| Some of Cornell colleges are "New York Contract Colleges". Is there a preference to New York residents? I am being told by some people yes and some people. My kid is waitlisted and is not in-state. Kind of garbage if true. |

| Yes, because they also are receive state funds. Not garbage, just taxpayer benefits. |

| I know they get lower tuition. But do they also get admission benefit? |

A quick google search brought me to this article in the Cornell Sun:
https://cornellsun.com/2018/11/06/a-look-inside-how-cornell-accepts-its-students/ In the three contract colleges at Cornell — CALS, Human Ecology and the ILR School — which are partially funded by New York State, being an in-state resident can give the applicant an extra edge. Tan said that when the contract colleges look at two applicants who are both “great,” the one from New York “might get another look. |

| And why would that be "garbage"? If you look at the mission statements for those programs, at least some of them talk about having a special connection to NY. And as posted above, they get money from the SUNY system. |

| They are part of the state university system. Why is that any worse than instate applicants getting priority at UVa or Michigan? |

| "Kind of garbage if true" Such an entitled statement. They are a NY land grant university. It is part of their charter and they also get state funds. |

| It is garbage because it is not a state school. Can't be hybrid. |

PP, that's monumentally wrong. Cornell is a hybrid. It's a New York State law. Cornell is established under a special NYS law that governs this issue and other issues. Check things like this before making postings that mislead people. https://law.justia.com/codes/new-york/2013/edn/title-7/article-115/ A statutory college's faculty and admin personnel are employees of Cornell. Each statutory college is responsible to the Regents of the University of the State of New York in addition to the President, Provost, and Trustees of Cornell. The Regents have certain rights to approve/reverse Cornell trustee decisions relating to the statutory college and have all kinds of consent rights regarding that statutory college. Cornell isn't the only one. Alfred University is strictly private but it is the contract sponsor, paid for by SUNY, of the NYS College of Ceramic Engineering. Syracuse is strictly private but it is the contract sponsor, paid for by SUNY, of the NYS College of Forestry. |

Well it is. I don’t understand why you’re so angry about it. |
