<p>Nope. We’re talking about nursing, right? Cornell doesn’t even offer nursing, whereas students from a community college RN program are going to have more specific coursework and experience in the profession.</p>
<p>Again, I disagree with the grad program’s inflexible admissions policy, because going based on GPA alone is not very holistic to say the least. But to say that a graduate of a CC nursing program is automatically less qualified for a BSN program than an Ivy grad is simply not supported by any evidence that I’m aware of. If you have some, I’d be happy to review it.</p>

<p>“Those folks?”</p>
<p>Not sure what you’re talking about, but I have no problem with the Ivies. (Totally loved it when Cornell made the Sweet 16 last year.)</p>
<p>Yes, I went to community college after high school. So did my father. Actually, he was a high school dropout - now he has a Ph.D in paleontology from Berkeley, by way of LA Valley College. Sample size n=1, of course, but it’s more concrete than anything else presented here.</p>
<p>If you think community college is a roadblock or only for the incapable, you’re simply wrong. It wasn’t the right path for you, cool beans. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be the right path for some people.</p>
