Re: Cornell football 2022 - 1 year ago
Why is Cornell opening vs VMI, & not playing an easier opponent (like Marist, who is playing Columbia). Guess to be the best you have to beat the best.by CAS - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football 2022 - 1 year ago
I believe Cornell should invest more in athletics & not accept losing over long periods in a “visible” program (read football). As an aside, President Pollack must be doing something right. Fundraising is at a record level ($900MM in gifts last fiscal year). Interest in attending Cornell also is very strong, with record applications & yield, resulting in only a 7% admit rate.

Media poll has Cornell last again. Cornell release proudly states the Red outperformed expectations last year (when finished tied for last & went 1-6 in Ivies). Stop the insanity!by CAS - Other Sports

Re: blackwidow - 1 year ago
Cornell is likely to have 2 (& maybe 3) recruits selected in this weekend’s NHL draft. This year’s class includes the third leading scorer in the BCHL (pts/game), the MVP of the OJHL, & a transfer who has had 2 productive college seasons. I’m excited about the players in the pipeline.by CAS - Hockey

Re: New indoor campus recreation & sports center - 1 year ago
In Cornell’s 2022-2023 budget, the indoor campus recreation & sports center is listed as a pre-approved project with a FY 2022 start, & is fully funded.by CAS - Other Sports
Re: Cornell admissions - 1 year ago
Applications had already increased materially in recent years, leading to an admit rate of below 11% for the Class of 2023. We don’t have the same data for the Class of 2026 (not 2027). You suggest many new applicants are less qualified, (not just for the class just admitted, but other recent classes), while providing no data.by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead

Cornell has retained an architectural firm which is currently designing the building. Don’t know where the building will be located.by CAS - Other Sports
Re: Cornell admissions - 1 year ago
I used one objective measure (high SAT scores) for a recent class (2023) to demonstrate that a substantial increase in the number of applicants may bring more qualified applicants (not uncompetitive ones).by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
I disagree with Robb that the tremendous increase in applicants are of students who generally aren’t that outstanding. The last year that Cornell provided detailed analysis of the applicant pool was for the Class of 2023, when Cornell accepted fewer than 11% of applicants. In that year, the majority of applicants (not admits) had SATs higher than 1450. Since then applications have increased anotby CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
Ahh, the good old days that I remember. Cornell posts admission stats dating back to 1980. The total number of applications received this year are up over 300% compared to 1980 (71K vs 17K), while the total number of admits is actually down 10% this year vs 1980 (4,908 vs 5,456). How many of us older alums would be admitted if we applied today, with the admit rating falling to 6.9% from 32%.by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
Your local experience doesn’t match Cornell’s overall numbers. 95% of entering freshmen graduate, & the median SAT scores of last year’s entering class was 1510 (out of 1600). All the Ivies are currently standardized test optional, but 60+% of the enrolled Class of 2025 still submitted them.by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
Cornell announced today that they admitted 4,908 students to the Class of 2026 (including early decision applicants). With over 71,000 applications, the admit rate fell below 7%. Interestingly 20% of admits were first-generation college students.by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Opponents and Others, 2021-22 - 2 years ago
Quinnipiac’s top 6 scorers this year are all either seniors or grad transfers, so next year’s team will look a lot different than this year’s team.by CAS - Hockey

Re: Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
It’s good that first-year students don’t need to search for Collegetown apartments soon after they arrive on campus. It’s amazing that Cornell now receives over 20 applications for each available spot in the first-year class, & may accept only 1 of every 13-14 applications.by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
Starting next fall, Cornell is requiring all first-year students & sophomores to live on campus or in affiliated housing (e.g. co-ops & Greek housing).by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
All the new dorms should be open next fall. Cornell has gradually increased class size the last few years. Next fall’s projected class size is actually smaller than the class that enrolled last fall.by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Cornell admissions - 2 years ago
Director of Admissions Shawn Felton said Cornell received well over 71,000 total applications for next fall’s freshman class of 3,441. This would be another record, & up over 5% from last year. If Cornell had the same yield as last year (64.3%) for next fall’s class, the admit rate would fall to a record low of 7.5%.by CAS - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: 2022 Takeaways - longest ECAC drought - 2 years ago
Keopple has played well recently (including back-to-back shutouts), & he currently has the 7th lowest goals against average in the USHL. Save percentage is in a tight band among the USHL goalies (except for 1 tender who has already been drafted).by CAS - Hockey
