>
<p>In April, the Namyal Monestary announced that the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso, will visit Ithaca Oct. 9 and 10.</p>
<p>He will host three public events: a lecture on world peace at Barton Hall in the afternoon on Oct. 9; a talk on praying and world peace in the morning on Oct. 10 at the State Theatre in downtown Ithaca; a teaching on Buddhist texts in the afternoon on Oct. 10 at Ben Light Gymnasium at Ithaca Collee.</p>
<p>All proceeds benefit the Namgyal Monestary, a not-for-profit organization, and fund the Dalai Lama’s trip to Ithaca.</p>
<p>Tickets will be available for purchase at namgyal.org.</p>

<p>Ya I read all that...my question was about price (anyone have any clue?) and whether people thought they would go on sale at midnight. Thanks!</p>
<p>my son '07 is arriving home in about an hour for his sister '11 high schhol grad...will ask him if he knows...</p>
<p>this is sooo exciting!!! He’s one of those people I have always wanted to see…lol I’ll be definitely checking for those tickets! <a href="http://www.namgyal.org/bridging/tickets.cfm%5B/url%5D">http://www.namgyal.org/bridging/tickets.cfm</a></p>
<p>i mean, sure there are a lot of incoming freshman, but you have to look at the individual schools and their requirements. Arts and Sciences especially has become more selective and had quite a low acceptance rate this year</p>
<p>So if the one in Ithaca is on world peace and praying while the one at Cornell is about world peace do u think there will be major overlap? I was planning on trying to go to both but I don't want them to be the same. I'm not sure what to do now...esp cuz I don't know how Cornell is distributing tickets...</p>
<p>nowayjose: Do you know what CAS's acceptance rate was this year ?</p>
<p>What about CALS?</p>
<p>None of those stats will be out until mid summer. Like august or so.</p>
<p>But it is safe to predict they will hover from 15-25%.</p>
<p>For CAS, it was somewhere in the mid to high teens i bet</p>
<p>Education is just as good.. but in my interview which I talked to a Cornell Alum, she said that the access to industry is relatively not as easy because of its location... Another Penn Alum told me that in the years when the economy is sluggish, many companies just choose to visit the schools that are more convenient and accessible-- so again, problem of Cornell's location. </p>
<p>But if you ask me, I would say since Cornell has many specific schools, a lot of great companies would look for talented people in that area at Cornell, unlike HYP, where employers just go there and look for generally smart people. </p>
<p>However.. I'm only talking about the access to industry right after you finished your undergrad degree. If you're getting a master degree then it's different. Ultimately, it's your talent that determines whether you can get a good job, and Cornell will be a great place for you to explore your potential.</p>
<p>According the Wiki article: "In 2006, the most selective undergraduate college was the College of Arts and Sciences, which admitted only 14.6% of applicants." I'm not sure what it means by 2006, c/o 2010 or 2011. But if does reflect last year's stats then you can be confident that it will be a bit lower this year. Makes a man proud. ;-)</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Cornell and never even visited, but a lot of my friends applied, and I'd just like to say that it does have the reputation of being the "easiest" Ivy, but its admissions are <em>highly</em> selective and pretty random, just like the other Ivies. One of my friends was accepted EA at Stanford, accepted RD at UPenn, waitlisted at Harvard, and rejected at Cornell.</p>
<p>Wat was ur friend's major?</p>
<p>I heard Cornell has some 2,000+ student intro classes.</p>
<p>my friend's major is business. he got into wharton but not cornell.</p>
<p>Wharton is a crap shoot, period. It's not a benchmark of acceptance for any school. So, comparing Cornell acceptances to Wharton acceptances is not exactly fair.</p>
<p>Wow that's crazy though! Wharton is the top dog so they must have been looking at something different than AEM!</p>
<p>The most populous class is into-psych because the professor is absolutely amazzzzzing and everyonnnnne wants to get in. So that is over a thousand people just because everyone wants to take it.</p>
