<p>I am planning to apply ed to human ecology and I'm from NJ. I know that HE is supported by NY and therefore might favor NY students. Will it be harder to get in as a NJ applicant?</p>
<p>No. You're on equal footing.</p>
<p>Being out of state is actually sorta better to being in a diverse class...the problem is that being from NJ isn't really going to bring THAT since it's in NY, but it sure won't really hurt.</p>
<p>
Oh no you didn't...</p>
<p>Well it's not like he's from some random western state or something lol</p>
<p>New York and New Jersey are nothing alike...!</p>
<p>For one thing, New York is known for its cities and rolling hills while New Jersey is a suburbophile's paradise.</p>
<p>any else agree with "equal footing"?</p>
<p>I do. I also think that the figures pointing out the large percentage of students coming from NY is deceptive. There are likely more applicants from NY because proximity and reduced tuitino, and therefore more matriculations per acceptance. It would be interesting to have statistics on yield rates for Cornell's state-supported schools compared to its fully privately-funded schools between NY and non-NY residents.</p>
