Brown (COE) vs. Cornell (Economics)

<p>I've been accepted to Brown, Cornell, and Georgetown. I'm looking at Brown's COE concentration, and Cornell's Economics major. I'm interested mainly in economics, but I was attracted to Brown's COE because of its multidisciplinary approach. What about Cornell's AEM? Any thoughts on that?</p>

<p>which school at georgetown were u accepted to?</p>

<p>I was accepted to the College.</p>

<p>in terms of what you want to do:</p>

<p>cornell>georgetown>brown.</p>

<p>so go with cornell.</p>

<p>the vast majority of students choose brown over georgetown and cornell. furthermore, there are many more students at georgetown and cornell that didn't get into brown than vice versa</p>

<p>cornell's AEM is different from Economics. If you got into cornell's Applied Economics and Management program at the agricultural school, go there. If not I would go to Brown, Cornell then georgetown. In my opinion, you have applied to AEM and Mcdonough</p>

<p>Actually, I got into Georgetown and Cornell's Colleges (not that I couldn't transfer into another college after one year if I wanted to). Brown's COE has all of the math & econ requirements of an econ major, plus other things. I don't know as much about Cornell's regular econ major, but as I understand, it has few requirements, and I could take courses that would prepare me for Business or Law school (or grad econ studies, if I wanted).</p>

<p>Proof. Give me a link. Don't say its innate, either.</p>

<p>Honestly? I think both Cornell and Brown are on par with one another. If you ask me, it just comes down to cost. <em>shrug</em></p>

<p>I would go to Brown. I did not know about the COE program. AEM is a really good program too, and I'm sure Cornell's economics program is pretty good as well. I think you do have to take into account social considerations...like you should enjoy college while you're studying to get a degree from one of these great universities.</p>

<p>godsend, as you can see in this New York Times article, 76% of students choose brown over cornell and 78% of students choose brown over georgetown.
The</a> New York Times > Week in Review > Image > Collegiate Matchups: Predicting Student Choices</p>

<p>brown admits 13% and yields nearly 60% of these students.
cornell admits more than 20% and yields less than 50% of these students
georgetown admits more than cornell and yields even less students</p>

<p>the combination selectivity (measured by admit-rate and yield), along with the cross-admit data, demonstrates that there are more people at georgetown and cornell that didn't get into brown than vice versa</p>

<p>cornell does not admit more than georgetown. georgetown had an 18% acceptance rate this year compared to cornell's 20.4. Georgetown is also much more selective because their applicant pool is more competitive...gtown does not accept the common application and gets far fewer "throw-in" applications...as far as a career on wall street MSB>Cornell AEM>Brown>Georgetown non MSB>Cornell non AEM</p>

<p>What kind of internship opportunities are there at Cornell? Seems a bit removed...</p>

<p>cornell AEM get top recruiters from goldman, lehman, bearsterns(not anymore lol) and most of the top banks. The hotel school is good at well... hotel manageement but i heard their real estate and marketing program is top notch too. The other schools industrial relations and arts & science is exactly heralded as a top notch school</p>

<p>bump...........</p>
