My final point: although it is possible that Cornell A&S is similar in selectivity to Penn CAS, the state schools at Cornell undeniably detract from its prestige as a whole, and this absolutely jades students otherwise interested in their offerings.

<p>Oh my God where did you get this? I thought state schools are what enhance Cornell's prestige overseas! I think we're both glad that you're not at Cornell. Everyone's happy.</p>
<p>Cayuga is correct when he says approx 50% of Penn's enrolment comes from ED. The exact percentage is 47%. Please reread what he says. </p>
<p>Penn</a> Admissions: Incoming Class Profile</p>
<p>I am applying for CALS as primary and CAS as secondary, but on the record it will probably only show CALS.</p>

Penn has a vested interest in withholding individual admissions data: the two smaller smaller schools, Engineering and Nursing, which together have 500 students per class, would suffer horribly in admissions. It is a well-known secret that they are somewhat less selective, and to release that data could effectively destroy the gains that they have made. Seriously.

<p>The publically funded colleges at Cornell are not as stats-focused, and yet they still release all of their data.</p>
<p>Oh and I don't really want to belittle Penn because it is a great school, but three of my friends applied for Penn just for Wharton.</p>
<p>I just wish to clarify several things.</p>
