Is Cornell the easiest IVY to get into?

<p>good to know, weirdo brits...colour...trousers...put it in the boot... :)</p>

<p>well, it is realise here...We use 's' instead 'z'</p>

<p>Those videos are crazzzzy</p>

<p>imagine having a chair like that, you could really mess around with people</p>

<p>Btw, for ilr and hotel, the matriculation rates are so high because the kids are really focused on going to those programs, and because no other university offers a comparable program they really cannot go anywhere else. </p>

<p>Also, Cornell cannot really be compared to the rest of the Ivy League, since it is so different from most universities. The reason Cornell has a higher acceptance rate is because the colleges or schools at Cornell are independent of one another. Unlike Harvard or Yale, where you only apply to the college and then you can choose any undergraduate program, at Cornell you have to choose before hand. Thus, applying to Cornell is really like applying to a university within a university. Cornell is also strong at a wide array of things, meaning that it doesn't just concentrate on one single field (i.e. Harvard undergrad economics or government), thus Cornell has to accept around 700+ for each field. Therefore, Cornell's acceptance rate is higher. Another plus to Cornell is that the students are really campus oriented, unlike other universities where kids can go on their own in cities, at Cornell the university is everything, so kids are really into Cornell. </p>

<p>Therefore, Cornell is the full college experience, however, depending on the current acceptance rate is not a good thing to fall back on, as the acceptance is going to fall dramatically pretty soon, as the competition for colleges gets tougher, and more kids realize they have a better chance in getting in Cornell's larger class size while still getting an ivy league education. Seriously, people need to chill-ax with the whole who is the best in the Ivy League, after all who in the hell would go to Dartmouth for engineering, each Ivy League is different, remember that.</p>

<p>And the Ivy League is an athletic league.</p>

<p>Nice post, BTW, MUnited. Cornell is truly unlike any other institution. It combines all four forms of higher education in one location: a private university, a liberal arts college, a polytechnic institute and a public state university.</p>

<p>It obeys Ezra's credo and really tries to be all things to all people.</p>

<p>god… you know what annoys me
not the people asking where’s easiest to go
but those people who are just rambling about the fact that people ask that question
to me I think it’s a legitimate question to be considered, and just giving irrelevant replies that is not asked is just annoying</p>

<p>You know what annoys me?</p>

<p>When people revive a 3 year old thread.</p>

<p>^Well, ppl are always saying that instead of starting a new thread, use the search feature. So I don’t see what’s wrong with reviving an old thread. :)</p>

<p>…But no question was even asked.</p>

<p>CC is a place not just for questions but for thoughts, too.</p>

<p>That said, I agree with maruhan2.</p>

<p>It’s not a legitimate question. You want to know why?</p>

<p>The Ivy League schools should not be viewed as a homogeneous group.</p>

<p>No one, absolutely no one, should be applying to all of them.
There is no one major that they are all good in. </p>

<p>If you actually care about what major you are going into, and aren’t just a prestige whore, there would be no point to apply to all of the Ivy League schools.</p>

<p>Therefore asking which one is the easiest is a moot point.
The easiest to get into depends on your major and your situation.
So get off it! It’s over!</p>

<p>No, Brown is. can’t stand that school</p>

<p>It should be noted again in this discussion that the University of Chicago admits over 40% of applicants.</p>

<p>College of the Ozarks admits less than 10%. </p>

<p>Generally speaking, I’ll let you decide which is the better academic experience. (nothing against Ozarks). </p>

<p>Also generally speaking, Cornell is easier to get into than the other Ivies for a variety of reasons, but these schools are so different from one another it’s virtually impossible to compare places like Dartmouth or Brown to places like UPenn or Cornell.</p>

<p>Ozarks probably feels very smug about it.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The admission rate to UChicago is less than 27%. I don’t know where everyone’s getting their data.</p>

<p>Why would you even start a thread like this…
This kind of crap threads are utterly useless at everything except getting on people’s nerves and annoying the **** out of everyone.
And why the **** would you make this thread in a CORNELL forum???
What did you expect the answer to be?..</p>

<p>People really need to see that this thread is over 3 years ago and almost always there has been a topic on this every year because most CC users are uptight USNWR ranking obsessing losers.</p>

<p>Hey maruhan, thanks for resurrecting this, now go play in traffic.</p>

<p>heh…seriously why do you care? besides, cornell may have the highest acceptance rate out of all of the ivies, but it is the hardest to get out of. So yeah, instead of making your decision on something as incomplete and trivial as an acceptance rate, focus on the quality of the school.</p>
