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

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.

Probably one of the greatest finance managers in the world. Will stab everyone in the back and preach about how great he is while cheating on his wife. The myth, the legend, the king of warranties. Probably will end up causing you to have one of the worst reviews in your career. Everyone loves him though.

Probably is the reason all of the corn grows in the world.
Sales person A: "Why did you tell my customer that I lied about his warranty?"
Sales person B: "I did what I need to in order to make myself look better. I'm sorry."
Sales person A: "Stop acting like a Cornell and apologize to them!"
Sales person B: "You're right. I apologize."
