<p>sorry this may sound unrelated but I am applying to Cornell. :)</p>
<p>The thing is adides, a big risk of "allocating" students to different colleges is the risk of not getting accepted anywhere. Ivy leagues dont really need Indians because there are already too many of them in their universities. The idea behind "diversity" is to attract students from countries like ummm Ethoipia and Iceland or even more african americans and hispanics.</p>
<p>Thanks for the welcome everyone!</p>
