Tired of seeing people flaming Cornell on this site and grouping us with schools like UMich / Georgetown of all places.
Cornell acceptance rate: 7.5%
UMich acceptance rate: 17.7%
Georgetown acceptance rate: 12.2%
We place at every BB/EB on the street and have alumni everywhere. You can't say the same for UMich or Georgetown, no matter how many kids from UMich/Georgetown glaze their school on this site.

I literally went to Cornell and I’m telling you to please shut up no one cares
Literally
Lmao all my buddies called it Corny-ell and based on this post it’s such a fitting nickname
Are you heading to a WF/HW/RBC type shop from Cornell where you feel a bit inferior to peers from other lower-ranked schools heading to better banks? So you have to jerk off to the fact that at least you went to a higher ranked college.
del
Shut up
It’s Dartmouth or bust baby
"CoRnELl ISn'T A FaKe IvY! IT's So HaRD TO GeT IntO! We'RE BaSiCaLLY HaRVaRD!!! :"
As a Harvard grad, I must say that isn't a compliment anymore.
"We place at every BB/EB on the street and have alumni everywhere. You can't say the same for UMich or Georgetown"
You literally can say the same... all of these schools place at every BB/EB and should be grouped together lol
Thank you, finally someone willing to speak the truth about Cornell. It is such a hidden gem.
For the benefit of the prospects, here’s a full list of all the firms that would hire a Cornell grad but would not hire a UM or Georgetown grad:
Bronx Sci inferiority complex is strong with this one
where did bronx science come into this convo. Lmao I feel slow
Feeder HS to low ivies.
Cornell is a great college and glad you’re proud. And here’s your tip. Thanks for delivering my luggage to the President’s Suite.
I've worked with a lot of bad MBA associates and Cornell by far produces a disproportionately high amount
Could you elaborate more?
Sounds like something andy from the office would say
lol
Glad to see that making fun of Cornell transcends generations
stfu I have had universally bad experiences with Cornell undergrad and MBA alums
Go back to the bronx
"Cornell is the easiest and youngest Ivy League school. It was established in 1865 and is situated in Ithaca, New York. Out of 49,114 candidates, Cornell accepted 5,330, for an admission percentage of around 10.9%. This acceptance rate is more than twice as high as the rates for our top two universities, Harvard and Columbia, and as a result, it offers prospective students the best chance of getting accepted."

10.9% is in the same league as Georgetown and Georgetown ED is even lower at an early acceptance rate of 9.8%.

I didnt go to cornell nor am i a fan of the school but the acceptance rate is ~7.5% OP is right on that
7.5% doesn’t include ED. With ED it is 10.9% for the class of 2024.
If I don’t listen to you, and keep hating on Cornell, what are you gonna do about it?

Insightful and pleasant reading!
My Dad beat down Cornell in the 50s and got the game ball.
Always knew your bloodline was strong Isaiah
Cornell is the bitch of ivies
There’s some serious competition for that title, Brown won’t give in without a fight.
This post is precisely why Cornell hate must continue.
Cornell is a state school
it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. its usually people who go to the shittier schools that hate on you because they think their schools are in the same ballpark as Cornell, and they should have the same quota for banks like us, but the truth is it isn't.

Lastly, schools like ggt, dartmouth, UVA, or Stern treat finance as their main track, so much at Cornell are doing engineering and CS. Finance competition at Cornell is so less fierce compare to those schools. The ggt shills in this forum is crazy. They are literally like a safety school for those go to Deerfield, Andover, Choate
Post is max SDE
Get a life and a job cuz Cornell is good enough and all of these schools are
all are great schools
