“It is a real Ivy but it also isn’t a real Ivy”
The Ivy League is an athletic conference. It has nothing to do with its prestige and/or acceptance rates. Cornell is one of the schools in that athletic conference. It’s a “real Ivy”. Case closed.
I agree.
Great video! Just wanted to add some notes as a current Cornell student:
The schools that are "public" are called statutory schools because they receive funding from the State. They are still very much operated by Cornell, and as a student, there is no difference between them and the endowed schools, as you can take classes across every school and college at Cornell. If you are not a NY resident, you still pay the full regular Cornell tuition. If you're a NY resident, you pay 2/3rds tuition. Additionally, many majors are cross-listed across CALS and A&S, so NY residents opt to take them in CALS because it's cheaper.
Also, Dyson is a joint-venture between the SC Johnson school of management and CALS, so it also is statutory and therefore subject to the in-state tuition.
Likewise, ILR is actually the School of Industrial and Labor Relations and not College, as there is only one major.
Oh and additional note, despite Dyson being a contract school, it has a lower acceptance rate than Arts and Sciences which is endowed
Very helpful video
Thanks for the video. However, there were some inaccuracies. For starters Cornell is NOT Public. This is a common misconception due to many not understanding the the Morrill Land-Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890 and Cornell Obligations to fulfill this FEDERAL Mandated Act.
Lets do a deep dive:
Cornell University is a Private Ivy League Land Grant research university located in Ithaca, New York, United States. It was founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White. Cornell is renowned for its breadth of academic programs, research initiatives, and its commitment to both undergraduate and graduate education.
Cornell University comprises several colleges and schools, each offering a range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Here is a list of all the colleges and schools at Cornell University:
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS)
College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP)
College of Arts and Sciences (AS)
College of Engineering (ENG)
College of Human Ecology (CHE)
Cornell SC Johnson College of Business (SC Johnson College)
School of Hotel Administration
Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management
Cornell Law School (LAW)
Cornell Tech (Graduate programs in technology, business, and law)
Cornell Graduate School (Offers various graduate programs across disciplines)
School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR)
Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) - Medical school and biomedical research institution
Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences
Weill Cornell Medicine - Qatar (WCM-Q) - Branch campus in Qatar
Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine
As mentioned before, Cornell University is a land-grant institution, which means it receives funding and support from the federal government under the Morrill Land-Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890. These acts were signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln and to fulfill the Land Grant obligations Cornell has "Contract Colleges."
Therefore, at Cornell University, the term "contract college" refers to certain colleges and schools within the university that have a unique funding arrangement with the state of New York as outlined in the Morrill Acts. These colleges are officially referred to as "contract colleges" because they operate under contracts with the New York State government, which provide them with financial support in exchange for specific educational and public service obligations.
The contract colleges at Cornell University include:
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS)
College of Human Ecology
School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR)
College of Veterinary Medicine
These colleges receive annual appropriations from the New York State government to support their operations, educational programs, and research activities. In return, they are expected to fulfill certain obligations, such as providing education and outreach programs that benefit the citizens of New York, conducting research relevant to the state's agricultural, industrial, and labor needs, and contributing to economic development and public policy in the state.
The contract colleges at Cornell University play a crucial role in fulfilling the university's land-grant mission by leveraging state support to advance education, research, and outreach efforts that address the needs of New York State and beyond
Highlights about Cornell:
1) Pre-Med: Cornell University offers strong pre-medical education and resources for students interested in pursuing careers in medicine.
2) Medical School: Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) is widely recognized as one of the premier medical institutions globally.
3) Pre Law: Cornell University offers strong pre-law education and students in the beginning of their junior year can apply to the law school. This "3+3" law program at Cornell University is an accelerated program that allows students to complete both their undergraduate degree and their law degree in a total of six years instead of the traditional seven.
4) Law School: Cornell Law School is widely regarded as one of the top law schools in the United States and the world.
5) Engineering: Cornell University's College of Engineering is highly esteemed and recognized globally for its excellence in engineering education, research, and innovation.
6) Business: Cornell SC Johnson College of Business is highly regarded as one of the top business schools globally.
7) Veterinary Medicine: The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine is widely recognized as one of the leading veterinary institutions globally.
8) Hotel: The Cornell School of Hotel Administration (SHA) is widely regarded as one of the premier institutions for hospitality management education worldwide.
These are just a few accolades of the Institution. So in closing, Cornell University is NOT and I stress NOT Public. Cornell University is a Private Ivy League Land Grant research university that receives funding through the Morrill Land-Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890 and must fulfill obligations from the act as outlined above.
