<p>I'm wondering if anyone here who applied to Cornell would turn them down [if you got in] and instead would select a non-Ivy school offering merit money? If so, what school and how much merit money would it take? For example, full tuition at Case Western or somewhere else? $10,000/yr at URochester? etc</p>
<p>No. I'm bound to Cornell anyway :D</p>
<p>NO ( theres nothing else to say but apparently a message has to be at least ten characters to go through so i'm ramboling)</p>
<p>Hell no (well, I have no choice, but if I weren't bound to Cornell, "hell no"). I know I'd regret not picking Cornell.</p>
<p>No, never. I'm going to have $40,000 in loans when I graduate, but it's worth it to me. Cornell is the ONLY place I want to go to college.</p>
<p>I dunno, if HYP were to give me a full ride for whatever reason, I'd probably choose them over the $0 Cornell's giving me.</p>
<p>Anything less though...no. And that's without the whole "I'm bound by ED" thing. Add that and...well, yeah, pretty obvious.</p>
<p>if i were being selfish : no
if i were thinking about family : yes</p>
<p>Case Western I would because I have good connections there but not some crappy state school that just wanted me because I had better PSAT scores than the people attending that school.</p>
<p>Heck no. It's the accepted part that I'm worried about.</p>
<p>ok it was still your PSAT score and you're still in 10TH GRADE. please stop posting about college and being worried, because you're making me upset.</p>
<p>I suggest you stop crying or go find a corner. You're a junior or senior or something I suppose since you are attempting to belittle me for being a sophmore. And people of that age should not be getting upset over dumb things.</p>
<p>ok you need to pull your nose out of the sky for 5 seconds and look at the big picture here. you are probably the only sophmore meaning the majority of the kids here have 2 years of experience over you. i suggest you take their advice and not be so defensive.</p>
<p>I would turn cornell down any day for Stanford or even Rice or Duke</p>
<p>I guess I don't need to be asking what colleges I can get into but people can give good advice on this website. I know other sophmores on here by the way, I'm not the only one.</p>
<p>oo not good. thats like running around boston with your body painted blue and white, wearing a yankees hat, and screaming "GO YANKEES"</p>
<p>I'm gonna do that one day, minus the painted body</p>
<p>I'm going to do that, naked, floating in the Charles River like a dead corpse.</p>
<p>^A little too graphic^</p>
<p>Word, Fish.</p>
<p>U rochester is not a crappy state school; it's not even a state school. And definitely not crappy at all.</p>
<p>Either way, I would never trade cornell for anything...</p>
