<p>Jesus, FBI, I just looked at your stats. You don't deserve to peruse these boards. Go back to IU's forum...</p>
<p>Cornell has the best science program in the ivies, no doubt about it.</p>
<p>"and #1 for quantity of programs available"</p>
<p>Definitely.</p>
<p>"Jesus, FBI, I just looked at your stats. You don't deserve to peruse these boards. Go back to IU's forum..."</p>
<p>bongoboy, don't bong people because of their stats. Do you go to Cornell? My guess is that you'll be bonging somewhere else next year. By the way, we do a lot more studying than bonging at Cornell.</p>
<p>No, he'll be 'bonging' at Cornell.
hahahahahaha.</p>
<p>I was accepted ED, North Dakota.</p>
<p>Just because you got accepted, it doesn't mean you'll necessarily do well. I know some people here with 1550+ on their SATs that were forced to take a leave of absence due to their abysmal grades.</p>
<p>When did this discussion turn toward me? Someone was making derogatory comments about the Cornellians defending and promoting our school and I confronted him. I love Cornell and I really don't need this brand of criticism.</p>
<p>And fugdemaster, that was a fairly gratuitous comment. When did I brag about my ability to do well at Cornell? Some idiot doubted my ability to get into Cornell and I corrected him. You're just picking an argument with a student who was defending CORNELL.</p>
<p>Sorry about that... most people do well here. As long as you try, you will do okay. What I meant to say was that getting into Cornell doesn't guarantee you success. The students that fail are the ones that don't really go to class or study.</p>
<p>does cornell have a good economics department?</p>
<p>Definately YES. Compeditive but a great program</p>
<p>which ivy do you think is the best at getting kids into law/med school</p>
<p>IMO, getting into med school and law school depends on the student's intellect and drive to succeed, not the school.</p>
<p>An article was published in the Wall Street Journal on Sept. 26, 2003 ranking which colleges send the most students to elite medical, law and business schools. Their rankings and "feeder score" are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li> Harvard 21.49%</li>
<li> Yale 17.96%</li>
<li> Princeton 15.78%</li>
<li> Stanford 10.70%</li>
<li> Williams 9.06%</li>
<li> Duke 8.61%</li>
<li> Dartmouth 8.45%</li>
<li> MIT 7.75%</li>
<li> Amherst 7.66%</li>
<li>Swarthmore 7.44%</li>
</ol>
<p>They ranked the Top 50, so if you have a specific school in mind, I can look it up.</p>
<p>P.S. Cornell was ranked #25 with a feeder score of 3.23%</p>
<p>I saw that too. But it said Princeton was first and smallest most elite put Harvard second and Yale third and your numbers dont tell the whole story. nice try.</p>
<p>This whole debate about which colleges are the most prestigous is nice and all, but keep in mind that where you go to college doesn't define who you are and how successful you will be in life. Steve Jobs dropped out of Reed College. Okay, I just thought I should point out the obvious once again :) .</p>
<p>i read that article (WSJ) actually, although i don't quite agree w/ their criteria for coming up w/ that list... i kinda have the opinion that the "easier" ivies, i.e. brown are the best since it gives u the chance to get the best gpa</p>
<p>Couldn't it be that the students just work harder at those schools? Maybe instead of the schools "feeding" elite schools it has more to do with the effort on the part of the students.</p>
<p>A lot of it probably has to do with the MCAT and LSAT scores, since these seem to carry about half the weight (my guess) of getting into a top grad school.</p>
<p>Actually Harvard is the easiest Ivy.</p>
<p>As someone at an Ivy grad school in my experience the list is spot on accurate.</p>
