Do you think Cornell will ever break top 10

Um… I’m from the US, and I passed up a slot at Oxford so I could go to Cornell. Am I stupid for doing so? Absolutely not. Cornell is an extremely prestigious school, one that competes on a national and international level. For you to say that Cornell is simply “unprestigious” or that it’s not as special to the layman on the street is simply preposterous. I can assure you that the prestige of Cornell does not in any way represent what feeble-minded high schoolers on College Confidential think of the world. You may be going off of USNWR lists, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: about 1% of the country actually gives a *****. That’s the truth. If your heart is set on Cornell, and you’re fortunate enough to get in, I applaud you and wish you nothing but the best in life because I know your future has been made just a little bit brighter by attending such an intellectual school. I would say the same for any Ivy+ school.

And FYI, if we’re going to start comparing Ivy League schools, let’s begin with the following: there is no worst Ivy League school, and anyone who can conclusively think of a worst one was poorly educated by their high school.
