I'm always surprised (not surprised) when the very few programs in place to lower costs and/or expand access are mocked on DCUM. It costs 20k less, it must be bad. It's provincial.

I believe only New York State residents get reduced tuition at the contract colleges. Is that true?

But all that said, all colleges are Ivy even if we knew we were much smarter and worked a lot more than kids from some of the other colleges.

Engineers think this way everywhere. Not just a Cornell thing.

Because it is so true. E School is a grind for everyone, excepting maybe Dick Feynman.

You can only apply as a NY resident and even then they have a sixth sense for people not serious about Human Ecology.

Another inaccurate statement. Where are you getting this info??

The whole school is Ivy.

Really? I have a lot of friends from New York and grew up near there. Everyone I knew growing up considered only the undergrad arts and sciences to be Ivy.

Cornell grad here who grew up in NY. Never heard that in my life.

Heard this where I grew up in the 80s and into the 90s. Maybe things have changed, but people seemed to be clear back then that the grad schools and the more specific schools other than sciences were not Ivy League. The idea was that the other Ivies were all liberal arts colleges, so only the liberal arts focused college at Cornell was considered Ivy.

None of the ivies are liberal arts colleges. And no grad students participate in ivy league sports. You sound not informed at all.

Proud cornell alum ( humec) and yale grd.

I graduated from the Engineering school. We looked down on everyone else from all the other schools.

Heard the same from friends who are alums from 18,20 yrs ago, they consider only A&S and Engineering as ivy level. Their school, their interpretation i suppose.

NP. I graduated from Cornell A&S in that same time frame and literally never heard this.

+1

Someone is trolling with obvious lies.

Yes, very difficult for engineering. I got into their engineering school and MIT. None of my cousins (also multiple generation legacies) got into either.

Wait, you can only apply to the College of Human Ecology if you are a NY resident?

Not true
