  • wow you took it pretty well

  • i'm the valedictorian of my school ( not bragging) and I got rejected from cornell as well. This just happened today. I'm sooo upset </3 .

  • He's so rejected that they didn't even give him an envelope!

  • Comment removed

  • bringing back socks with Sandals

    WHAT WHAT WHAT

    socks with sandals

  • aww poor guy. There's other elite colleges to go to according to the 50topcolleges website

  • Would you ever consider going to Cornell for graduate study or has that love you had for it just been lost?

  • Did Cornell see the flip flops with socks??

    Cuz at my university (PoDunk U) you wouldn't have been able to park your car, let alone go to school with those monstrosities of fashion.

  • I'm going to become a foreign exchange student to Singapore for my Senior year, and i'm going to be applying for Cornell there I hope I get in ):< (cause I want to be a vet)or ill do exactly the same thing you did. Except freak out much more. lol

  • Why was the letter not in an envelope?

  • Dude I am soooo doing that. no joke. lol rejections suck.

  • lol what i wanted to do today . . . but it's raining :(

  • The video definitely seems to have a sense of humor.... that is not something that many Cornellians have. It is not a great Ivy League phenomenon.

  • dude i'm sorry u got rejected but wth keep it to urself + there's always transferring

  • @00jimjones wtf? he has every right to post a vid...if you don't want to watch it, don't. that's the beauty of youtube

  • @TenorSaxFace that's my bad. sry he got rejected. i actually transfered to a top 5 school after being rejected from there. good luck to this guy if he ever thinks of doing somethin like dat.

  • hahaha... i did same too.. this is the best technique to overcome the rejection depression ;DD

  • so many views

  • lol oh man..... truth be told.

  • or indian?

  • its cause youre mexican

  • the only thing technical about technical college is that its community college...time to join the mixer with the lazy late bloomers and the downtrodden single moms!

  • You wore socks with Flip Flops thats why you got rejected

  • lol spot on!!

  • @Zeon123 I was gonna say that that should have been instant acceptance

  • failed burning job

  • hahaahha the book isn't burniing

  • socks with slippers?

  • LOL Book didn't burn

  • there is a lesson here

  • ...and yet Brown is consistently ranked lower than Cornell. But you knew that... because you are theivyleaguer. I hope you appreciate what Daddy did for you.

  • brown is a shit school that is full of potheads...

    cornell is a public school that people somehow mistaken as being ivy...same with penn...

    i wish they would just disappear

  • I'm sorry you didn't get accepted to either, goobertay. Perhaps schools that are actually full of potheads and public would be more up your alley.

  • Bitter much?

  • hmmm

    what the fuck are you talking about...

    isnt cornell a public school?

    if it acts like a dog, looks like a dog, and tastes like a dog...then by golly, it must be a dog

    ;-)

  • if you actually went to an ivy league school, you'd know that only some schools within Cornell are publicly funded. you'd also recognize that getting into any top 15 school isn't a piece of cake. it's so pathetic that you have to lie to show off on the internet...jackass

  • lols

    dont hang your shit on me just because you went to cornell. i actually did go to an ivy and it happens to be in boston hmmmmmmmmm

    also, i was being facetious when i called cornell a public school (hint: it was a knock on the size of the student body population), but of course the meaning flew right over your head. its expected, when receiving a second rate education.

  • LOL after all your "CORNELL SUCKS, UPENN SUCKS" exclamations, you come here and tell everyone that you actually went to Cornell.

    Sure, even if you did graduate from an Ivy school, from the looks of it, you sure didn't benefit from any of the educational opportunities there!

  • @goobertay People who go to Harvard normally say that Harvard is in Cambridge, not Boston. The only legit part of Harvardthat is in Boston is the business school. There is no way you are in business or attended the business school-you are far too intolerant and ignorant for that. Even if you did go to Harvard, it doesn't make you or your education superior. An education is what you make of it-what you learn from your teachers/professors. You seem to have learnt nothing other than arrogance.

  • are you some bitter cornell junkie?

    i went to a real ivy, which affords me the privilege of shitting on you dumb fuckers hahaha

    getting into cornell is like bragging to your friends that you got laid by a hooker.

    ;-)

  • If cornell was filled with arrogant asses like you, then I wouldn't want to go there.

    :] Good job! You got into the school with one of the highest suicide rates.

  • says the person who probably got rejected from cornell.

  • Actually, no. I'm not even applying there this year.

  • you know wats even wose, getting accepted and it costing too much (fuk my life : ) )

  • How did you get accepted with such bad grammar? I thought Cornell was a school for intellectuals. I guess I was wrong!

  • were intelligent enough to know when to care about grammar.

