Will my application be considered differently depending on whether I attend a public or a private high school?

Cornell looks for students who have taken the greatest advantage of opportunities available to them within the context of their school, public or private. Although we recognize that some schools have more academic and extracurricular offerings than others, we feel it is most fair to compare students who are given the same advantages within a single school rather than compare students coming from two very different schools. Furthermore, we do not have a set quota for the number of applicants we accept from any school.
