<p>I've received admissions into both Cornell arts and sciences and Georgetown McDonough business. Both have really great qualities and their downsides, so I'm sort of caught in between. A critical factor for me is my future career potential based on these two colleges, and I'm interested in something in the financial sector or business in general. I'm planning on visiting both schools.</p>
<p>Cornell
Pros:
Ivy league (the reputation and name goes a long way)
Best friend is going there (settling in will be much easier and more fun)
Big school (can be nice sometimes)
Great food
Supposedly better overall recruitment potential</p>
<p>Cons:
Cold and dreary (I hate long winters and rain)
Big long island attraction
Surrounding town is granola-y
Big school (sometimes too big)
Some emphasis on frats (I don't mind it, but it'd be nice to not have to worry about it, especially since sports is also a crucial factor for frats and i'm more interested in club sports)</p>
<p>Georgetown
Pros:
Great weather (love the sun)
Business school (good for training but idk how important for recruitment?)
Nicer dorms and overall campus feel
Small (closer community and classes)
Preppy(er)? (love the culture and style)
Strong international
Finance-specific major
Supposedly less cutthroat
DC access</p>
<p>Cons:
Potentially not as high up in reputation for recruitment
Non-ivy
Crappy main library</p>
<p>It's pretty obvious I'm leaning more towards georgetown right now but idk what would be better for me in the long run. Both experience and future career are very important, but I just want to know what others think.</p>
