Cornell's Ranking going up or down?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Looking at previous year's ranking on US News and Report, is Cornell's ranking likely to go up or down over the next several years/decade? I am unable to find the data on Cornell old rankings.</p>

<p>Why does it matter? Do you think the rankings can tell you anything about the quality of the education a school can provide to you?</p>

<p>Suggest decide what’s important to you, personally, and do your own “ranking” on those criteria.</p>

4

<p>Eh, I still think its an interesting question.</p>

5

<p>it will go up upon the entrance of the class of 2013 :)</p>

6

<p>While it certainly will unlikely to affect the quality of education that I will be receiving at Cornell, it will certainly affect other people’s perception of me down the road.</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>lol course it’ll go up :wink: or else…</p>

<p>I think this is a valid question. I know quality of education at Cornell is still going to be superb as always, but ranking is pretty important for other’s perception of the school. Afterall, college is a brand that stays with you forever…
so my answer is, yes cornell’s ranking is not likely to go lower than what it is now, but I cant see it going up much, I would say it will mostly stay within 8-14 in next 10 years or so. who knows though? penn used to be ranked worst before wharton came along</p>

<p>Well cornell engineering program ranking in the ivy league won’t go up :P</p>

<p>When I was picking which colleges to apply, I compiled a list of 50 colleges, and each with its grad school placement performance. I ranked them from the highest to the lowest. I covered up the names, and just applied for the top 20 schools (yes I applied for 20 schools).</p>

<p>After being deferred from Cornell, my top choice now is University of Chicago, which happens to be on top of my list. I would jump for joy if I get GT though. I do not want to pay $204,000 for my undergrad education (I did not apply for aid for Chicago). I can just afford $51,000 for one year and that’s it. XD</p>

<p>ranking is just one of many ways to judge a school
and imo, it’s not a very accurate depiction
if you are worried about how “it will certainly affect other people’s perception of you down the road,” i think an IVY LEAGUE school speaks for itself</p>

14

<p>well i’m about to graduate…so it should be going up within the next few years ;)</p>

<p>you could have done a forum search for this, but that would have been too dang hard now, wouldn’t it?</p>
