Comparable Schools to Cornell

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I recently visited Cornell and really liked that kind of school it was. What other schools would Cornell students consider to be similar to Cornell that a prospective student would benefit from looking into in his college search?</p>

<p>There are a small LAC's I liked but visiting Cornell gave me more of an interest in mid-sized to large universities. The amount of diversity in the course offerings and the sheer extent and magnitude of everything was really impressive.</p>

<p>If it matters to know I'm interested in social sciences/humanities, my grade average is a low A with lots of APs and my SAT score is ~2300. So for academics I am pretty typical for this level and I don't want anything entirely science devoted.</p>

<p>Cornell is most similar to Northwestern, Penn, and Harvard in terms of an expansive and diverse private research university. Cornell is obviously the only one of those to be in a collegetown.</p>

<p>Farther down the pecking order you will find a lot of the big state schools, like UVa or Michigan similar to Cornell.</p>

<p>Northwester, Penn, Berkeley, and USC are generally the ones that come in mind for me.</p>

<p>I see Cornell as being equal to Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, Northwestern, and Duke and a bit ahead of USC, Emory, Ann Arbor, UVA. Cornell is only slightly behind HYPSM and perhaps Columbia but really all of these schools I mentioned are amazing in their own areas</p>

<p>Cornell College. When written on paper, Cornell College and Cornell University look very similar next to each other.</p>

<p>When D2 was thinking of transferring I sent her some links pertaining to an area of study she was interested in pursuing. I came across that email the other day, and one of the links was actually a program at Cornell College.</p>

<p>I wonder of anyone accidentally submits an application to the wrong Cornell?</p>

<p>But we digress…</p>
