<p>I have a friend who isn’t happy with Cornell. But they are also the only person I know at Cornell. I know anecdotes aren’t evidence, but I haven’t heard excellent things about it. And at Wash U I’ve heard a lot of students are disappointed with the experience because they weren’t actually aiming for Wash U, but for Ivies/Stanford/MIT ect. </p>
<p>Of the schools I know where people WANT to be there: Yale, Stanford, Notre Dame, Pomona, there are probably a lot of others but those are the ones that stick out to me.</p>
