Cornell?!

Once you, or another PP, raise a sub-point in this thread, I am simply asking what's wrong with these so-called "guaranteed" paths that make Cornell so undesirable.

So you did have a point WRT Cornell. Is there a reason you did not say that before? Especially when asked specifically?

Also, name calling is never a good look.

Have a good day!

No dog in the Cornell fight. I was never smart enough to go there. Now you are scurrying around looking for a hole like a mouse.

PP here. I am going to let you be from here on because I clearly have difficulty with understanding your points, and all the animal kingdom metaphors.

Cornell is 12th in the world for producing Nobel laureates.

I think Cornell could improve it's sports programs. I'd think it would increase in prestige though academically from the international reputation and the NYC campus.

I think it is a point of pride for the Ivy League that they do not offer athletic scholarships but still compete on a decent level. Sports are an important hook for Ivy admission though.

Brown cut 11 sports in an effort to become "more competitive in the Ivy League."

OP why did you post? I don’t get it. You have a very narrow view of what top ranked universities should be like. Maybe let your kid figure out where to apply on their own and don’t jump in with your weird opinions. I did not go to Cornell but I know several people who did and they are all very impressive. I also work in a STEM field and Cornell can easily hold its own against all the top 10 schools in STEM. Their expansive campus means they have the space for top notch facilities. If you don’t like it, that’s fine but why put it down in such a meaningless way. It makes you sound dumb honestly.

Cornell has over 8000 STEM undergrads. The more than the TOTAL number of undergrads at 5 other Ivy League schools. Harvard has 7000 undergrads, Yale and Princeton around 6000.

Sounds like an education factory. Ycch!

There is a portion of DCUM posters who mistakenly believe SLACs to be worthier than established research universities with a worldwide reputation for excellence. I can only assume they are talking about the quality of undergrad instruction in terms of student-faculty ratio and level of handholding of said undergrads. Because in all other metrics, SLACS are to all intents and purposes completely invisible.

Ivy League sports do not compete on a decent level, they have no business being in D1, complete garbage.
