<p>We all know it's pretty easy to get into Cornell, compared to other ivies. Is there also a similar drive for grad. schools?</p>
<p>Cornell has many top graduate programs, like med and law, and they have the best engineering program of the Ivies. In fact, it is harder to get into than Ivies with weak graduate programs like Brown and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>It depends on which kind of graduate school you're talking about. Clearly, Cornell Law is probably the easiest law school to get into of all the Ivy Law schools (it probably ranks something like Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Penn, then Cornell). Cornell is one of the easier Ivy business schools to get into - Harvard Business School is the hardest, then Penn/Wharton, then Columbia and Dartmouth/Tuck, then it's Cornell and Yale (I'm not sure which is more difficult to get into for B-school, Cornell or Yale, for they're pretty close). As far as med, clearly Cornell is easier to get into than Harvard Medical, Yale Med, Columbia, and Penn, but easier then Dartmouth Med and probably easier than Brown Med to get into (although Brown Med this year decided to accept regular med-school candidates as opposed to only combined BS/MD Brown students, so it remains to be seen how difficult it will be to get into Brown Medical as a normal med-school candidate). </p>
<p>For other programs, again, it depends on the program. Cornell engineering is arguably the most difficult to get into of all the Ivy engineering programs.</p>
