Tell me you’re clueless about academia without telling me you’re clueless about academia. You don’t have any facts; you just took one glance at US News and made a guess. |
Academia doesn't really decide whose in or not. If they did Reed would still be a top school. Academia is much slower to change than public perception. |
What??? Reed, a tiny liberal arts school, isn't even an afterthought in academia. You really don't know what you're talking about. |
| Don't see how you can argue Cornell being on the rise. But PP is right Vanderbilt,Brown, Emory, Columbia are the schools students talk about a lot. |
My DC chose Mendoza at Notre Dame for business over Emory Goizueta, Vanderbilt Econ, Brown Econ. |
Emory and Vanderbilt I could understand, but ND over Brown is an... interesting choice. |
Cornell, Vandy, Brown and Columbia are definitely hot. Don't know where all this Emory boosterism is coming from, though. |
Apps for Cornell are down, y'all lie on here a lot. Emory and Notre Dame had the highest increase in early apps this year within the top 25. 20 and 13 percent increases. Emory doesn't need boosterism... Whatever that means. |
Why are you lying? Cornell apps are up. https://cornellsun.com/2021/08/25/cornells-class-of-2025-sees-lowest-acceptance-rate-in-recent-years-sets-records/ Cornell, along with Stanford, purposefully doesn't partake in the admissions arms race, as it sees no need to aggressively bring its numbers down in the same way that schools like Emory, Vandy and ND feel like they need to. |
Cornell went test blind last year. That doesn't count, what are the early numbers this year? |
So you're lying. Apps are up, not down. |

Last year was the most selective year on record for all top schools except Cornell. Before the pandemic apps to Cornell dropped considerably. |
Sorry your kid got rejected. |
| Every time someone says something not so savory about Cornell, the whole thread is derailed. |
You have no idea what you are talking about. |
