[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people picking Cornell are prestige hunters. Hopkins is the undisputed king of pre-med. I also know so many boring, unacademic kids at Cornell who ED’d there looking for instant prestige. Hopkins will not admit someone like that.[/quote]
How?

Cornell admits 30% of the class ED.  Hopkins admits 60% of the class ED, and has ED2.

Cornell admits a ton from waitlist (over 10% of class with 388 students waitlisted students admitted out of 3500 freshman enrolled) and also offers guaranteed transfer.  It's worse than Hopkins and less selective from an acceptance rate and freshman profile perspective. https://irp.dpb.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/CDS-2024-2025-v6-print.pdf

Meanwhile Hopkins admitted 30 people from waitlist out of 1390 enrolled freshman.

Hopkins has always been a tougher admit.[/quote]

825 out of 1390 comes from ED binding for JHU. While for Cornell 1161 out of 3500 is from ED. 60% vs 33%. Plus the school size is 2.5 times larger for Cornell. If you are worried about over enrollment, strategy might be to take a little less in RD and access the waitlist. The schools are different and to each to their own reason behind choosing. [/quote]
