<p>Hi, just a quick question:</p>
<p>Does applying to the Cornell ILR school from out of state effect one's chances of getting in at all?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone :)</p>
<p>No I don’t believe so. The only difference would be that if you were to get in a decide to come to Cornell, you’d still have to pay out of state tuition instead of in state.</p>
<p>@kittydog35, ILR, ALS, and HumEc (I applied to HumEc) are contract/land grant/statutory colleges and it is rumored that it is slightly easier to get into if you are a NY resident. Of course that may or may not be true, I’m OOS (Connecticut) and if you are as well, there is not much we can do about it if NY residents get an edge.</p>
<p>Oh, and for whatever reason, these schools seem to like to accept NY state transfer students. It is actually quite a good deal for a NY resident if he/she went to say a NY community college or even the SUNY system for a year or two (both quite affordable) and then transferred to Cornell…at in-state tuition. </p>
<p>I would not say that it is harder per se, but I do believe that the land-grant colleges (ILR is one of them) need to accept a certain number of NY state residents, NY state community college transfers, etc. This is one of the stipulations of the contract between Cornell and the legislature of New York State; just as UConn needs to accept a certain percentage of its students from the state of Connecticut, so too does ILR, CALS, etc. need to accept a certain number of NY students, although to a much lesser degree. I am currently in ILR and know a ton of students who are from all different parts of the country. I would not worry about being “out of state” at all as long as your stats are good. </p>
<p>@shockastrika83 does ED help a lot for ILR? Did most of the students you know get in through Early Decision?</p>
<p>@mattmets24 In 2012, 33% of ED applicants were admitted to Cornell, versus 15% admission for regular decision. I’m not sure about the ILR school in particular, but If ILR is indeed your first choice, then I don’t see why applying ED would hurt. </p>
<p>It would be interesting to see what are the stats of NY admitted students (included transfers from NY community colleges and SUNY) vs. non-NY admitted students, because they are likely not the same (just the reality, only time in my life that I wish I lived in NY rather than over the border in CT, still hopefully optimistic I’ll be admitted to CHE).</p>
<p>I have done extensive search on what shockastrika posted about those schools need to take in X number of in state students, and I haven’t seen any evidence of it. As a matter of fact, I think out of state applicants may get a slight edge because of higher tuition. If shockastrika could share any documents to support his view, I would love to see it.</p>
