The current President of Cornell is from Michigan.

Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, and Northwestern. 4 of the 14 schools in the BIG don’t have an agricultural college. it’s not almost all.




I was unaware that Elizabeth Garrett from USC died from cancer after only about 7 or 8 months in her role as President of Cornell University. Cornell then returned to recruiting former Big Ten officials to fill the role of President.

Isn't the point that Cornell is the only Ivy with a College of Agriculture ? Clearly, almost all (10 out of 14) Big Ten schools have a college of agriculture. (If you prefer, substitute "most" for "almost all" .)

Why would you post something so obviously wrong that you could find in 30 seconds? I can take one guess...


Northwestern’s ED rate is 60%, Cornell’s ED rate is 67% .


Northwestern University's ED (early decision) acceptance rate = 25%

Northwestern's overall rate of admission = 7%

LOL ! Love your sense of humor. Apparently the conference only counts members with a college of agriculture.

Cornell's undergrad enrollment is far and away the largest among those schools -- several times the size of Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton, and Yale and abouit twice as large as the others -- so no surprise there are markedly more kids heading to Cornell than to any of those schools.

https://admissionblog.northwestern.edu/2021/10/26/applying-early-decision-fall-2021/

"Over the past few years, we’ve admitted roughly half of our incoming class early (that is, around 1,000 students in a first-year class of roughly 2,000). Last year we received around 4,500 early applications."

So, around 22%.
