I was reading Damn, it Feels Good to Be a Banker: And Other Baller Things You Only Get to Say If You Work On Wall Street and came across this hilarious quote about Cornell, under the heading of “Third Tier” schools:

School Slogan: “Cornell–Mediocrity Delivered”

Most people don’t realize that three out of the seven of Cornell’s undergraduate schools are publicly funded, but most people do realize that all seven are lucky to have been part of whatever blunder placed them in the Ivy League. Cornell produces top “scholars” in two things: agriculture and hoteling; everyone else is stoked on whatever finance job or gorge they’re lucky enough to land in.

The book, by the way, is hilarious.
