Maybe that is the reason you got rejected from Cornell, not researching and knowing enough about the school as to assert that it is not a member of Ivy league.



I was talking about Tufts there… Actually, I think Cornell and Tufts are fantastic schools, they’re just not for me. I just realized that with Cornell, certain things just weren’t for me (e.g. the very stressed environment, taking four hours to get to from NYC, large classes, etc.) as opposed to Tufts.

And yeah, I did realize that I didn’t research enough about Cornell to know whether or not I would like it. I was really happy when I got my rejection letter knowing that somebody else would have gotten my spot.

Oh, and when I said that Tufts was the wannabe Ivy, I was just repeating what I’ve seen a lot of people say (more so, the supposed “wannabe Ivy.”) I still think it’s a great school (I’d much prefer it to Cornell), the only thing that bothered me is that it would have many more A-type personalities than I would like, over which I prefer Dartmouth’s relaxed atmosphere.
