<p>yeah this year in particular, since the overall number of Cornell application has surged to record numbers, you may be disapponted if u place a "safety school" label on Cornell.</p>
<p>Cornell a safety??? This sounds like the same bs started by that hotivywannabe the other day...</p>
<p>you guys don't understand a joke?</p>
<p>Perhaps it's only amusing to the most frequent posters on the Cornell board... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>ivy admissions are pretty erratic and don't correlate well with selectivity. you guys probably know several cases yourselves, but i knew people at brown who didn't get into cornell (even though brown's admit rate was less than half of cornell's in those days) and i know people at harvard who didn't get into brown even though harvard's admit rate is lower than brown's</p>
<p>generally, the ivy acceptee's have very similar stats. the only reason cornell has a higher admit rate is because they have a larger number of seats</p>
<p>Hahahahaha. 1370? You must be brilliant.</p>
<p>People.. This is a joke.... Read everybody else's sarcastic posts!</p>
<p>Does anyone else find it incredibly amusing that so many intelligent people can completely miss the main idea of a thread? Then again, weird things amuse me. :)</p>
<p>I'm really amused, Nicky. Or maybe we just spend too much time on here so we always know what is going on! :D</p>
<p>Haha, word. No life right here! :p</p>
<p>You guys are absolutely terrible at recognizing and giving out sarcasm.</p>
<p>That being said, maybe the original poster meant Cornell College.</p>
<p>"This whole thread is a joke"</p>
<p>I think that about sums it all. :)</p>
<p>Seriously congrats Nicky, cornell2009hotelie and amused ( to some extent) on accomplishing the REEALLY HARD task of noticing the sarcasm .</p>
<p>btw theres a cornell college? </p>
<p>btw i just wanted to see how many people here had a sense of humor :) ( guess you people are stupid or you are worrying too much! )</p>
<p>I was really tempted to write " oh really am in trouble now? " but looking at the majority of responses, I thought I better confess before mattes got too heated!</p>
<p>count me had... sarcasm on a chat board is just not my forte... I'm working on it though... here - I'll try one of your nifty acronyms...LOL</p>
<p>It ain't that bad getting old... </p>
<p>Wharf</p>
<p>" I <3 Nomad " - Cornell2009hotelie</p>
<p>If you are a guy ( which i think you are ) eaasssy there. If you are a girl , keep up the the love!
:)</p>
<p>COincidently this is the second time i have heared this said to me in the cornell forum :D</p>
<p>btw others didnt you notice my sarcasm by the reply to the second post?</p>
<p>I am a girl :mad:</p>
<p>Didn't most people realize that by now?</p>
<p>Isn't Cornell college in iowa or something? Anyway, its really hard to demonstrate sarcasm in text. For instance: </p>
<p>Paris Hilton is one of the finest actresses of our generation.</p>
<p>See, it's hard to tell whether or not i'm being sarcastic. (Which in this case I am, or am I?)</p>
<p>That's why it's always good to add one of those j/ks or lols or rotfls. So everyone knows whats up. By the way, I am actually the pope.</p>
<p>damn it, let this ****ing thread die</p>
<p>haha why??don't hate on it...embrace it. love it. :D</p>
<p>yep and cornell2009hotelie my sincere apologies for mistaking youur gender. it was wrong of me to judge like that!</p>
<p>no sarcasm intended !!</p>
