<p>As I mentioned on another thread a couple days ago, Cornell, and <em>maybe</em> Northwestern and CMU, are the only schools where it matters.</p>
<p>Other top schools with different colleges (Duke, Penn, Georgetown, Notre Dame, UVa) pretty much feature a liberal arts college, an engineering college, and a business college. So while there will be some variance, it will be a lot less.</p>
<p>This is as opposed to Cornell, where 50 percent of the students are in niche majors that aren’t offered anywhere else. (Let me know when Princeton offers a program in textile design.)</p>
<p>Nursing schools are so negligible they don’t affect the standing of the school in the slightest. What is at Penn, less than 3 percent of the student body?</p>
