I'm always surprised (not surprised) when the very few programs in place to lower costs and/or expand access are mocked on DCUM. It costs 20k less, it must be bad. It's provincial.

I believe only New York State residents get reduced tuition at the contract colleges. Is that true?

Yes. Wish other colleges would also give a break to in-state kids, since colleges are usually getting a lot of state services for their no/limited tax payments.

But all that said, all colleges are Ivy even if we knew we were much smarter and worked a lot more than kids from some of the other colleges.

Engineers think this way everywhere. Not just a Cornell thing.

Because it is so true. E School is a grind for everyone, excepting maybe Dick Feynman.

There's no world in which someone can be smarter than an Engineer? What a world view! Not questioning the workload...but this is why you "guys" can be real pains.

Nobody said that. Hopefully you weren't an English major.

You can only apply as a NY resident and even then they have a sixth sense for people not serious about Human Ecology.

Wrong. My kid applied and was wait listed to human ecology. She is at Cornell now in Arts and sciences as a transfer.

What’s the best college for pre-med?

Engineering and A&S > rest of colleges

If he thinks he's a great fit for the school, and it would be his dream to go there, why not ED it? I think they just defer kids to RD if they're not totally sure at that point in time.

My daughter is heading to Cornell in the fall (hotel school) -- a similarly unhooked OOS applicant. I think the more specific schools have a narrower focus in admissions, and if he has a compelling story/reasons for applying to that exact program, he should take his best shot at making that clear in the college-specific essay.

Personally, I think all the specific schools are fantastic, and people who scoff at them are ignorant of Cornell's founding principle. Do all these CS majors and their parents eat food that has been grown in a field or served in a restaurant? Do they wear clothing? Read dietary labels? Stay in hotels on vacation? Take their dogs to the vet?

Johnson, which has a separate faculty, is barely top 15
