<p>What monydad said is on point. We’re definitely dealing with limited information and guess work, and there is no way to change it. </p>

<p>Please don’t misjudge my opinion of Cornell. My opinion is positive. I do not put Cornell in the same corner with Lehigh. I just can’t figure out Cornell. I can’t really describe the atmosphere from our visit other than “grind,” which to me is not necessarily a bad thing, but it isn’t persuasive either. What we do know: it’s an Ivy and well known, all of the students are smart and some are briliant. It has worldwide name recognition (but so do the better Big Ten Conference public schools). The only thing the troubles me is how the university does not seem to have an identifiable character or personality that would be descriptive of say 90% of the student body and faculty other than “smart.” It doesn’t seem to be especially liberal or especially conservative; it’s not Greek dominated, but it’s not devoid of the Greek system. It feels almost conventional. A conventional university no different than say Shippensburg State except Cornell students are people with really high SAT scores. I know that’s an oversimplification, but I’ve admitted to struggling to put my finger on the school’s personality.</p>

<p>I do not believe that a “transfer option” is the same as a “GT”. Correct me if I am wrong. S got “transfer option” to HumEc. Nowhere does it say “guaranteed transfer”.
Is it just a play on words or are they 2 different things?</p>

<p>Cornell is a true university. It, in fact, played a key role in the shaping of the modern concept of collegiate university in the late 19th century. It is made up of 7 undergraduate colleges, and 6 post-graduate schools. Its mission is to make possible an exceptional education for any worthy student, in any study — and it is a world class research institution. This sets it apart from an LAC in terms of its breadth, diversity, and extensive educational options.</p>

<p>So, in a university such as Cornell, students find their way into sub-communities within their particular college; and socially, they find their way into one or two of the myriad extra curricular options that relate to their personal interests. Yet this is not to say that Cornell doesn’t have an overall character, which is set up by the beautiful campus on its rolling hills which all students roam in common, as well as by the interdisciplinary mission of the central administration of the school.</p>
