<p>any thoughts?</p>
<p>I would say it depends mostly on your major and financial situation.</p>
<p>It came down to those two for me and I went with Cornell.</p>
<p>Could you let us in on some of your reasons Macgruber?</p>
<p>Go to UCI.</p>
<p>Berkeley would be a lot cheaper.</p>
<p>this might be complete BS, but i heard that all ivy leagues provide full financial aid for students who come from households that earn less than $60,000 a year. is this true? i have no idea where i heard this but just making sure…</p>
<p>…and how is cornell’s undergrad business program in comparison to haas? in reputation and transfer rate? any advice would be appreciated thanks</p>
<p>I heard from a friend of mine at UPenn that all the Ivies looked down on Brown because they didn’t provide full aid to low-income families.</p>
<p>laker, are you sure you’re not referring to UCs? The Blue and Gold Plan (I think that’s the name?) provides free tuition and financial aid for students whose household incomes < 60,000. I haven’t heard anything about Ivy’s though.</p>
<p>Haas > AEM</p>
<p>Hands down. No questions asked.</p>
<p>In general, Berkeley > Cornell. When it comes to name recognition on a global scale; Berkeley is far more recognizable than Cornell.</p>
<p>Paul Merage</p>
<p>I don’t know about that… I think Cornell has more name recognition globally. It does out rank Berkeley slightly, not sure if that matters.</p>
<p>In the end, just go where you feel comfortable. Not much difference between the two.
Don’t forget though, Paul Merage= invention of hot pocket. You have to consider that.</p>
<p>Without a doubt, Berkeley has FAR more name recognition than Cornell on a global scale. Berkeley is a common word in many countries outside the US. Cornell? Not so much.</p>
<p>Also, USNWR are biased. Public schools are shoved way way down simply because they are “too big.” Or some other BS. Berkeley > Cornell. Honestly, setting all financial factors aside, would you really trade the best UC for the worst Ivy?</p>
<p>well, technically brown is the worst Ivy, but it makes me think nontheless.</p>
<p>Could you elaborate on how Brown is “technically” the worst? I’m just curious because I have heard it before.</p>
