<p>Burnnnnn on Cornell.</p>

<p>well it's true, u could also have put in columbia, dartmouth, brown, or upenn, hyp are at a higher tier.</p>

25

<p>Excuse me, stupak? Columbia and Princeton both admit only 11% of applicants.</p>

<p>For what it's worth, Stanford accepts 12%, Brown admits 15%, MIT accepts 14%. Wash U and Pomona, 19%. Cornell, 27%. Dartmouth, 17%. Penn, 21%. And of course, Harvard 9% and Yale 8.6%.</p>

<p>I see your point, though. HYP are at a different tier in terms of prestige. And if you look at the SAT scores of accepted applicants, HYP > Columbia. </p>

<p>Anyway, comparing admission percentages is moot. The number of applicants to each college is different, as is the number of available seats at each college. It's impossible to compare the percentages directly unless there is an equal ratio of applicants to seats at every college, which there isn't...And different people (and different quality pools of people) apply to every college, which just makes it even harder to compare selectivity...</p>

<p>Sorry for the pointless post :)</p>

26

<p>Yale and Columbia had the lowest and second lowest acceptance rates in the United states last year. Sorry to burst ur bubble comparing Cornell -> Columbia...</p>

27

<p>i'm really hoping that although the number of applicants went down, Yale will still want to accept the same numer of EA people for their class... i think it would be weird if they proportionately accepted less ...but i guess we'll have to wait and see.</p>

<p>truazn that's a very rude comment - burst my bubble? hah.</p>

29

<p>Ahh I don't know what to think :( I don't think it'll change anything significantly.</p>

<p>Yeah I gues its not worth overanalyzing.. i guess whatever happens... ainsi soit-il</p>
