<p>I was admitted to Cornell's Engineering, and Northwestern's Engineering, and also Northwestern's Integrated Science Program which is a sort of cross-discipline math/science honors program... I am unsure as to whether I would rather be an engineer or an just a scientist since I have never taken an engineering course. If anyone has any thoughts, I would really like to hear them...</p>
<p>NU’s ISP is basically a mini CalTech on campus. If you get through it, your set for life.</p>
<p>And I chose NU over Cornell. (I’m an engineer)</p>
<p>definitely Cornell…all of my friends and my brother’s friends have been successful after coming out of Cornell eng with job positions in Amazon, etc. Also a lot of internationals come and get accepted, I should think it raises the standards as those who apply are ones who get accepted by the likes of cambridge university, imperial, nus in singapore, peking university china etc. Essentially though engineering programs like law and math etc will have the standard rigour. Lastly it carries the ivy name.</p>
<p>Just FYI (I posted that question two years ago), I chose Cornell, and it was an amazing choice. Cornell’s engineering program is stellar (I especially love my major, engineering physics), and the school is wonderful. I am very happy I made the decision I did.</p>
