From six to eleven.
Life is too cruel to bear.
But whether Cornell is sixth or eleventh is virtually irrelevant. Our shortcomings as a university are only truly manifested in a perennial inability to crack the collegiate elite. Simply put, our current trajectory indicates that Cornell won't be joining the Harvards, Princetons, Yales and, dare I even suggest it, the Cal Techs of the world anytime soon. Not a chance. Or as I like to put it, the Natalie Factor.
