SUNY system and CALS

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>If I apply to CALS through the SUNY system, do I receive a SUNY diploma or a Cornell diploma? If I apply through Cornell, I'll obviously receive a Cornell diploma right?</p>

<p>Now, if I'm accepted into CALS through Cornell, do I still get reduced tutition for being from NY state? And will most of my classes be with SUNY kids? I'm a bit confused on the whole SUNY/Cornell relationship. Is the SUNY school a separate building that just happens to be on the Cornell campus or are SUNY kids that have been accepted into CALS actually taking CALS classes?</p>

<p>I do NOT want to interact with the SUNY kids for the sheer hatred of "STRONG ISLANDERS."</p>

<p>You get a Cornell degree AND reduced tuition...</p>

3

<p>^ Even if I apply to CALS using the SUNY application?</p>

<p>I don't believe you can do that. <a href="http://www.suny.edu/student/non_participating_campuses.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.suny.edu/student/non_participating_campuses.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>CALS is a land grant school of the state of new york, but I do not believe it is considered a "SUNY"</p>

6

<p>I was under that impression as well.</p>

<p>CALS is NOT a SUNY college. </p>

<p>You will not get a Cornell or a SUNY degree from CALS if you apply to CALS through SUNY because you won't get into CALS, since you CAN'T get into CALS through a SUNY app.</p>

<p>CALS is not a state school, it is a contract school. In other words, cornell is bound by the state to have the school or something like that, and then the state reduces the tuition. I don't know how it works: all I know is that it is part of Cornell, and not SUNY.</p>

<p>Despite a wag's comment, Cornell is not SUNY Ithaca --</p>

<p>Thanks for clearing that up. </p>

<p>So being a NY state resident is an advantage when applying to CALS right?</p>

10

<p>You just apply to CALS like every other school at Cornell. If you are from New York, the bursar charges you the appropriate tuition. And, yes you still get a regular Cornell degree.</p>

11

<p>not much of an advatnage since every top student in new york will most likely apply</p>

12

<p>So a Ivy League degree for the price of a state school -great!</p>

13

<p>Exactly agro... :)</p>

14

<p>Not fair! Ah, why didn't I apply to SUNY....</p>

15

<p>thatbigbadwlfy, you have to be a new york resident, so you are not eligible from MA.</p>

<p>Well...there is a bit of a tuition break even for out of staters of about 1100/year. <a href="http://www.bursar.cornell.edu/Tuition_and_Expenses2.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bursar.cornell.edu/Tuition_and_Expenses2.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
