<p>I got accepted to john hopkins, columbia seas, dartmouth, cornell eng and carnegie mellon. JH and CMU were the first ones out of my list. Just letting you know. I’m just having trouble deciding whether to pick columbia seas or cornell eng</p>
<p>Cornell likely has better resources, but overall has a better engineering program (but not by much). Visit both before you decide, and choose based off which you think will be best for you.</p>
<p>Cornell engineering is also fairly better than Columbia.</p>
<p>You need to figure out two things:</p>
<p>1) Would you like to be a real engineer that actually builds stuff, or be a faux-engineer who is just hoping for a Wall Street job? If the former, go to Cornell.</p>
<p>1a) If you are really interested in biomedical engineering and not any other type of engineering, strongly consider Hopkins.</p>
<p>2) Do you want to be in an inexpensive, fun, laid-back collegetown, or do you want to spend your collegiate years in a huge city? If the former, go to Cornell.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That seems to be a really common one. I do get the impression that Cornell is the more technical of the two in terms of student priorities. Cornell engineering is really big on project teams. A lot of students here (myself included) do internships and research over the summers. On the other hand, a couple of my friends at SEAS have told me that lots of students there lean more towards finance (and they are both working in Wall Street this summer). Not that either school would exclude you from either option, but being in the city and all I think Columbia and its students gravitate more towards finance jobs.</p>
<p>pick cornell.</p>
