<p>Forget the education...important as it is, if you want to make it in the business world, you will also need opportunities. Columbia has NEW YORK CITY and I know a TON of SEAS students who land highly envious internships and jobs in the business sector. We're talking about the top positions you can get as a graduate in the financial capital of the world at renowned companies like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, McKinsey, Wachovia, etc. etc. etc. Cornell is in Ithaca...and I don't know of any Ithaca Stock Exchange there...</p>
