As I’m sure you know, legacy at Cornell is a huge deal in ED but not as much in RD. Each year they take more and more of their class during the ED round and this year the rumor is they will be taking even more. That said, the rumor is also that they will be taking a larger freshman class because the sophomore class is much smaller and they are opening 2 new dorms that were supposed to be sophomore dorms that they may now be using for freshman dorms instead.

I have a Cornellian who loves it. If you have any questions from the perspective of a current student, feel free to message me. If you’re goal is to go to Med School, then my suggestion is to avoid Cornell for undergrad. I went through college and medical school with a spouse and now as a parent am seeing what these kids are going through and it is a totally different beast at Cornell than other schools. I am beyond happy that my daughter has no interest in medical school because I don’t feel that Cornell is the best environment for kids in that field and does more to help set them up to fail or stress than succeed with the number of weed out classes and lack of support for them. If you’re interested in something else, then it is awesome.
