[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory js more prestigious than CALS, IMO

Remember that CALS is one of the land-grant schools, making it [b]more like a state university in terms of admission practices[/b].[/quote]

How so?

Do they have requirements for % in-state? Is it more difficult as OOS applicant?[/quote]

What does it mean to be a land grant school?[/quote]

Cornell is a private university made up of multiple “colleges.” Some were developed with private funds and some were developed with public funds from NY state. As such, [b]those specific colleges favor NY residents[/b] and offer a lower “in-state” tuition. Students from outside of NY apply and are accepted to those schools. They pay full tuition.

At Cornell, CALS—College of Agriculture & Life Sciences—is one of the land grant schools. So are ILR—Industrial Labor Relations—and [b]Human Ecology[/b].  [/quote]
Favor in which way? The policy of Cornell's College of Human Ecology, for example, is to "[admit] the most competitive and compelling candidates regardless of residency."

Correct. However when it comes down to candidates with the SAME qualifications, the NY state resident will have an edge, just as a legacy might have one.

Here is what my friend Chat has to say: While not a guaranteed quota, NY resident applicants to these colleges may receive a "second look" or have a slightly higher chance of admission compared to out-of-state applicants with similar qualifications.[/quote]

You blindly trust what chat says?

Lol
