Calling all Cornell (Johnson) Fall 2009 applicants!

I would say that all schools are "friendly" to indian applicants. I mean there are a ton of talented, very intelligent applicants from india and of course admissions officers want them at their school. And, just like any other demograghic, they can't fill up an entire class. A class is not going to be more than 20-30% bankers, consultants, IT, northeasterners, westerners, indians, chinese or europeans. Schools try to put together a diverse class. So, any school where one portion of their applicant pool is overrepresented will make it tougher to get an admit from that pool. It seems that cornell is a school where indians are an overrepresented part of the pool. At the same time, I would still say that (like all schools) cornell is indian applicant "friendly". In fact, I think they have one of the highest (enrolled) indian populations of any top school.
