<p>What do you guys think of Cornell vs. Colgate?</p>
<p>I'm fairly sure I'm going to go to Cornell, but I wanted to see what you guys thought anyway.</p>
<p>It depends what you are looking for. </p>
<p>Colgate = small student body(2 800)
LAC<br>
More limited academic opportunities</p>
<p>Cornell= larger student body ( 13,000 ) Major research institution
Opportunity to study everything from nanotechnology to wines
Ivy League</p>
<p>What are looking to major in?</p>
<p>Accepted to Engineering, how does Cornell's engineering program rank?</p>
<p>Cornell's engineering is great from what I hear...a quick wikipedia search confirmed...</p>
<p>"Cornell's College of Engineering is very highly regarded in the engineering community, and has been ranked as being one of the top seven engineering programs in the nation by U.S. News and World Report"</p>
<p>you're in, so GO FOR IT</p>
<p>And while I'm here, quick question: I've been accepted to CAS, but I can't find any financial aid information. Is that normal, or can anyone else see theirs?</p>
<p>And does anyone know how Cornell calculates family income/assets? Because I used my dad's info for my custodial parent, but I know Profile has my mom's info too, and if they actually USE my mom's info I'm screwed...I know I can call, but not until Wednesday...</p>
<p>I'm trying to decide between Cornell, Williams, and UVA - I'm interested in studying pure maths/ physics, and plan to then go to grad school - anyone have any insight, something not on the websites anywhere?</p>
<p>Williams. :P</p>
<p>I am accepted at Cornell, Colgate, and Wesleyan. I am planning to major in computer science. </p>
<p>At first, I was thinking I would definitely choose Cornell over the other 2s. But I heard Cornell is cut-throating competitive, and the environment there is not so friendly. Is it really so?</p>
<p>I do not want to get exhausted trying to catch up with crazy Einsteins for all 4 years. </p>
<p>Please someone tell me the truth.</p>
<p>Tsenguun, I think for computer science you'd be much better off at Cornell. I think the department is likely larger than what you'll find at Wes and Colgate since both are much smaller schools with more emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences and so there will be more courses to choose from at Cornell. I think a comp sci degree from Cornell will also be perceived to be stronger than the other two when you graduate.</p>
<p>I can't speak to cut-throatedness at Cornell. It wasn't my experience at all. I've heard the engineering school is more collaborative than cut-throat but perhaps someone else can speak to that.</p>
<p>Hey all,
I'm deciding on Cornell or Univ of Rochester, going to study chemistry and physics, hopefully go into graduate school.
What I really want is a very strong preparation in the sciences.
I wonder why Cornell Arts and Sciences only grants B.A. degrees. Is it only the name or is there a real difference?
BTW, I'm also interested on collaborativeness
I'm so full of doubt!</p>
<p>"Accepted to Engineering, how does Cornell's engineering program rank?"
Unless you got into Stanford, MIT, or Caltech, or Berkeley, I can't think of any reason not to go to Cornell engineering. Of course, it depends on if you want to major in something specific that a certain school may be very good at. But yeah, Cornell can arguably said to be among the top 5 best engineering schools.</p>
<p>T-1 Cornell.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I am currently deciding between UMBC (University of MD Baltimore County) as a Meyerhoff, which I hear is a really good program, Rice, and Cornell. I plan to major in neuroscience. Is there really any difference between going to an okay school and an ivy league, education-wise? I don't know where to go!</p>
