It’s so hard to decide between the Ag school and the Hotel school!

We get all of our best staff from Cornell’s H-school!

Awhahaha!!

Hahaha. Stupidity is funny.

in all fairness, wouldn’t there be a similar effect for Columbia with College vs. SEAS vs. General Studies, Penn w/ Wharton vs. College, etc.?

Maybe Harvard will create a new undergrad school just to confuse applicants and boost their rate. Columbia’s catching up!

was Cornell’s rejection rate high?

Maureen, why are you so bitter towards Cornell? That’s your second hate-on already.

That article is from September 2006 and refers to last years admissions cycle. Is it really that slow of a newsday in the Ivy League?

maureen forgot to list which Cornell school she was applying to, and was forced to use Princeton as a fallback.

Here y’all go…from the blotter
Aug. 12, 4:30 a.m., Webster Avenue
Hanover Police arrived at Phi Delta Alpha fraternity after receiving a call from Safety and Security that an intoxicated Phi Delt member had fallen out of his bed and sustained injuries to his head. Blood covered the floor of his room and the 20-year-old male faded in and out of consciousness. When paramedics asked the student, a member of the Class of 2009, for his name, he responded by saying only “asshole.” The rising junior repeated this response to a number of questions, including inquiries regarding his injury.

@D’04: how freudian.

someone forgot to close a tag downthread.

actually the blog post is from this month, although it refers to a similar one a year ago.

The only people who say “we’re an Ivy” are at Cornell

HYP is pulling the wagon. Wharton U is helping. Columbia and Dartmouth need to get their acts together. Brown is Brown

I assume we can’t get Stanford or Duke (because of sports) or Cal Tech or MIT (too narrow), but can we trade Cornell for U of Chicago?

You’re an idiot.

You’re seriously putting Duke and Brown ahead of Cornell? And Dartmouth? What exactly are they known for, besides a plethora of inebriated prep school frat boys and being the inspiration for Animal House? Same with Columbia, but replace the above characteristics with “nothing in particular”.

@time to cull the weak: I could care less what you think of Cornell. But Duke? My God, go read the Rolling Stone article. If even 2% of it is true, that place is worthless.

You laughed at the hotelies. We all laughed at them. Then, ten years out of school, they are all hanging with celebrities and doing very well for themselves. I’ve come to the opinion that it combines an OK undergrad biz school with a top-notch, highly successful finishing school. I don’t laugh at the hotelies any more.

As a Cornell engineering student (’10) I feel obligated to scoff at the hotelies for their small workload proportionate to their egos.

But that being said, my roommate last year was a hotelie, and his coursework looked BORING AS SIN– I’d rather take 20 credits of advanced math and physics than -ever- take Hotelie Financial Accounting.

Not to mention that when I need a vacation from my grueling job, I’m glad I know the people who will be running the top-class hotels in 10 years.

Think of it this way. Those 1000+ dummies are going to some other ivy. Perhaps Cornell is smarter than we think.
