easiest Ivy to get into

Applying to College

<p>Ivies reject many many people who can pay full tuition.</p>

<p>Here's a fun fact about Cornell that I found out through extensive research. First off, keep this in context, Cornell is an Ivy, so no matter what it's hard to get into. But... Cornell loves ED, they love it love it love it. How do I know? Statistics don't lie, Cornell accepts 63%, yes thats right, 63% of those who apply ED. That, my friend, is ridiculous for an Ivy league school.</p>

<p>It's actually 40%...a lot of the other Ivies accept 30% or so for ED!...</p>

Could not find ED stats</p>

<p>ok, im tired of looking for the other ones, if another person wants to do it have fun, but most of the ED percentages are between 20 and 40%</p>

<p>Im sure you will find that most of the facts and figures among the ivies are roughly the same, showing that no one ivy is especially easy to get into</p>

25

<p>63% is outrageous! where did you find that?</p>

26

<p>It was actually 44% that year, the reported 63% was due to a typo in the number of applicants, as far as I know.</p>
