<p>IS more easy to get in contract colleges as a NY resident?</p>

<p>There’s no data either way so it’s pure conjecture. NY residents are overrepresented in the contract colleges, as you’d expect. But, they are overrepresented in the applicant pool as well. Without data on IS acceptance rates vs. OOS acceptance rate or IS accepted SAT scores vs. OOS accepted SAT scores (and such data is not available), you really can’t tell.</p>

<p>Does your school get about 20+ People into cornell every year? If so, then yes - and this would pertain to you. Read somewhere that some NY schools get 50+ people into cornell every year. All we know is that there are a LOT of kids from NYC, long island, and the surrounding areas.</p>

<p>I heard a high school from NY get about 40 people into cornell but didn’t know which colleges</p>

5

<p>probably a good amount to the contracts because the contracts are pretty much obligated to take in more instaters.</p>

6

<p>The percentage of out-of-state students in the contract colleges has steadily grown through the years. For the Class of 2015, 53% of students in the contract colleges were from outside of NY State.</p>

<p>i think it is because last year in my school (in nyc), 60 students got into cornell out of 224 applicants. we are a very competitive high school so they were qualified, but i’m assuming that they are given an advantage</p>

<p>It’s actually 50.6% but yes it has been going up for a while now. 10 years ago it was only around 35% out of staters.</p>

<p>The overall OOS statistic Cornell-wide is 72%.</p>

<p>They were talking about contract colleges.</p>

<p>^ I understand that … was just offering some context.</p>

<p>Some of those high schools are among the best in the country and have incredibly self-selecting classes, so it’s not necessarily indicative of a lesser standard for NYS residents but also the academic and personal qualities of applicants from such high schools.</p>
