Cornell's in-state preference is real

I thought the same thing. WTF?

You would expect in-state with 'in-state tuition' to have a higher enrolled rate....and residency enrollment.

All Ivies have a preference for in-state students.

This. And true for others (Duke - Carolinas promise; Northwestern - backyard Chicago public school promise) - why is anyone surprised?

Chicago private school here.
approx 8-10% of our graduating class is admitted to Northwestern every year. A much smaller number enrolls though.

Our very large, well regarded suburban DC public school has had maybe 1-2 acceptances to Harvard and 0 to MIT in the past four years. If it's one NYC's versions of TJ, and those kids are mostly going to Cornell's (private) engineering school, it's not a very useful post, but whatever your school is, it has better results all around than any public HS I've seen around here

Maybe Stuy? Or Horace Mann?

A Cornell degree is a Cornell degree. It makes no difference which college one went to. It's an ivy!

For premed, why wouldn't you go to Agriculture or Human Ecology rather than Engineering?

Maybe true but Penn and Cornell are mandated to take a certain amount of students locally (Penn) and statewide (Cornell).

Duh. But the experience is different at a small Ivy or SLAC focused on undergrads. You missed the point.

All other ivies combined accepted 160 kids in 4 years from said school, Cornell alone accepted 315.

About 16 times higher chance of acceptance compared to other ivies.

There is no "cap" for high school.

The number for Brown is higher than I’d expect for Stuy. It implies a private school and parents with money.

It’s someplace in the NYC area though.

In the long, cold winter, I'd rather have more students on campus.

Cornell is Penn and Dartmouth combined, is it that awful? No really.

Explicitly told by whom?

Yes, because half of Cornell’s colleges are NY state schools. I don’t know why this is a surprise to some people.

My NY suburban high school sent around 20 kids to Cornell every year. Usually one to Harvard and one to Yale, and every few years someone got into Princeton or Brown.
