URMs at Cornell/ Columbia
« on: December 06, 2007, 12:51:44 AM »
How does Cornell look at URMs for admission?  Do we have any more of an advantage there than at other schools?  It's a place I really like, and was just wondering if anyone had any experience.

 Anybody on this?  Or anyone with some ideas on very URM friendly schools?  W&L, UVA, U Mich?

I'm asking how much they take URM status into account for admissions.

i've heard people say that columbia weighs it slightly more heavily than its peer schools.  i don't have hard numbers, just what i've heard.

Thanks.

I don't have specifics on URMs and admissions at Cornell/Columbia, but I do know that Harvard graduates more black lawyers than any other Ivy League school.  Cornell does, however, have a tender spot for LGBT applicants.  Its application, along with Penn's, has a check box for LGBT applicants.

I have heard more so than other schools too, but it is hard to determine this. Any statistics would be appreciated.
