The people at other Ivies are built different
by: peterComparing Cornell students to the 5 top Ivies (HYP,Penn,Columbia) you realize how differently built the students at those schools are along with MIT and Stanford. Excluding CoE, Cornell students are literally all second tier- stuck in a sort of Stockholm Syndrome situation of supporting a school that does not deliver them the long dreamed "Ivy League" experience.

Hi @lol, ASU has a 86.5% acceptance rate. How is that NOT a safety? What DO you consider a safety? Your local community college? Even my county’s has higher standards than ASU lmao

sure the students at those 7 schools had stronger backgrounds than non-engineering Cornell students when they were applying for college... but at the end of the day, that was high school and this is the real world, and what makes someone a star in high school is not necessarily what makes them a star in the real world

i have 2 very goods friend at penn and princeton, they were definitely a notch higher than me in pretty much everything i did but that hasn't stopped me from trying to improve myself. and honestly, today they have no idea what they want to do in their future but i do. they are still lost and wandering which is cool and they'll find their way. but the point is now i'm "ahead" and then maybe they'll catch up and surpass me and then maybe i'll pass them and the cycle will just continue. so what? we are all at the very top of the nation and there's no point comparing yourself when things are always changing

Only 0.02% of the US Population has an ivy league degree and of that an even smaller percentage say 20% of that 0.02% come from a priveleged prep school background. Now you are a part of that group. It doesnt matter where you start, what matters is where you end up. An ivy league degree means nothing if you don't utilize what you learned and the connections you have while someone who is a hs dropout could (and have) become billionairs without that pedigree. Appreciate what you have and voice your insecurities elsewhere.

only 66000 out of 330 million have any ivy league degree to put into perspective. Literally 0.02% of the country. We are part of the maybe 0.1% of the country who have degrees from top 50 colleges. Stop bashing and appreciate yourself.

We're a small group but your #s are off. Cornell has 15,000 undergrads. Within 16 years we handout ~66,000 degrees. Now consider the other 7 Ivies and that people generally live 60+ years after graduating undergrad. There's definitely 1 million+ people alive with Ivy League undergrad degrees.

Okay UT may debatably be better than Cornell but NO WAY is ASU better than either. Any hiring manager would laugh at a resume from ASU.
