<p>As an International student [ From India] i am going to spend a lot of money if i choose either of these schools. can anyone suggest from the perspective of a law school aspirant which of the two would provide a better foundation? plus i want my first degree in business and though i love virginia i sometimes feel that i might end up not getting into mcintire at all. while at cornell i am already in the business program.
and how does OSU business program with honors compare to these two. i know it ranks low but they are giving me a pretty descent scholarship and some people, it appears, simply love ohio state. does ohio send any of its graduates to good law schools? any advice ?</p>

<p>Cornell and UVA are definitely a step up from OSU, so I would choose between those two absent financial considerations.</p>
<p>UVa and Cornell’s business program are about on equal footing, but I think Cornell’s strengths lie in the abillity to tie in other strong academic departments with its business program – e.g. engineering or food science or labor relations or chemistry or psychology. UVa’s academic reputation is a notch below Cornell, maybe not for undergraduate, but definitely in research circles.</p>
<p>i’m not sure what the racial makeup of UVA is…but you’d definitely have more diversity here…</p>
<p>^ but how can you say that if you don’t know the racial makeup of UVa? :)</p>
<p>^Diversity doesn’t only consist of race. I already knew UVa would have way more virginia residents than cornell has NY residents, but after checking the stats they are literally reversed. Cornell is 33% instate/67% OOS, and Virginia is 67% instate/33% OOS. Cornell also has a much lower percentage of white students, with most of the difference being that Cornell has a higher % of Asians/internationals than UVa.</p>
<p>not sure how many ILR courses you can take as an AEM major…but ILR is very great at tackling human resource issues in india and china…</p>
<p>in fact they offer 6 week 2 credit courses on india…</p>
<p>CALS (AEM) is a NY contract school… so I think they probably have a higher percentage of NY residents than the overall #.</p>
<p>Really you can’t go wrong either way.</p>
<p>But what is relevance of the proportion of NYS residents in CALS? While CALS would be the school they would be in, they are still at cornell and living in dorms with all majors. Plus, I would guess that AEM has a lower % of NYS residents than the rest of CALS since it is such a competitive major. I know 5 or 6 AEM majors and none are from NYS. I know a number of NYS residents in CALS, but most are bio majors.</p>
<p>Cornell is generally considered to be a more prestigious school in the United States, just to let you know.</p>
