<p>Is it easier to get into one of the state funded schools if you are from new york?</p>
<p>i don't know exactly. some people say yes, since historically, the deans have tended to make it 60/40 for in-state kids. but at the same time, this causes more kids from new york apply, which means that there's more competition for the spots. and this year, with the economic recession, cornell might want to get as much money as possible and in-state kids pay a lot less than out of state kids do for contract colleges.</p>
<p>that being said, i highly doubt that it will be the deciding factor on whether or not you get in.</p>
<p>Maybe in other years - but not this year. Look at the ED results; I think there was only one CCer who got into HumEc who was from NY, versus at least 5 OOS. NONE from NY for ILR, again versus 5 or so OOS. Maybe 3 or so from NY for CALS. </p>
<p>Then again, perhaps they took fewer NYers on purpose during the ED round to ensure their financial well-being and will take more during RD. Doesn't NYS require a percentage of Cornell contract students to be residents in order for the schools to get funding?</p>
<p>No its definatley harder, especially this year. Take heed from this years ED results.</p>
<p>While it may be true that Cornell is taking less NY students, we only have a small fraction of the results available to us. Not everyone that applied ED uses CC so we really don't know.</p>
<p>It was harder for my year also for my HS</p>
