1. an elite Ivy League college often scorned by the other Ivies for having an "easy" admission rate, a fallacy that many people tend to buy. At 11% (2019-20), Cornell's admission rate is, in reality, one of the most selective schools in the United States and in the English-speaking world. By comparison, the admission rates of the most prestigious UK schools such as Cambridge and Oxford are at 15-20%.
2. The only Ivy that doesn't issue a diploma inscribed in Latin. Until this day schools with a long historical standing like Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Brown, Penn, Princeton and Columbia still issue fancy Latin diplomas. Whereas younger colleges like UChicago, Stanford and MIT founded since the late 19th century only issue modern English diplomas.
3. One of the most comprehensive universities. Like Harvard and Penn, Cornell has all the major schools including Law School, Business School, Medical School, School of Engineering, School of Design, and the College of Arts and Sciences

The home of an elite group of scholars at whom Harvard students laugh from ages 18-22, and work for until retirement.

A ruler among men. He is the prophet who makes the ultimate profit margins. He comes in with the cornstocks, remains Bible based, is unable to be cancelled, and has a steady diet of frozen peas and salas, but always separately. He spends his free time door dashing and digging used lottery tickets out of trash cans, putting his earnings away towards his house mortgage. He always gets the best gifts for his wife- Bitcoin. He is absolutely based, and allows no one to graduate from his class.
"Did you hear what Cornell just said?" "Yeah, you can't cancel Cornell, baby!"
Guys can't sit on white couches- why? Cornell said so.

He is sweet, kind, and listens to you. He knows how to make you laugh and feel like you're a part of something. He's the drippiest guy in school by far, and has the cutest smile and the sweetest laugh. If you know a guy named cornel, keep him in your life forever. No one can ever replace the feeling he gives you. I can't wait to spend every day with him. He really is, so cool <33
