<p>i meant good location as in closer to home (nyc)</p>
<p>would anyone choose Govt. at Cornell over poli sci at berkeley or northwestern?</p>
<p>Yes, I know a government major chose Cornell over Northwestern and Columbia.</p>
<p>I have similar question as elevenblanks. Cornell Gov vs. Poly Sci at Berkeley, Northwestern, & Penn.</p>
<p>StPlayrXtreme....</p>
<p>What is ABET Accredited? Why do u say that with a columbia degree it wont make much of a difference?</p>
<p>Yes, StPlayrXtreme, I know that Cornell doesn't have BME as a major. I looked into all this before making my decision, trust me. One of the biggest reasons why I decided not to choose Cornell is just that. Also, UPenn has such a growing division for BME (its largest eng. field, I believe). Plus, I am thinking about double majoring with Wharton or something of the like. However, Cornell is still a wonderfully great school. I'm sad that I can't choose all my schools to go to, heh. But, what can you do? </p>
<p>Oh, and I didn't choose Columbia because I just didn't think their SEAS was up to par with Cornell's or UPenn's. Of course, it's certainly faaaar from bad, but not as good as Cornell's or UPenn's in my opinion.</p>
<p>will someone comment on mine and loserkev's question about Cornell govt. vs. Berkeley, Penn and Northwestern poli sci. thanks</p>
<p>I am curious to know which school you finally chose...I have a similar dilemma as you but of course mine is for grad school (BME related, chosing between the same 3 schools). I am leaning towards penn as well because they have a good med school and cornell's med school is in a different campus. So what school did you finally decide on?</p>
<p>Just wanted to say that I chose COlumbia over Cornell (more personal reasons than anything). I really loved Cornell, but not everything works out perfectly :(</p>
<p>Bye!</p>
<p>shimmer, I don't think having a med school on campus is crucial to being premed.</p>
<p>I'm sure you already know that 90% of those with a 3.4 or above get into med school. Real world experience is important, but you could volunteer at a hospital over the summer or get involved in research at Cornell. </p>
<p>Also I have heard of many people at Cornell having great luck with intern searches. . .while your achievements speak for themselves, I think Cornell opens some doors in this area too. </p>
<p>While Cornell does not have a BME major, you can major in Biological Engineering with a Biomedical Concentration. . .using many BME courses to meet the requirements (listed as BMEP ### in the course catalog). They also have a masters of BME, and if you are in good academic standing you can get your masters in one year and you don't have to take the GRE exam.</p>
<p>Penn is a fantastic school as well. . . .you really have no bad option. Today's the first, so I'm assuming you've already decided. I just don't know much about it. (I tried to stay in-state so I would not sacrifice scholarships provided for me on the condition that I attend an in-state school Not a big deal, New York State is so big. . . .you can make the change of environment as large or small as you want and still stay in the state)</p>
<p>It seems like everyone here is choosing between very good options.</p>
