<p>Sorry if this has been linked before, but I just came across this 4/22 article and I thought it was really interesting.</p>

<p>Thats a really interesting! I honestly didn't even know Cornell was an Ivy until like 2 yrs ago. It's a good school but I do think they need to do something if they want to be considered on the same level as the other ivies.</p>

<p>It is sad that Cornell, undoubtedly one of the best schools in the nation, continues to suffer from amour propre of other Ivy League schools and students who need Cornell (or often times Penn, or Brown) to justify their self worth.
Schools, whether public or private or Ivy or non-Ivy, should be valued by the type of education they can provide rather than how they play the admissions game.</p>

<p>^^^Very well put. And I can honestly say that if I had the choice, I would pick Cornell ILR over any other ivy program (maybe tied with Columbia...maybe)</p>
