<p>found it fitting, considering the conversation going on now and the fact that its a cornell thread. Enjoy.</p>

<p>that too.</p>
<p>Well, that whole Ann Coulter argument is just that the contract colleges are less prestigious/rigorous/exclusive than the endowed.</p>
<p>I mean, that argument does have some validity to it.</p>
<p>(This coming from a person applying to Human Ecology)</p>
<p>untrue. The ag school at cornell is one of the best in the country and ILR is also an extremely unique program and probably the number one school to study anything human resource related.</p>
<p>That Cornell Dining is genius. Lol. I’ve heard those stereotypes before, but def not presented like that xD.</p>
<p>And Ann Coulter disgusts me. A Cornell alumnus should have more respect for her alma mater…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wouldn’t go as far as to say that. The league didn’t officially start until the beginning of the 20th century (it was just informally recognized as the “ivy” league prior to that) and didn’t form an agreement about athletes not being given the same easy standards as they got from other schools until the middle of the century.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Prestige is a matter of how one perceives, so I agree in regards to that. I didn’t post that to throw jabs at Coulter, though. I was trying to draw attention to the dumb comments under the article, i.e. Cornell shouldn’t be in the Ivy league.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep. ILR is the only undergraduate school of its kind in America.</p>
<p>i don’t know if it’s true but what i’ve heard regarding the whole sports conference thing is that all of the ivy’s were originally part of League 4 in sports (League IV in roman numerals). IV eventually became IVY and somehow associated with academics. Hence, the ivy league… league 4…</p>
<p>^^^No, that’s not true, although that would be a pretty cool.</p>
<p>The title originally may have came from a sportscaster who referred to Princeton and Columbia’s sports teams as being weak by labeling them as being in an Ivy league.</p>
<p>The official first use of the term was seen years later. I’m too lazy to look up when, but feel free to do so if you feel inclined.</p>
<p>the ivy league officially formed because the schools involved knew they could not survive as academic and athletic powerhouses, and they chose academics and have not looked back. look at wikipedia (most reliable citation ever).</p>
<p>I’m Republican, and I hate her for what she said about CALS. Yeah I’m going to Cornell to be a dairy farmer. Totes, guys. I mean that alone is worth the tens of thousands I’m paying for it. I’m bringing my own cow and everything.</p>
<p>But what I hate even more? The comments underneath that page. O.M. F.G. Most of those people need to get a fine ass whooping.</p>
<p>Let me start by just throwing out majors that have little or nothing to do with agriculture.</p>
<p>Communications. Biological Sciences. Development Sociology. Atmospheric Science (weather ≠ farming). Applied Economics and Management. </p>
<p>Then the other majors like Animal Science, Food Science, and Viticulture might study an insignificant amount related to farming and what not, but seriously?</p>
<p>CAS is nice, but they don’t get anything better than anyone else at Cornell. The endowed colleges all get to take classes in the other buildings, all live in the same dorms, all have the same student opportunities. Idk why I’m ranting here, you guys certainly won’t disagree XD True those particular colleges aren’t as exclusive as Harvard, but does anyone really give a ****? </p>
<p>But in terms of laughing at ourselves, that song/skit was hilarious.</p>
<p>“And this dish is actually $10,000 less than our previous other two dishes”</p>
<p>Or even better</p>
<p>“IT’S DEFINITELY NOT THE AG SCHOOL, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!”</p>
<p>XDD</p>
<p>Which citation?</p>
<p>Edit: I see someone finally saw what I was talking about :)</p>
<p>where i cited wikipedia as my source. And that sketch certainly is hysterical- this dish will take you forever to finish…</p>
<p>I always forget there is a 7th college, the Architecture school. I don’t think I’ve ever run into anyone who applied there.</p>
<p>O I thought you meant a source which was cited on wikipedia.</p>
<p>Here’s what I found:</p>
<p>The first formal league involving Ivy League teams was formed in 1902, when Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Yale and Princeton formed the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League. They were later joined by Penn, Dartmouth and Brown.</p>
<p>In 1945 the presidents of the eight schools signed the first Ivy Group Agreement, which set academic, financial, and athletic standards for the football teams. The principles established reiterated those put forward in the Harvard-Yale-Princeton Presidents’ Agreement of 1916. The Ivy Group Agreement established the core tenet that an applicant’s ability to play on a team would not influence admissions decisions:</p>
<pre><code>“The members of the Group reaffirm their prohibition of athletic scholarships. Athletes shall be admitted as students and awarded financial aid only on the basis of the same academic standards and economic need as are applied to all other students.”
</code></pre>
<p>I know someone whose brother went to the Architecture school. It’s exactly as they portray it; very difficult to finish on time, and you stay up alllll night…
That’s how the arch department is here too. Architecture in itself is a difficult major. Soooo glad I did not do it.
Dunno how the fine arts aspect of the AAP school is though. Must be interesting.</p>
<p>Btw thanks Water and ironic for offering to read my essays from here on out =P I’ll be going up to Cornell in February to visit CALS admissions/the boyfriend, so I’ll let you guys know when I’m there. Haha.</p>
<p>I’ve been thinking about something: is there any wildlife on campus? Like there haven’t been any reports of students getting mauled by bears on the way to class, right? Yea, dumb question, but somebody has to ask.</p>
<p>And I’ll read your essays too if you’d like, Az.</p>

<p>P.S.</p>
<p>Can you get shocked from your toaster wire if it gets dipped into a little bit of water collected on the counter, even if the toaster is off? I can’t tell if I got shocked or not… My right arm feels tingly, but I’m nearly certain I’m imagining it</p>
<p>east, youre fine. I was once shocked by a camera charger and trust me you would know. i shook uncontrollably for a few seconds then fell to the ground and when i got up it took me a few seconds to realize what ahd happened and my heart was racing. It was scary ****.</p>
