4

<p>who knows … someone from my school got in with a 3.1 gpa and a pretty low sat score. it’s very random.</p>

5

<p>hmmm…so out of the which should i apply to Cornell, or Brown, i was leaning toward brown because i heard bad things about cornell</p>

6

<p>why not apply to both? what bad things have you heard about cornell?</p>

7

<p>i heard there was MASSIVE amounts of work at cornell…the bad weather, suicides, etc…</p>

8

<p>Don’t expect to go a top university and not have a lot of work.</p>

9

<p>im definitley ready for the work, if i were to go to a top uni…but i hear its just insane at cornell, and the weather makes it worse…myth or fact?</p>

<p>The weather is…not the best in Ithaca. It depends if Cornell’s on a hill or not (I’ve never been to Cornell, only Ithaca College) and if it is, the wind is brutal. It snows a good amount too. However, Ithaca, as they say, is gorges! I did see the campus on a documentary once and it looked pretty nice…although I’m not sure how many sunny days you can expect there.</p>

11

<p>Oh ok, thanks for the info</p>

12
