Your damn college isn’t inclusive!!!!!
How many applicants do YOU reject every single year??!!
Precisely correct. Plus you can bet that many of the faculty of Cornell (among other nominally ‘elite’ universities) think of themselves as superior to the faculty from less ‘prestigious’ universities. They are mired in pedigree, and this is about as ‘exclusive’ as you can be. It's just more hypocrisy from people too ignorant to know that they are ignorant. Ignorance and being credentialed in ‘higher education’ are not mutually exclusive - by any means.
