How so?

Do they have requirements for % in-state? Is it more difficult as OOS applicant?

Emory mom’s on a bender.

If you take a look at HMS class profile, you will see Cornell is a stronger feeder than Emory.

Cornell has the ivy prestige (applies to CALS), and a better medical school outcome.

CALS has lots of premed students. CALS really should be named College of Life Sciences. I don't think CALS is second tier just because it's a contract college.

It is second tier because it's public, also why would we want to look at only one medschool. It's strange some of you disregard aggregated college transitions data from over 100's of medschools but only look at 1. Also percapita Emory and Cornell send the same amount of students to Harvard medicine from the link you posted, so you didn't prove anything there. At the end of the day Emorys premed acceptance rate is still 10% higher.

Which translates to 1 or 2 kids. Truly meaningless.

What's meaningless are the 2 more students Cornell sent to Harvard medicine over Emory, but you thought it was wise to bring that up. What's impactful is that 25% of Cornell premeds have to reassess what they'll do with their lives, thats meaningful.

Nope two different posters.

Make sure your kid goes to the admitted student days.

Does kid want rural/cold or suburban/near a city and warm? Both good schools. Visit and talk to grads and ask about premed advising/acceptance rates. Emory does have cdc in Atlanta and other local medical resources, not sure about Cornell's ithaca campus. Our oldest is an emory grad and had an amazing experience- academically and socially. Do the research and let kid choose the school where they can be happy and thrive. Premed is a long haul...

I would choose Emory. I don't understand the appeal of cornell. The large, sprawling campus feels more like a state flagship with an odd mix of architectural styles, Ithaca is dismal and super remote (4-5 hr bus ride to nyc), and students there jusr seem very stressed (to be fair, maybe its just the engineer, econ, and business majors we met). I know it has a strong greek culture that could be fun, but I don't see the appeal unless a kid was into hiking and/or interested in a unique program like the hotel school.

The Emory poster is making it look like Emory has something to hide? What? Why so defensive?

This is beyond weird. What is wrong with Emory????

I think you're just disillusioned by the changing college landscape. The administration is sour on ivys, the media is too, and now employers are changing their tune. The lower ivys Cornell and Dartmouth are vulnerable. Emory already has better premed placement and has pretty much closed the gap for finance placement as well. Cornell ranked 15 per capita, vs Emory's 18.

Cornell is vulnerable because they have many political protests, rely heavily on federal funding, and don't have a big per student endowment. But I don't think any of those are true for Dartmouth. It's an obscure school in the middle of nowhere. Dartmouth and Penn are the 2 Ivies that are not on Trump's "bad list".

Emory also had protests, ones that made the news.

Do they sear "second tier" on your forehead when you graduate from CALS?
Plus, if you can freely transfer between CALS and CAS while at Cornell, how is CALS second tier?

Can people with kids currently at Cornell verify whether this is true? Our sense is that Cornell is where fun goes to die … which makes DC reluctant to apply, even though they have the stats and their HS is a strong feeder. Thx.

While suicide is a problem on many campuses including Cornell, there is no way she saw multiple bodies.
Literally just had dinner with a Cornell grad last week, she said she had to glaze over lifeless bodies when walking over bridges. Mental health is bad their and hasn't improved much.

This makes no sense.

I didn't really beileve her, but I asked about she suicide rate and she said she saw several who committed. Sorry, no lies here. She's 26 so recent graduate.

Yeah, this is completely false. Also, as far as people who sadly decide to take their own life is concerned, the gorges (which are incredibly beautiful, by the way) were an attractive nuisance for the entire region. It was not just students. But there are nets now anyway, to prevent someone who might have decided to jump.

There are lots of reasons to choose Emory if it’s the right fit. But this is not one of them.

If you have kids at Cornell, you know that there is no weird segregation by school. Dyson is technically in CALS and Nolan. CALS has some of the “premier” Cornell programs and free $$$$/goodies for students - iykyk.

Also premed gpa may be easier at one over the over. Consider that.

But focus on fit? Not name. Where your kid will be happy. Where they will find their people.

Great choices!!!
