Low enrolling compared to the others.

I've always felt Cornell had more a 'state university' feel than an Ivy or SLAC. It's also large--undergrad enrollment the size of UVA.

+1

also, total new undergrad population

If it's one NYC's versions of TJ, and those kids are mostly going to Cornell's (private) engineering school, it's not a very useful post, but whatever your school is, it has better results all around than any public HS I've seen around here

Not necessarily. I went to Stuy, as did my niece. Many kids go to non-engineering schools at Cornell. Her friends went to ILR and Arts and Sciences, I was Hum Ec for Human Biology & Health.

Must be one of the NY specialized high schools. Or this may be a 3 years worth of data.

Same for Penn…they must accept certain number from Philadelphia area

Yes, the land grant schools within Cornell are considered public schools. If you are a resident of DC, your kid could use TAG money to pay tuition if they enroll in one of the “public” colleges at Cornell.

You’re *mixing*

Yes my DS went to Cornell as a transfer to Arts and Sciences after being rejected (he was waitlisted) from Cornell out of high school to a NY school at Cornell. Was explicitly told would have gotten admission had he been in state.

I think someone is posting their own school’s Scoir or naviance data? For some reason?

Take a look at this NY in-state school's four year matriculation.
