confidentialq:

Cornell has 0 “other gender” students out of their entire class of 26,793

I am 100% sure MANY kids identifying as non-binary (and many other sorts of queer identities) at Cornell and “top” schools. These CDS data are not nuanced for this purpose and CDS is often not super accurate for many things beyond pure applicant numbers (and some other things..)

Look at clubs, language of school websites, and school newspapers and admin and course selection speak of LGTBQIA+ issues on this topic, not CDS IMO.

And, as others said, please do NOT go into your first year thinking you are transferring. Recipe for BIG issues (including issues transferring!).
