Cornell University
Cornell University is private, coeducational research university located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell is one of eight Ivy League institutions–which are considered by many both academia and industry as some of the most prestigious higher education institutions in the United States. The university was established by Andrew Dickson White (a historian and educator) and Ezra Cornell (a wealth American businessman) in 1865. The institution was originally founded as a comprehensive university that would provide education in all fields of study–an unconventional education model for the time.
Cornell offers undergraduate and graduate degrees through 7 undergraduate academic colleges and 7 graduate studies divisions. In addition to its main campus in Ithaca, Cornell has branch campuses (medical learning centers) in New York City, New York and Education City, Qatar. Even though Cornell is a privately owned and operated institution, three of its undergraduate colleges are "statutory colleges" that receive a substantial amount of the public financial support granted from the state legislature. The university is one of only two land grant universities in the state and as such provides outreach programs in just about every county state wide.
Today, Cornell has nearly 250,000 loay alumni working and living throughout the world. Among its graduates are Rhodes Scholars (28), Nobel laureates (41), Marshal Scholars (31) and many other accomplished businessmen, lawyers, politicians and community leaders. Total annual enrollment at Cornell is roughly 21,000 students (14,000 undergrad and 7,000 graduate) which come from across the United States and over 120 foreign countries.
Cornell University is recognized as one of only two universities in the United States (the other being Oregon State University) that are Sea Grant, Land Grant, Sun Grant and Space Grant higher education institutions.
Academics
While Cornell has nearly 7,000 graduate students, it has an undergraduate class nearly twice that size and is still considered primarily an undergraduate school. Cornell is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and has been since early 1921. Cornell operates on a 3 semester year, with the first and last semesters being 4 months in duration and the middle semester lasting only 3 weeks. Fall semester begins in late August and ends in December. Spring semester starts in January and ends in May. The 3 week winter semester is held during the month of January.
Cornell is known for its long and distinguished academic history. It is a university of many firsts. It was the first university to grant journalism and veterinary medicine degrees. It was the first university to award doctoral degrees in electrical and industrial engineering. It was one of the pioneers in hotel administration, labor relations, Far Eastern languages, American studies and industrial education.

Admissions
Out of the nearly 38,000 applications that Cornell received in 2012, it only accepted 6,100 students, an acceptance rate of just over 16%. Two years prior Cornell's acceptance rate was 19% and the year before that 20%. Cornell is considered to be a selective university and become more selective in recent years. About 90% of entering freshman at Cornell were in the top 10% of their high school graduating class. Their average SAT scores were 720 in Math and 700 in Verbal. All Cornell applicants are required to submit all SAT scores (not a common requirement among U.S. universities). Students at Cornell come from almost every state in the nation and over 120 foreign countries. Nearly 30% of Cornell's undergraduate class is composed of minorities– who are provided special admissions consideration.
Cornell's graduate school has an acceptance rate right around 21%, its law school 20% and its veterinary medicine school 11%, its business school (Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, Full-time MBA program) 10% and its medical school (Weill Cornell Medical School) 4%.
Financial Aid
From its inception, Cornell has been dedicated to providing equal opportunity education for aspiring college students, irregardless of financial status. Within ten years of its founding in 1865, Cornell began admitting both women and minorities, an uncommon practice for the time. It was also one of the first universities to provide students with financial assistance through student loan and work-study programs. As early as 1880 the school began offering need-based grants, and shortly thereafter scholarships.
In cooperation with other Ivy League insitutions of the era, Cornell began to set standards for student financial aid policies, procedures and practices. In 2010, Cornell instituted a "matching" policy where it will match any financial aid incentives offered to any accepted applicant from any other Ivy League schools including Duke University, Stanford and MIT if the student trying to decide which institution to attend based on the financial aid package.
