<p>“Are the state colleges at cornell actual cornell colleges or are they state colleges.”</p>
<p>Your question is OT for this thread, nevertheless perhaps this helps:</p>
<p>[Statutory</a> college - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statutory_college]Statutory”>Statutory college - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>I remember an applicant on CC from either last year or the year before that learned about his acceptance to Cornell college and thought he had applied to Cornell University. Does anyone remember that?</p>
<p>Now that you mention it, I may have some vague recollection along those lines.
I can see it happening (rarely), to an international student particularly.</p>
<p>at monydad: My feeling, in all likelihood it probably never happened and was made up by someone who had nothing better to do with their time then make it up, write about it and see what people would say. the two schools being in different states, etc makes it hard to believe. I say it’s not true.</p>
<p>at sunshine: I see your point that the SUNY state colleges at Cornell University are listed on the SUNY web site. I don’t know too much about the state contracted colleges, but even if someone can apply through the SUNY web site link you talk about, I don’t think they would get the lower SUNY rate. I guess they are on the SUNY web site for a reason, but I really don’t know exactly what that is about or if there is different pricing. I guess you can email SUNY headquarters in Albany, NY and ask them why the state colleges at cornell are on their web site and if it makes a difference how you apply. or you can look at the link monydad wrote about in his post that talks about the contract colleges.
When I say I’m going to cornell, a lot of people ask state or private so I can see the mix up because of this “statutory” / “contract” thing, but I’m thinking that the state colleges are basically private and run by cornell with some funding by the state. but I am not sure.
good luck to you.</p>
<p>
If SUNY says “we’ll give you $130,000,000 and even if you are privately owned an operated by Cornell, we’ll put them on the website if we want to because we paid $130,000,000.” Or maybe the whole dialogue was a little more eloquent, but this is how I imagined it.
You can’t apply to a contract college through SUNY, you have to apply to Cornell using their application process.
This is correct. I’m pretty sure most all universities, public and private, receive some form of support from the state, the contract colleges are slightly distinguished since they are private yet receive a good amount of fuding for their educational missions which directly benefit NY State.</p>
<p>“I guess you can email SUNY headquarters in Albany, NY and ask them why the state colleges at cornell are on their web site…”</p>
<p>I did, a long time ago. This was the reply:</p>
<p>[intro snipped]
“The arrangement may indeed be confusing. The four units of Cornell that you mentioned are “Statutory”
or “Contract” Colleges. The following is an excerpt from SUNY’s Master Plan:
“Statutory/Contract Colleges - The five partnership colleges, also known as statutory or contract colleges, round out the doctoral sector. These colleges are not directly operated by the State University, but are operated by their host institutions, subject to the general supervision and coordination of State University Trustees [Education Law §355(1)(a)], who also approve the appointment of the head of each college by the governing board of its respective private institution [Education Law §355(1) (e)].
Included in this category are four colleges affiliated with Cornell University, the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Human Ecology, Veterinary Medicine, and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations; and a fifth institution, the New York State College of Ceramics, is affiliated with Alfred University (see Education Law, Article 123). Each partnership college enjoys the benefits of being part of the State University of New York while being connected to, and located at, a private university. These colleges are exemplars of productive public-private partnerships.”
These five campuses are part of SUNY and it is appropriate for us to list them as such on our website, in our application viewbook, etc. If you search for “SUNY” on the Cornell website, you will find several references to SUNY and the State University of New York.”
[closing snipped].</p>
<p>In essence,my take on this is the arrangement is per my prior link. SUNY has the right to rubber stamp selection of the college deans, and writes them checks, and that is the extent of their oversight or involvement.They take from this the right to claim these colleges on their website, and who will argue with someone writing you big checks. But unlike the schools they actually run, they have little else to do with the contract colleges, actually, it would seem.</p>
<p>From their web site, Cornell College looks like a great place</p>
<p>^the ppl are really chill
I loved this part
“Winters in Ithaca are cold and snowy. Winters in Mount Vernon, on the other hand, are … snowy and cold.”</p>
<p>^Cool why don’t u ■■■■■ somewhere else.</p>
<p>Have fun getting banned, joshi.</p>
<p>Absolutely not. I know someone who goes to the college and it is a source of annoyance to him that he has to always specify that he is going to “the one in Iowa”. Cornell College is a very special school with the block system. One of the few in the country. I highly recommend this school for kids who have trouble juggling a full load of courses. One class at a time can be a change that truly works wonders.</p>
<p>joshi, come up with some arguments first and have some support for your arguments. We cannot argue with someone who throws baseless insults. Please come again (or not).
You are not debating. You are only here to provoke a fight.</p>
<p>CC is not better than CU. CC is a great school, but CU gets all the rep anyways. It is known worldwide for its academics.
The only college that Upenn gets confused with is penn state.
Are you a student of CC? Why so angry? Unless you got rejected ED for cornell…
Grow up.</p>
<p>OK kid.
So you are a native american with 2100 SATs
A caucasian with 2350s
and you are applying to princeton with 2050s
and now you are in williams in 3 days.
which person are you?</p>
<p>Oh by the way, stop ■■■■■■■■ princeton’s threads too. They appreciate it.</p>
<p>Yep, ivy is an athletic conference. Do you apply to them just for the namesake? Or do you find out what each university’s strengths and apply there because it fits you personally and is good for your major? </p>
<p>People generally do not apply to colleges with shallow reasons.
I applied to cornell because of:
its strengths in the sciences and engineering
need based aid ( which i do need )
the atmosphere + scenic beauty
research opportunities
opportunities for me to explore my interests
diversity and brilliance of students and staff
attitudes of my peers that will definitely influence me
the quality education that I will receive here
how well I think I would do here</p>
<p>if we try to say that you’re wrong, it’s being defensive… and if we just let what you say go, then you’ll assume that we agree with you. this is such a great win-win situation =D</p>
<p>does it make you happy to try to provoke such responses in a topic that is not about whether cornell is a top 8 university in the world?</p>
<p>anyway, people, just don’t respond!</p>
<p>MIT in football league. you sure are a funny ■■■■■
I was so sure that harvard was going to be in there too!

<p>^ i meant this thread.
Oh noes i fed a ■■■■■ :(</p>
<p>Don’t you just love super ■■■■■■?</p>
<p>I had a 2350 on my SAT. I ED’d to cornell because i wanted to go there. Do you think it’s easy for an asian american? Think again.
Which school has a combination of everything i mentioned? Cornell does.
You can split up all my arguments and argue them one by one as you want, but Cornell is unique.
You did not prove anything. Have you been to Cornell? Can you even get accepted there? Who are you really? You are only arguing based on a collection of negative stereotypes made about Cornell. You have not done any objective research yourself.</p>
<p>Please do us all a favor and ■■■■.</p>
<p>you did say some wild things,
you should delete them yourself if you want to do what is right.
send cc an email and do whatever it takes to have your problem posts removed
you should not ask other people to do it when you made the posts.
somehow, I don’t think you are going to do what is right and remove the posts yourself,
prove us wrong</p>
<p>LOL at post #45. If you don’t know what South Harmon Institute of Technology is, google it or just look at the acronym it forms. The ■■■■■ is continuing to ■■■■■ by apologizing for ■■■■■■■■…</p>
