<p>^ i wasted my high school doing boring and challenging work. Does that count?</p>
<p>
Wow. I really am a terrible person.</p>
<p>Why are you posting insulting things for? Hey aren’t you the guy on the last Cornell post where everyone was attacking you? You seem to be very unpopular here.</p>
<p>
I thought it was silly that he took issue with your grammar, but you have to admit that there is a bit of irony in you responding to his posts about it with more bad grammar. Trust me, I do it a lot too.
Oh, you mean the same people (or person; many thought it was only one high school student with too much time on his hands behind multiple accounts) who were taking heat from other established posters that included alumni and fellow students in that thread and in others for defaming Cornell? Yeah, I guess I’m “unpopular” with them.</p>
<p>lol, internet popularity. this site is going to the dumps.</p>
<p>Haha this^. And yes, I’m a grammar nazi.</p>
<p>:(this thread is so mean. Mods, please close it… or somehow unsubscribe me to it. Why is everyone so rude/picky with each other?</p>
<p>I don’t think they routinely read everything, you need to “Report Problem Post” if you want their attention. This sub-forum has certainly been victim of a ■■■■■-fest recently, and it would be great if something was done about it. Perhaps more people need to elevate the issue.</p>
<p>no one really cares about grammar that much beyond high school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There you go again. I guess you can’t stand it either when you find out other people don’t share your opinion on certain things. I’m sure you and a couple other posters have already tried reporting problem post several times…and the mods see nothing wrong with a guy who’s playing the devil’s advocate cause he doesn’t like the way Cornell’s future looks. </p>
<p>Respect my opinion as I do yours. I don’t go around calling you ■■■■■ just because you seem to have a different view on certain things.</p>
<p>
</p>
<h2>Exactly.</h2>
<p>I wasn’t talking about you.</p>
<p>Should I have been?? By your raising this defensively as if I meant you, does that mean you feel you are in fact a ■■■■■? If so, you have company. Or other aliases.</p>
<p>As to your opinion, I dont agree. The other people here associated with the university don’t either. An improvement in CAS selectivity would make as much difference in the selectivity of the aggregate as an improvement in any of the other schools. You just have a prejudice regarding the other schools. Each school needs to improve to be as good as it can be, not just some of them. Because the competition is always striving to improve. Moreover, IMO each school is evaluated externally as its own entity more than as an aggregate. Engineers are not going to lose engineering jobs if Ag school selectivity drops 2%. They have to worry about the engineering school, regardless. If all the contract colleges get more selective, but CAS becomes less selective, CAS grads will not be better off due to the aggregate looking better, they will be worse off IMO.</p>
<p>All universities need to be improving themselves, and are seeking to do so. Whether or not they give their respective improvement programs fancy names. And all parts of the universities need to do so, lest they fall down in their own particular realms.</p>
<p>There is, actually,IMO, something wrong with “playing devil’s advocate” about it on a forum devoted to those making college decisions, because you are giving the impression that friction between the colleges is a big issue on campus when that is not the case. It may be your opinion but it is not a majority sentiment or something people need to be wary of if they attend. You stated your position,fine, but continued harping on it leaves the impression that it is a big prevailing concern there, when it isn’t. Therefore you are giving a false impression to prospective matriculants. Such conduct, inappropriately scaring people away, could drive up the admissions rate, improperly,due to inappropriately lowered yield, which would then lower the US News ranking, you should be against that if you are so worried about these things!!</p>
<p>■■■■■(s) often also keep posting the same divisive and disparaging points repeatedly, maybe that’s why some people accused you of same. I was not one of them though. Should I have been??</p>
<p>Amen, monydad.</p>
