<p>id remove vanderbilt fans from cornell forums if i could remove anything =-p</p>
<p>i know, and still ! you have a very special talent…and yes, you try, and yes, its funny, so keep dishing it.</p>
<p>lol, thanks, I think.</p>
<p>I second the motion to remove obnoxious Vanderbilt fans who have no respect for sparing use of caps lock.</p>
<p>hahaha—no other school has a song about it as cool as “We Didn’t Go to Harvard” by Cayuga’s Waiters</p>
<p>that song is sweet</p>
<p>ive just heard it, its great!</p>
<p>and if the Original discussion is still going on, i think the only bad point abt cornell in the prestige race is its acceptance rates, which diminish its exclusivity, but little else. The quality of people and quality of education are still top notch. below HYP I’d say. 4th.</p>
<p>It’s hard to have a low acceptance rate when there are 14,000 undergrads.</p>

<p>Thanks Arjun ;)</p>
<p>the acceptance rate is slowly creeping down.</p>
<p>ok, fine. What’s that got to do with it?</p>
<p>MY point was - the reason why cornell isn’t viewed as well as HYP internationally, in terms of prestige overall, is because it is slightly easier to get into than HYP. simple?</p>
<p>p.s thats not to kryptonite, sorry mate. that was a reply to -</p>

<p>Arjun, it’s nice that you like Cornell, but stop making the assertion that it’s better than HYP. You can’t compare overall rating based on a few departments that Cornell is better than the other schools in, that’s inaccurate.</p>
<p>i honestly think that Cornell offers a better education overall than HYP, the grade inflation at HYP makes it a joke…</p>
<p>thank.you.</p>
<p>jokaking5000 , u speak my language</p>
<p>the education - by all accounts you’d get an excellent education at any of these schools. </p>
<p>its just that, excellent school that it my be, cornell’s status is affected by its admissions stats - again, it takes nothing away from the school itself, but in an overall assessment, it does make a difference and matter to some people.</p>
<p>I’m gonna have to defend Spanks on this one. You can’t say that Cornell’s academic experience is better than HYP based on a few departments. Granted there is major grade deflation with Cornell, that just means the professors beat the snot outta you. It may be harder to do well in Cornell than HYP, but you can’t dismiss the quality of the other institutions based on a few departments…</p>
<p>arjun, i actually do speak hindi lol</p>
<p>dude, which part of india are you from? youre not in india right?</p>
