<p>I just got into WUSTL Arts & Sci for a math/eco major, and I'm already admitted into ILR at Cornell. I didn't think that I had any shot at either one, now that I got in both I have a really tough decision. The main criterion is which school would be better at getting a really good job right after I graduate, although I'm looking to get into a really good business school so I don't know how much the undergrad would matter anyway. Being from NYC I know Cornell would have a better rep, and any input would be great.</p>
<p>WITHOUT QUESTION: Take Cornell is name cache is important or job prospects are most important. </p>
<p>Don't get me wrong, WUSL is a terrific school in many ways. In fact, it may even better in some ways educationally over that of Cornell. However, you aren't going to beat the Cornell name. Moreover, I know a couple of folks who have graduated from WUSL and haven't found employers that knowledgable about the school.</p>
<p>That said, I think you should go with the school that fits your personality and style best. If you get a great GPA from one school because it is a better fit, this would be much more imporant than the name. </p>
<p>However, assuming equal preference, take Cornell and don't look back.</p>
<p>good advice, and it's true how so many people don't know about WUSTL that well yet, I'm defintely leaning towards Cornell. I know that both campuses are gorgeous and have great people so they won't really factor in that much. One thing people say is that WUSTL might be easier to get a high gpa for grad school, then again some people say ILR isn't as tough either so I don't know.</p>
<p>Also, consider location. Do you want to work in the Midwest or on the east coast? </p>
<p>Also, consider other major courses you want to take--lots of sciences, go with WUSTL; courses in architecture or engineering--I'd go with Cornell.</p>
<p>Well at both schools I'd focus on business and economics type courses, and east coast is better than the midwest although it doesn't matter where I work as long as I'm making a ton of money.</p>
<p>And you would be making more money in the northeast.</p>
<p>Cornell for sure</p>
