Confidentialcoll, you're mad silly.

"look at SAT scores, top % of HS class."

Impossible to do either of these things, as Cornell does not list SAT scores by college. You can only look at the average for all schools at Cornell.
"Cornell University also does not have average SAT scores available by college." - Dear Uncle Ezra - Questions for Thursday, February 28, 2008 - Cornell University

So, nice try again. Still, I'm not upset by your foolishness, so you shouldn't be at what you perceive as mine.

Also, Cornell engineering acceptance rate might be quite high, this is true, but the group of applicants is extremely self-selective.
Case in point - I have a high school friend who was rejected by Cornell but accepted to MIT. True story.
Clearly, acceptance rates in a vacuum tell you very little of the story.
