One applicant's story - Cornell University ED

<p>Haha <em>shrug</em>. I only mentioned UCLA because it is ranked around UVa/UNC-Chapel Hill and Northstarmom said this girl wouldn’t make the cut at those schools or flagship UCs if she was IN STATE. Which I thought was crazy to say, not knowing exactly what her grades were. And I threw USC in there 'cause I assume if someone got a decent-sized scholarship from USC they would likely also be admitted to UCLA (if they were in-state for UCLA, that is).</p>

<p>But yeah totally separate from the Cornell thing…that was all more in response to the other comment.</p>
