<p>It would be low considering Cornell gets the most applicants in the ivy league.</p>
<p>Ya pretty much SUNY can put a picture of Cornell in its catalog...but nothing too big besides that lol. Every single college is part of Cornell and run by Cornell. period.</p>
<p>cornell is unique in that it offers a wide array of classes and majors that you can't get at many of the other ivys. if someone truly had a passion for say hotel administration (which is ranked #1) why would they choose dartmouth. this would make you better prepared and the employer will know which school provides better students in each respecive field. the saying that cornell is 'the ivy you go to when you can't get into others' is completely ridiculous and the people who say so are ignorant.</p>
<p>Ya they r #1 in quite a few colleges/majors...which means that its better than all the other ivys in these areas...even <em>shock and awe</em> Harvard! lol. But ya, much love to Cornell</p>
<p>Attended Cornell for undergrad, went on to Harvard Med/MIT-HST MD/PhD program. Got involved in med school admission while @ HMS. From that experience, I can tell you that Cornell is definitely not considered a lesser Ivy, especially considering its rigorous curriculum. Cornell engineers are viewed very favorably to HYP grads. I am very happy with my Cornell education, as well as my HMS and MIT education. "Cornell is a lesser Ivy" is not something I've heard while in med school or in real life as a physician. It is a misconception perpetuated at this forum, perhaps due to Cornell's current higher acceptance rate than other ivies? When I applied for undergrad (1991), Harvard had an acceptance rate of about 20%, Cornell @ 30%, while UPenn @ 50%. The acceptance rates tend to fluctuate from decade to decade, so it should not be taken as a guage for academic excellence. I can say that the vast number of courses that I took @ Cornell along with friends that I made from a diverse group of people helped me tremendously along my career. I loved my experience @ Cornell, and would not have chosen to attend another school.</p>
<p>wow if only those were the numbers nowadays..i wish</p>
<p>Be happy you're getting an education. If you look at the general population of the entire world then only a few are privilaged enough to get a college degree. For the people who consider Cornell a "lesser Ivy" or even try to compare Ivy schools: go get a life.</p>
<p>haha...^^^you said it right! Cornell offers some magnificent programs...every school has its own specialties and it’s irrational to compare them…</p>
