<p>It is one of reasons why GCs try to keep relationship with many college reps. Those GCs make sure students do not violate the ED agreement, be truthful with reps, and gently make sure students do not always use a school as the backup.</p>
<p>Back in 2006, D2’s school had 7 kids apply to Cornell, 4 were admitted, 0 matriculated. Ever since then, 0 has been admitted, even students who were admitted to HYPS (could tell on the Naviance) were rejected. Last year 11 applied, 0 admitted. It is a school of 200 seniors. The school is in an urban setting with warm weather, most kids do not want to go to a school with cold weather and in the middle of no where. HYPS, Duke, Penn, and many other schools travel down to visit the school, but not Cornell. I don’t really blame Cornell, why go after students who do not want to be there.</p>
