Percentage of ‘24ers that were top students in HS

among the non-D1 crowd, Stanford is probs 95-97% and Duke is probably 92-94%

Wall Street Journal top schools, sorry Penn, Dartmouth, etc:

1 Harvard University
2 Stanford University
3 MIT
4 Yale University
5 Duke University
6 Brown University
7 California Institute of Technology
8 Princeton University
9 Johns Hopkins University
9 Northwestern University
11 Cornell University
———
12 University of Pennsylvania
13 Dartmouth College
14 The University of Chicago
15 Vanderbilt University
16 Columbia University
17 Washington University in St Louis
18 Rice University
19 University of Southern California
20 Emory University

putting Brown and USC that high makes no sense lol.... Forbes 2021 Ranks:

1 Berkeley
2 Yale
3 Princeton
4 Stanford
5 Columbia
6 MIT
7 Harvard
8 UCLA
9 Penn
10 Northwestern
11 Dartmouth
12 Duke
13 Cornell
.....
25 Brown

the truth is UChicago and Penn are just better schools than us because they just dominate in science research, tech industry, Wall Street, etc ... BUT I do think Cornell is tied if not better than Columbia

Ranks are subjective. Data is objective. And the data shows that Cornell’s undergraduate body is more like Michigan or UT’s than it is like Columbia’s.

Tbh Cornell is even occasionally bunched together with CMU, Stanford, MIT, Princeton and Harvard for STEM

true

Leave Dyson out of it, they got a 2% acceptance rate. Agree about the others though.

Bruh this is what happens when you go to Dyson and don’t know the nuances of statistical experiments. Your under the assumption that the school takes the top 2% of applicants when in reality it is probably somewhere in the 92-94th percentile. The ones above are too good to risk accepting because they’re likely anyways going to better schools like MIT or Yale. There’s something called yield protection as well you know. Besides if you ask anyone who goes to better Econ programs than Dyson, like Duke, Stanford, MIT Sloan/Econ or Wharton/Penn CAS, they’ll all tell you they applied for Cornell’s Economics department or the ORIE department over Dyson. Dyson is for kids who strongly consider and apply to schools like Northeastern, NYU Stern and Boston College- not HYPSM.

Lmao imagine waking up at 7 am just to write a big ass paragraph dissing Dyson ... you are the epitome of a squid.

I'm not in Dyson, but it's way above Northeastern, Boston College, and above Stern. Last time I checked Northeastern and Boston College were nontargets for finance and consulting recruiting. I'm sorry you got rejected from Cornell lol but get a life.

Dyson is obv better than BC, NYU and Northeastern but it is in the same group as those. People who apply to Dyson also had their eyes set on these other schools. But people who apply to other programs in Cornell like Engineering or Srts and Sciences were also applying and considering HYPSM- they just didn’t get in. Dyson attracts a lower tier crowd that is interested in wearing suits and ties like the NYU/BC crowd. It is the best of the second tier programs.

lmao I'm an American, I just live in the UK in London. And I go to Cornell Dyson lol but wish I went to the more superior UT Austin McCombs Business school or an Econ department at a better Ivy

"And I go to Cornell Dyson lol but wish I went to the more superior UT Austin McCombs Business school or an Econ department at a better Ivy"

So you got to UT Austin - there is no way in hell McCombs would ever be grouped anywhere close to Dyson. Sorry bud that you got rejected but you can apply for transfer to Cornell. Also, while you're at it, get a life.

You kids are such suckers. Advice- don’t feed a troll

Can't have UT Austin squids grinding on Greekrank - gotta put y'all back in your place.

Rule of thumb — if someone said they went to Cornell and studied a hard science you know they’re smart and probably got in on merit. If they said they studied some artsy major there’s a decent chance they were only an ok student in high school, had ok SAT/ACT scores, or got in on Affirmative Action or Legacy.

For the schools: Engineering, hard sciences in CAS and CALS = smart.
ILR, Hotel, HumanEc, BS stuff in CAS and CALS = probably smart but lot’s of fakes mixed in

@Frankie... I agree. I've always had the utmost respect for Cornell's STEM programs. They are easily on par with UChicago, UCLA, Penn, Columbia, Hopkins and some are even as good if not better than Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton.

from what I gather the Dyson/Johnson program is 75% smart and 25% mediocre tho

@UVA Chadling, its more like 60/40

Nope....Cornell CAS Econ/Stat and Engineering ORIE has traditionally been a finance powerhouse and Dyson has caught up and already at that tier... obviously not HYPSM/Penn-Wharton tier but just slightly lower than Columbia, Penn, Duke and UChicago