  • Grammar isn't something you decide to pay attention to in order to apply for college. If you're really as smart as you say, then good grammar should come naturally every single time, whether you're writing or speaking.

  • I never said I was intelligent at all, u just labled ppl that way. and yes, there are places on the interwebz wher gramar dont rly matter like this utube coment section. Do you think I should write like I'm writing a research paper, all the time?

  • So you just admitted that you are not intelligent...And yes, I label Cornell students as intelligent. Care to disagree?

    :] Even when you tried to use correct grammar, you failed.

  • Intelligent people use correct grammar all the time.

  • @tearitrightup if you don't get accepted it doesn't mean you're not intelligent

  • @kundimaharaj: I know, if you've been following this conversation at all, I just meant that I think Cornell students are intelligent. I never mentioned that I thought people who got rejected from that school are dumbfucks. Got it?

  • ha you can get in just go to TC3 a local community college and transfer in. You can save money and claim residency after a year. Then apply to one of several of the State schools at cornell and you will get in. You only need a 3.0 gpa to transfer in. I am from the area and this is a easy and less expensive way to get in.

  • Dream on townie lol...

  • shit, this may be me in a couple of days.

  • i'm sure if you had the opprutunity to apply to cornell, you still succeeded and went to a great school. sorry for the loss. lol. my friend was accepted into cornell this year. he owns about nine sweatshirts and now he has sweatpants and a hat. its a little insane.

  • I just hope I'm not this guy in a few months!

  • FOR CORNELL

    you NEED 2500 SAT scores,a score of 900 on SAT II Math Level II, Chem, Physics tests

    and a 6.0 GPA out of a 4.0 scale.

    so yeah no one gets accepted there...thats how elite they are

    in fact they have only released 1 piece of data regarding their admission, their acceptance rate which is a -17%

    that means they kick out 17% of their students each year, they accept 0

    OH AND EVERY CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN SINCE KINDERGARTEN HAS TO BE AP..

    HONORS JUST DOESNT CUT IT.

  • pretty ELITE huh?

  • Not too worry - it's the bottom feeder of the Ivies

  • youre insulting one of the best schools in the country yet you are unable to differentiate between "to" and "too"...

  • yeah, reject.....that fits the description.

  • i find it ironic that the folder never burns. it just puts the fire out. anyway, funny vid!

  • if you dont mind me asking: what score did u get in your SAT?

  • If you are applying to Cornell, don't use your SAT score to determine whether you should apply or not. I'm a student at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations and I never even took the SAT/ACT exams because I was a terrible student in high school. I decided to finally try college when I was 25 and a bit more grown up. I did very well at community college and Cornell looked at that as well as my work experience since my "D" performance in high school. (To be continued...)

  • (Continued...) It is really important to understand that while Cornell definitely appreciates and highly values good performance, they are most interested in finding good students who are a "good fit" for their programs. That is, they want students who can demonstrate a bona fide interest in the programs to which they are applying during the very competitive admissions process. For example, my "fit" for Industrial and Labor Relations was demonstrated by years of experience as a union leader.

  • This does not mean that everyone has to meet such a high standard. The type of activities in which you participate, the courses you choose, etc. are all taken into consideration. Some schools (like ILR where I am) require an interview. This was a great chance to talk about how you would fit in with the program. (This requires good research on the school to which you're trying to gain admission.)

  • Question, cause im a paranoid freshman in high school... Lets say, if I were to get an 80% b in honors algebra then I manage to pull off 97's and 98's for the rest of the 3 marking periods in my freshman year, can my gpa for that class only reach a 3.5? Or can those high 90's pull it up to a 4.0? Im ultra confused:(

  • Your GPA is determined by the final grade of the course. This was the case where I went to high school and community college before arriving at Cornell. As long as your final grade (reflective of your entire year) is an A, you would have earned a 4.0 for that course. Why should you be punished with anything less than a 4.0 if your overall performance earned you an A in a given course? You will pretty much lose your PERFECT 4.0 as soon as you earn a final grade of A- or lower.

  • As far as I understand it, report cards (first quarter, semester, third quarter) are merely "progress reports" to see where you stand at the present in that course.  On your final year, colleges will not know your final grades since their decisions are made before you finish school. Some will require a midterm report. That is, some will require your teachers to report on a form what your average in the class is up to that point.

  • son you have not realized that smoking bud and getting drunk once a week will lower your gpa some soon ou will find out the joys in a year or two

  • Big Red!

  • to respond to the person who said "sore loser" what is your problem? First, clearly this was a joke type clip. Second, you clearly don't know how it feels to be rejected from a school that you loved so much so shut up.

