“@monydad: Cornell’s website”

Sorry but I am slow.

Please show me where specifically on Cornell’s website it gives the following exact information, give the precise link and also write in the numbers for me:

How many Western state residents applied to Cornell last year?
How many of these Western state applicants did Cornell accept?

Not % matriculants, that is off-point.

I want # who applied and # of these that were accepted. Only that information would support your contention that Cornell has a dramatically low acceptance rate for this group of students. Matriculants are not acceptees. % of matriculants need not correspond to # applicants and # admitted.

If a # of good students from the West coast apply to Dartmouth, and the same # apply to Cornell, and each school admits the same % of them, and the same % of them accept the offer,
That # of matriculating west coast students will show up as a much bigger % of Dartmouth’s student body than Cornell’s. Because Cornell has a larger class. Even though they both accepted the same % of West coast applicants.
