here's some cornell info

Applying to College
1

<p>This past admissions season, Cornell received 30,382 applications from students across the world, of whom 6,229 were accepted, 3,223 were waitlisted and 18,419 were denied admission.</p>

<p>?Overall, it?s a highly talented group of students, as you might expect,? said Doris Davis, associate provost of admissions and enrollment. ?As the information indicates, the academic quality of the students who were offered admissions to Cornell remains very high.?</p>

<p>The admissions rate is 4.2 percent lower than last year and 5.7 percent lower than two years ago. Additionally, Cornell saw an 8 percent increase in applications since last year and a 24 percent increase from two years ago.</p>

<p>48.2 percent of the admitted students were females and 51.8 percent were male, according to Davis. The mean SAT verbal score was 700 and the math mean score was 720. 92 percent ranked in the top 10 percent of their graduating class.</p>

<p>I don't think cornell is the easiest ivy to get in anymore. Considering the fact that cornell has 7 colleges and cornell's art and science is harder to get in and thus will have higher stat and lower acceptance rate than this.</p>

<p>It's still the easiest.</p>

3

<p>It's still an Ivy too - don't try to underscore that fact.</p>

4

<p>it's the reject ivy for people who want to say they went to the ivy-league.</p>

<p>I find it extremely pathetic for Arts and Sciences kids to distance themselves from the other colleges at Cornell just because the acceptance rate for CAS is a few percent lower and the SAT score may be 50 pts higher. Be proud to be a Cornellian. Cornell's Hotel and Arch schools may not have the highest scores in the school but they are tops in their respective fields.</p>

<p>Sometimes CC is a great resource and the people here are very helpful and intelligent. Other times they are prestige-hungry ravenous oafs... thankyou for demonstrating type 2.</p>

<p>trackstar23 - I've seen many of your posts, and I hate you more each time.</p>

<p>The thing i find funny is...</p>

<p>30,382 applied, 6,229 were accepted, 3,223 were waitlisted and 18,419 were denied admission, but..</p>

<p>6229 + 3223 + 18419 = 27,871 and change...where'd the other 3 thousand go? perhaps guarenteed transfer offers?</p>

<p>So...your point is? I got in, turned it down because I was actually hoping for the hotel school but I really had no shot at it. Its a pretty intense place and I dont want to jump off that bridge.</p>

9

<p>you do realize that their are thousands of people who apply to cornell because they love the school and really want to go there</p>

<p>Well good for them. They can have my spot. Im the good guy.</p>

<p>If you got in, you must have gotten into the hotel school as well, unless you didn't apply to it, which then doesn't make any sense to apply to Cornell. Unless you thought an internal transfer is easier.</p>

<p>I got into the college of Arts and Sciences. I did want to appply for the hotel school, but my college consuler said it would be a huge reach for me...so...I didnt.</p>
