<p>Jocer: I would have had a (much) easier time getting into Cornell ED. The quality of Cornell applicants pales by comparison to those applying to Penn. This year, my school got 9 kids early and a bunch more regular into Cornell. Only 3 into Penn ED (one Wharton, two SEAS) and another 3 regular (only one of whom will attend…the other two are going to Princeton and Harvard).</p>
