Ive applied ED to Cornell, my result comes out in a few hours! Though im not too sure about getting in! I would like to know how good/bad is cornell amongst other ivy league schools?
My SAT score is 2030 and 2180( in my subject sat)
Im the chief editor of my school magazine and a running editor sonce 7th grade.
I’ve also done a lot of community service.
Could you tell me what are my chance of getting into cornell? (no financial aid)
Also, if i wish to, is it possible to tranfer in my second year? Im an international student from India. Are there any extra requirements?
Could ou also tell me which out of the following are the best schools:
Boston U
Barnard College(Columbia)
Smith
Pomona
Washington in st louis
Tufts
Vassar
Cornell’s reputation is the easiest to get in but the hardest to graduate from. There is no grade inflation at CU, whereas 97-98% of harvard grads graduate with honors. Not to say that Harvard is easy, because it obviously is not… Regardless, a CU education will get you pretty far.
I dont know about literature, but I know that the UPenn and CU are always among the top 5 psych programs in the US. Cornell also has the Cognitive Sciences minor, which is an amazing thing to have with psych. CU will also make sure you have a liberal arts education. Believe me, there are many options at Arts and Sciences.
The other school Ive heard about in your list is BU. BU is great in literature and communications. Other than that, I cant say much about it, other than it is almost (if not more) expensive than most better schools.

Cornell has a reputation for being the "easiest" of the Ivies because several of its programs are more trade-oriented (hospitality, for instance). You’ll mostly encounter this attitude from Harvard/Yale/Princeton graduates, though; the average person will still be pretty impressed, and you’ll get an excellent education in the areas that interest you.
The rest of the schools on your list are all very good and very competitive: Pomona and Washington in St. Louis in particular have very low admittance rates. You shouldn’t have a problem getting in somewhere selective with your stats, but it wouldn’t hurt to look for one or two schools a little bit farther down the rankings just in case.