  • First of all, I see it as an affront to my alma mater and really don't see any humor in it. I do see he's trying to make a point but he could have made it more respectfully. I was rejected by many places but I did not burn a Stanford brochure and post it just to insult Stanford. Second, there's a right to free speech. xsource can post his views and so can I. I might be a tad harsh by calling him a loser (my apologies to him) but I won't feel bad calling you an ass.

  • Come on! Those who got accepted in Cornell (or their school of choice) are glad they didn't have to live this moment, and thoses who didn't can relate to it.

  • Dude -

    As a Cornell grad, I think the video was fine. It is not like he pretended to snipe kids on "Libe Slope" or something.

    There is always 1. transfers or 2. grad school. Burning paper purges the soul.

  • Is it really that it matters that lot in the U.S. which university you graduated from to get a decent job ? In Germany it matters very little...if your grades are excellent you will get nearly any job you want.

  • Prestige! Prestige! Prestige! Otherwise, every college in the World has the same books and the same ideas to teach.

  • I bet some of the so called "cornellians" who said it's better to be rejected are just bitter that they were either not up to the competition at cornell or just bitter at being rejected. Cornell is a great school and i did well there and i learned better with smart ppl. It isn't any colder than boston or nyc and there's plenty of time to do interesting stuff if you know how to manage your time and be efficient. sorry xsource, you're just a whining sore loser.

  • Thanks for watching! :)

    I'm glad you went to Cornell, hope you saw the article published in the Cornell Daily Sun about my video!

  • i always wanted to say this... CORNY CORNELL !! peace :)

  • be happy you didn't come. Trust me.

  • y? its good right? so u must be very lucky

  • hey xsource, whered u end up going?

  • Hey, I went to the University of Texas. I'll be a junior in August. Hook 'em!

  • I think you're being too melodramatic about your rejection. Getting rejected is not the end of the world. There's more to life than just Cornell. Besides, Cornell is a good school. Obviously for some of you guys, you're probably pissed at the fact you didn't get in and so you're debasing it. Grow up and get a life. Rejection isn't the end of the world.

  • i wanna beat the shit out of you

  • Thanks for watching :)

  • omg ur reply was so funnt rofl

  • Yeah. I got wait-listed. Going to Northwestern though.

  • Awesome, good luck there!

  • this is me right now! but its ok, UVA is good enough for me! hoos '12

  • i got wait-listed

    UVA!

  • sorry to hear that bro.

  • Strange, you seem like every other asshole at cornell, why did they reject you?

  • assholes at cornell? what are you talking about?

  • Thanks for watching :)

  • LOL the book didn't even get a scratch!

  • what's the name of the song at 1:02 second?

  • Usher-Let it Burn

  • haha you're lucky you didn't get in man.. i got raped for 4 years straight

  • what's wrong with cornell?

  • nothing...just that it's pretty cold up here

  • hahaha omg. i just realized i should have done the same thing to my Cornell viewbook. i was more...passive about my rejection. Great video, i very easily related.

  • so where do u go to school now? omg duude, im gonna apply to cornell next yearr yikes!

  • I go to UT now.

    Good luck with your application!

  • I live in Knoxville. :O

  • i feel that regardless of whether or not being at Cornell sucks, this video expresses accurately what's probably a common occurrence throughout the industrialized world, and for that should be commended.

  • trust me...u lucky u didnt get in. im pullin off a 3.2 and this was only my first semester. mind u most of my friends are getting 2.3s and 2.6s. i wish i had been rejected.... :(

  • i got in

  • I just want you to know its k....there is bigger plan and Cornell was just standing on your way!!!!If you must know....I saw lot of rejections before getting to medical school !!!

  • thats how i am gonna react this april

  • Agreed.

  • agreed.

  • How is it a hellhole?

  • What's the classical piece called?

  • The 1812 overture.

  • Maybe the Cornell Admissions Office saw this video and how you wouldn't use an envelope to re-open the rejection letter, if they were to send one. Or CU just personally trisects the letter and gently places it into your mailbox.

  • Man, you're acting like a nut. But funny. I'd do the same thing.

  • ivy league is over rated, i would much rather go to a school like vanderbuilt or grenelle.

  • Check my nick, it says it all..

    Rejected by Cornell? F..g good for you!

  • i love this video. check it out on the website ivyleaguerejects dot com

  • College sux your all man lovers go die be a failure live the good life.

  • Yeah dude, I'm graduating this year too. Like koolyokam007 says, you're not missing much. Rediculous charges, never feeling like you're good enough, insane amounts of work. I can't wait to get out. Don't transfer either, they treat transfers like second class citizens...until they want money. I know, I was one. Burn that book!

