Hey, this is the Lehigh Wrestling forum. If Rich wants to post his opinions that are critical of Cornell and how they operate The Family Business, that's his right. If the offended party, in this case a Cornell grad, doesn't like it -- tough.

My opinion: I have no clue what the admission standards are for SUNY-Ithaca; I assume they are slightly less the Ivy Cornell. Couldn't care less. We have gone over this -- it's an advantage that other Ivies don't have. Heck, it's an advantage not many programs have. But in the end it's totally within the rules. So grumble away -- it ain't gonna change.

Granted CU had a watered down line-up this year, but Lehigh has adjusted winning the past 3 EIWA team titles and the past 2 dual meets. Game on.

Ivy League undergraduate student population:
Cornell = 15,182
UPenn = 10,183
Brown = 7,043
Harvard = 6,788
Dartmouth = 6,350
Columbia = 6,202
Yale = 5,964
Princeton = 5,428

Actually it is a compliment to the Community College. I had a friend who for whatever reason spent a year at U of Alabama. when he transferred "home" to Lock Haven, they would accept only As from Bama for credit. I think we all agree that the better SUNY colleges, Ithaca, Bing, Stonybrook, etc has stricter academic standards than LHU.

Hey, don't knock U of Alabama. They've only got a 59% acceptance rate. Tompkins has a 100% acceptance rate.

The hundredth percentile in NYS may be better than the 59th percentile in Bama

Yeah, but one Southerner can lick twenty Yankees --- from the script of Gone With The Wind.

I looked up the average grades and SATs of freshmen at Binghamton a few years ago and got a surprise. They're very high. Not Ivy level, but better than I would have expected from a state u that isn't UNC or UVA.

But how do they compare to Cornell's?

Why don't you do something useful for once and look it up yourself? I'm too busy finishing up on the EIWA season.

An attempt at humor:

"Not Ivy level, "

"But how do they compare to Cornell's?"

You should give up on humor.

Here, at least.

Pretty sure if one of the Lehigh faithful had posted that, you'd have gotten the humor. Context is everything.
