Okay. We need to bring this back to focus. I thank you CayugaRed for your thoughts. I think you should know that my comments weren’t really directed at you, but I didn’t specify my comments either (so you would have no way of knowing). It is also important to note that I never once said that Dartmouth was better than Cornell. I’m not even sure that it is. All I said is that there are reasons to choose Dartmouth. As for judging the character of my school based on the use of naviance or similar, it is actually a really common thing to do at not just my school. We don’t use it for bragging rights, we use it so you can get the opinions of both sides when comparing a school. It gives you a more balanced comparison (starting to catch on to my theme…?)

To brown man: Simply saying that they are both fine schools and then going on to say that Cornell is better in every way is not a balanced argument. Just because it is in your thesis does not mean that you do not have to prove it to me in your the body portion of the text. Also, there might appear to be some Dartmouth students bashing Cornell on your boards, but I wonder how you know if a student actually goes to Dartmouth? There are a lot of third party students who may say these things. Have fun spending your Saturday trying to find a single post by sybbie, slipper, rightnotleft, or biggreenjen that one-sidedly bashes Cornell. (Those are the only actual Dartmouth affiliated people on CC).

And trust me, students at HYP do it way more often, but I guess not as many on CC. (Their only opportunity would be in a HYP vs Cornell thread, but frankly, those are rare.)

So, continue on with your debate of Cornell vs. Dartmouth. I am not going to be home for the rest of the weekend, so it will be useless to address me from this point on.

Oh, and please don’t try to blitz me. That happens to be the president’s e-mail…