  • im about to graduate class of 07...you really are not missing much at all...except horrible weather, impossible amounts of work, extreme stess and isolation, shitty dating scene. I wish i had transferred at times. all we do here is study, not sleep, get overcharged for everything, freeze, and get drunk as hell to drown our pain and boredom on the weekends at the million and one frat houses they have here. enjoy your time at Utexas and just do well and apply for an Ivy grad school.

  • sausage parties at cornell? lol

  • this video sucks...now i know why you got rejected

  • hahaha i think they should rescind your rejection just for that video

  • i got rejected too...i kno how u feel...but! im going to rutgers university now and im very excited :-D

  • hahaha I got in...

  • no u didnt

  • Saw an article about youe video in the daily sun. awesome

  • maybe if you stopped wasting your time making stupid videos and actually used that time to study - you'd get in. But hey, there's always community colleges...

  • this guy should try to transfer...Cornell will reward his creativity

  • i'm at cornell right now hahahahaha!

  • LOL I love how the Cornell booklet pretty much extinguishes the flames and stays bright red the whole time. HAHA shows how much Cornell is unaffected by ya dude.

  • Look at that sucker. Refuses to burn... haha

    Sometimes its luck of draw. I have no idea how I got into Weill...

  • HAHA

    I got in

  • Sorry dude! A+ for effort. We searched for "bulldog' and your video came up. You're not as entertaining as the skateboarding bulldog, but we still appreciate your effort. Sorry you didn't get in - my friend did! She's a lawyer. She's really smart. Good luck!

  • How did you get rejected already? The admission decisions come back on the 29th. Unless you were rejected on early decision... which means you had no shot anyway.

  • this was last year buddy, i'm gonna be a sophomore at the university of texas.

  • I knew you lived in TX, all houses look the same!lol

  • send the admissions crew this video! they actually might reconsider, no joke

  • Cornell's nice, but way too cold. We're buried in snow right now. Good choice you made, going to Texas. :)

  • His house is pretty nice. He should just skip college and live off his parents

  • not that this is gonna make you feel any better, but if i was going to do it all over again, i'd go to a nice state school that was cheaper, and i'm not paying if my kids want to go.

    college-like life- is what you make of it

    CU '02 arts n sciences

  • I'm going to the university of texas

  • Hook 'em HORNS!

  • socks and sandels! rock on!!

  • haha its not a big deal im sure ur somewhere good if u even applied to cornell (class of 09' bitches!!!)

  • ha ha ha ha ha hahah  cornell grad 2001!!! ha h aha

  • Well, I rejected Cornell LOL. I got into their PhD program but I just didn't like the people I met there. So yeah. I don't know if I am missing out or not, but I am sucking big cocks in here :)

  • ahahhaha i go to cornell, don't worry - you aren't missing much! haha

    nice job

  • nice video, just work on your editing. don't worry about not getting in cornell, there are lots of good schools out there.

  • fuck, i thort u wer talking about CHRIS CORNELL. fuck this shit

  • Yeah, I agree that my time at CU wasn't the best... but WOW it taught me how to work hard. With your creativity, you will do well in the world (regardless of which school you attend).

  • CU engineering '03. yeah, it was hard, but hey, it landed me my current job, now pulling 6 figures.

  • 100,000 = 6 figures?

    how much, exactly, do you make and what do you do?

  • but ur dumbass is here on youtube bored as a MF..

  • I feel ya. I got the same thin envelope. Wish you the best!

  • Yea, you really aren't missing very much.

    CU '05

  • Cornell grad 05. I had good a pretty good time, but trust me, it ain't that great.

  • Sanjo, do you go to Cornell? I can't tell: are you an Apparel Design major, or perhaps a Hotelie? You owe this nice kid an apology.

  • Didn't you get the notice? We don't let kids in who wear socks with flip flops (or sandals for that matter). There's always grad school if you can kick the habit in time.

  • I graduated in May... it would have been just as sweet if it were from any other school... CU 06

  • Haha I got in. Sometimes I wish I didn't.

  • Haha. I did something similar to Binghamton's letter. I took my paintball gun and proceeded to shoot the letter until it became nothing but some colored, liquid goo. Europa, cornell requires an average of 90+ and old sat scores hovering around the range of 1350+, but they do accept quite a few people in the lower grade percentiles, and the school has one of the highest acceptance rates out of all the eight Ivy League schools out there.

  • don't worry. you're not missing THAT much.

  • I got rejected too  :(

  • Are you sure they got the right SAT scores? I'm so sorry you didn't get in- but I bet you'll go somewhere you like even better!

  • aww, i hope you got into a better school. all the best!

  • I feel you too man.

  • Brilliant!

    Love the change of music, the change of moods accompanying them. (Or vice versa.) Well chosen!

    And great dancing. I only wish my Net wasn't so slow it was so jerky! :D

  • its ok jamal, you're still awesome!

  • socks with sandals...lol
