<p>I heard the reputation for schools of SUNY Cornell are worse than the private schools of Cornell... it wont look as good if you graduate from a school of SUNY Cornell....
additionally, on your diploma it will say "SUNY Cornell" if you graduate from a state school rather than a private school....
is this true?</p>
<p>there is no SUNY cornell... SUNY has absolutley NOTHING to do with Cornell... the contract schools just recieve some state funding, they aren't run by the state, all of Cornell's colleges are run by Cornell and only Cornell. So no, your diploma won't say "SUNY Cornell" if you graduate from one of the contract colleges.</p>
<p>lmao</p>
<p>completely wrong on ALL accounts.</p>
<p>are you sure?
a friend of mine just graduated from cornell last year and she said her diploma said: "State University of New York at Cornell"
is she lying? lol</p>
<p>why are some schools states funded and the others are not?
so all schools of Cornell have the same reputation (but depending on what you are going for, of course)?</p>

<p>Would this fact really dictate whether or not you go to HumEC or wherever you have a guaranteed transfer? I smell prestige monger.</p>
<p>" a friend of mine just graduated from cornell last year and she said her diploma said: "State University of New York at Cornell"

<p>i dont know what the fine print on the diploma says since I can't read half of it (it's that weird cursive/old-school type diploma font) ... but the top of every diploma says pretty clearly "Cornell University". </p>
<p>other than this possible discression, tun was right when he said those statements were completely wrong on all accounts.</p>
<p>False... it does not say SUNY anywhere.
It is, however signed by the dean of your college and the president of the university.</p>
<p>Oy veh...one of these threads...again...</p>
<p>Another friggin rumor I am getting really tired of hearing from friends is the suicide one. I've heard that so much lately. Why must rumors be so WRONG!</p>
<p>there is no SUNY Cornell.</p>
<p>From this</a> article in the Daily Sun:</p>

Despite what our opposition may chant at hockey games, Cornell University is not a state school, and neither are its specific colleges affiliated with New York State. Cornell has four statutory, or contract, colleges. They have a contract with the State University of New York system, but theyre still part of a private university. The contract colleges serve educational needs of the state and receive state funding, but SUNY has little control over admissions or academic standards. Legally, the contract colleges remain private, not public, entities. Of course, the entire state vs. statutory discussion inappropriately insults actual state schools, which are often excellent universities.

<p>I wouldn't say it is completely wrong. There's sorta a hierachy or ranking that you'll probably notice during your Freshman year when people are just getting used to Cornell.</p>
<p>fudgemaster, how so?
please elaborate...</p>
<p>there's a few on campus that think being in CAS is superior to all other schools. Unfortunately, i'm not sure where they get this assumption, maybe SAT scores?</p>
<p>CAS is typically ranked lower in comparison to the other majors that Cornell excells in. We had a nice thread on this a while back.</p>
<p>I was mainly referring to the stereotypes.</p>
<p>Hotelies probably have it the worst. Like you'll hear about how for their final for a course, they follow a maid around in the Statler, folding sheets.</p>
<p>Engineers are usually viewed as having big egos, since science is the only thing that's important in life.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say that CAS is superior to all of the other schools since a lot of the arts majors are thought to be super easy.</p>
<p>There's stereotypes for every school, but in the end a Cornell degree is a Cornell degree. I don't think employers really care about which school you attended at Cornell or know about any of these stereotypes, so it doesn't matter. I was just trying to comment about how the colleges aren't all viewed the same by Cornellians.</p>
<p>yeah, that'd be a good way of putting it.</p>
<p>btw
how can you check online if you are accepted or rejected?...
in the Cornell Application Status website? where it tells you the materials they have received?....</p>
<p>I think they took the link down. You should receive your decision in the mail though. Its almost a month.</p>
