I have no idea what you’re saying. There are thousands that apply ED to Cornell, so clearly it’s not everyone’s backup school. I don’t know what this has to do with ‘fault’ and I don’t have any understanding of what ‘their philosophy is very liberal…’ possibly means.

“they will reject high standard kids, while accepting those who don’t deserve get in…”

I’ve never heard of Cornell doing this and are not reputed to do this the way Tufts or WUSTL have been accused.

“the statutory schools make it easy for students to get into cornell”

This is not necessary true at all. In some cases, since it’s such a good deal for NYS residents, the acceptance rates are lower for the statuatory schools. I know for stats posted for CAS and CALS that the acceptance rates are within 1% of each other over a number of years.
