| Here's the problem with the logic that those saying Cornell is easiest to get into - you look at sheer numbers and not the quality of the applicant pools. Selectivity isn't just based on the percent of applicants admitted but the competition each applicant faces in being admitted. This however is something that can't be quantified thus people feel the need to just ignore it. Cornell has over 30000 applicants, meaning there is ridiculous competition to get into a lot of its colleges. Additionally, Cornell's methodology is a lot different from the other ivy league colleges because of its charter of inclusiveness. I'm not going to ramble on but I will conclude with this. Those who determine the quality of an institution by the percent of applicants admitted seriously have issues. Get beyond the numbers and you'll quickly realize just how sweet Cornell is.
One final plea - please stop making threads like this. |
