<p>" Hmmm, I know people who did not get into Tufts but got into Michigan, Emory and Cornell… "</p>
<p>Yeah I get it you go to Tufts. That story is anecdotal, and once again selectivity does not correspond with educational quality. This isn’t the place for your insecurities.</p>
<p>The endowment per student idea is a nice one, but colleges really don’t spend the endowments on a per student basis and different colleges have different policies on how they spend it. Cornell uses a lot of its endowments for new facilities/buildings constantly - another reason why it doesn’t get extremely high. I agree that if they DO ever spend it though for more than financial aid it would make a difference. Also, Cornell does have a lot of students -> therefore, a lot of financial aid.</p>
<p>" From what I’ve heard (from a Cornell Alum) is that Cornell gets looked down upon because a lot of the students who graduate have “lower” income during their first 5 years after college. This is mainly due to the fact that they join the Peace Corps or Doctors w/o Borders though…"</p>
<p>Not true.

<p>Basically, the ivies are pretty comparable in terms of salary for graduated students outside of Harvard and Princeton (and Dartmouth, which is heavy, heavy on investment banking). Also, school quality is not directly correlated with salary either, so that should not be a metric of any sort.</p>
<p>Anyways, let’s move on because this sort of inflammatory thread attracts the worst types of people - insecure prefrosh</p>
