As somebody with Cornell family, I think Cornell really needs to do this.

Cornell is quite dissimilar to the other Ivies.  That is a neutral statement.  With its history of egalitarian admittance and its continued state school status plus specialized colleges, it has different student needs from Harvard and Yale.  Even disregarding the legacy issue, Cornell would be poorly served by just accepting other Ivy rejects just because it is an Ivy.  Many kids only apply to it because it is an Ivy.

Also, high stats engineering and CS applicants are incredibly generic on paper.  AIs could create these student portfolios.  Since Cornell is thought to be especially good at engineering, I'm sure that worsens the generic applicant issue.  If you ever listen to admin officers talking about their most memorable essays...and the topics seem like quirky b.s....those quirky essays work because the AOs are subjected to so much "same same".[/quote]
