Applications to C.U. Stagnate as Growth Continues at Other Ivy Schools

I know when D was looking and even when she was accepted, she got a lot more love from the other schools than Cornell. Cornell just seemed indifferent. As a parent when I had questions about things during the process and after acceptance, it was often more difficult to get an answer from Cornell. Other schools got back to me within an hour most times. Cornell felt more bureaucratic and less customer focused. And when I am paying 56K/yr, I want to be treated like a valued customer.

<p>The majority of Cornell students receive financial aid, with average grant being over 20k a year. This would make the cost of attending Cornell, on average, not too much more expensive than a regular state school. And, if you ain’t getting a penny of fin aid from Cornell and really have to pay 56k a year, I think you are better off going to a state college. No college is worth 200k of tuition, imo.</p>
