[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All Ivies have a preference for in-state students.[/quote]

This. And true for others (Duke - Carolinas promise; Northwestern - backyard Chicago public school promise) - why is anyone surprised?[/quote]

Maybe true but Penn and Cornell are mandated to take a certain amount of students locally (Penn) and statewide (Cornell).[/quote]

Northwestern is as well, as part of their tax-exempt status.....and deal with the city of Chicago for their downtown campus.[/quote]

Please provide a citation, any citation, to something saying Cornell is mandated to take a certain amount of NYS students.  Undoubtedly, the land grant schools give some preference to NYS residents, but they seem intentionally vague on the degree to which that matters, and I've never seen anything from the non-State schools saying that.

Search the school newspaper[/quote]

So the answer is that you have no actual basis for saying that Cornell is MANDATED to take a CERTAIN AMOUNT of NYS students.  What amount is that exactly?  It is so, so hard some times to not conclude that many posters on this site are trolls[/quote]

lol
I found it in the newspaper. not that hard with google.
sheesh. 
maybe step away from your computer????[/quote]

So what's the amount?  And if you actually found it, tell us where.  Or is your point actually just that the land grant schools give an in-state preference of unknown dimension, which the entire world is already aware of.  You seem to be saying something more than that -- that there is a mandate for the private schools as well and that it's a specific number.  That is no where

Realize that there are people who come to this site to actually find useful information, to help them and their kids figure out where to apply.  When you throw out vague, incorrect information suggesting that the private schools have to give an in-state preference and/or that there is a particular number they are looking for, you are harming kids and their families -- or just wasting everyone's time.[/quote]