Recently Cornell introduced a new financial aid policy which replaces need-based student loans for undergraduate students from families with incomes less than $75,000 a year with scholarships. For students from families that make between $75-120k a year, need-based loans have been capped at $3,000 annually and for families with incomes over $120,000, need-based loans are extended up to $7,500 a year. This new financial aid policy is costing Cornell an additional $14 million per year which is being financed by pulling funds from the university's endowment and donations by wealthy donors. About 40% of Cornell's entering freshman class qualifies for need-based loans and scholarships. Currently, the average Cornell undergraduate student graduates with about $21,000 of debt.
International Education Offerings
As a higher education institution dedicated to international studies, Cornell offers its undergraduate students a comprehensive selection of programs with an international focus. These include majors and degrees in German Studies, French Studies, Jewish Studies, Latino Studies, Africana Studies, Romance Studies, Russian Literature, Near Eastern Studies and Far Eastarn Studies. For more adventurous students, Cornell offers various study abroad education programs at international locations throughout the world.
For students interested in pursuing a major in any of the Asian Studies (e.g., South East Asia, China and Asia-Pacific or South Asia) Cornell offers an excellent study abroad program in Beiging, China through a cooperative agreement with Peking University. A similar agreement has been set up with Tsinghua University to exchange graduate students and faculty with Cornell's College of Engineering and another with Nanyang Technological University to exchange students with Cornell's School of Hotel Administration. Other exchanges have been established between Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and University of the Philippines-Los Banos and the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences in Japan. One more noteworthy association exists between Cornell and the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Together these two institutions offer a joint course on international consulting.
Through the Weill Cornell Medical College campus in Qatar, Cornell focuses on training doctors to assist in medical efforts and administration of health care services throughout the region. In cooperation with Stanford University and the countries of Israel and Jordon, Cornell has developed a comprehensive database of the living organisms and systems that exist on the border between these two countries. Through a partnership with Canada's Queen's University, Cornell now offers an innovative, state-of-the-art Executive MBA program that provides both on-campus and online learning options.
Cornell University is a strong proponent of the United Nations and is one of several members of the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI), an association developed for the sole purpose of aligning colleges, universities and research institutions with the United Nations.
Student Life at Cornell
While Cornell is well known for its reputation as one of the top academic undergraduate higher education institutions in the nation, its just as well known for its exceptional student life. Below we'll address a few of the many facets (e.g. activities, housing, athletics, etc.) of student life at Cornell that set the university apart from the competition.
Student Activities and Organizations
Cornell has approximatey 900 official student organizations and clubs, which include everything from fencing to jousting to singing to competitive chess to politics to video gaming (and everything in between). Cornell's extensive selection of student run organizations and clubs are financed by student fees, membership fees, academic departments, the Graduate & Professional Student Assembly and the Student Assembly. Together these later two groups have an annual budget of just over $3 million. In addition to student organizations, the Student Assembly and Graduate Assembly provide financial assistance to an on-campus student theater and concert commission.
Some of the more popular student organizations on campus include the International Affairs Society, the Cornell Catholic Community, the Big Red Marching Band and the Cornell University Glee Club, among many others. Each year Cornell's International Affairs Society hosts a Model United Nations Conference on campus for roughly 500 politically minding high school students and sends over one hundred of its own students to Model United Nations conference held at colleges and university across the United States. The Cornell Catholic Community organization is the largest Catholic organization at the university. Another similar student organization is the Cornell United Religious Work group which pulls in students from varied and diverse religious backgrounds, faiths, denominations and traditions. While one of Cornell's most popular music groups, the Big Red Marching Band is by no means Cornells only music group. Cornell is home to what seems like a never ending list of music groups and organizations including a classical music group, jazz music groups, reggae music group, ethnic styles music group, etc., etc. The Cornell University Glee Club, a sixty-member chorus of male singers, holds the record for being Cornell's oldest student organization. Cornell is one of the few Ivy League universities to sponsor several secret honor societies (e.g., Quill and Dagger, Sphinx Head, etc.), some of which date back over 120 years. One of Cornell's student groups, a think-tank, was established specifically to think of ways to improve life on campus for students.
