<p>Does being in-state increase your chances to the contract colleges?
(CALS, ILR, Human Ecology)?</p>

<p>This is an old thread, but I think it kind of summarizes the issue.</p>

<p>Basically, someone claiming to be in Cornell admissions says it doesn’t help. Others claim that it does.</p>

<p>Cornell’s Common Data Set (Question C7) indicates that State Residency is “considered”.</p>

<p>I mean, I heard from another source a while ago that the contract colleges need to comprise of atleast 25% NYS residents or something.</p>

<p>There is no preference for NYC residents. They just get receive a lower tuition, though this lower tuition significantly increases applicants to these colleges.</p>

<p>But they don’t set a quota on how many NYS residents to accept?</p>

<p>no… why would they? They are just required to give NYS students lower tuition rates. There is no quota for how many NYS students should be in the land-grant schools.</p>
