<p>can someone tell me what makes cornell engineering better than other schools?</p>
<p>Its not about better than other schools, its about whether its a better fit or not.</p>
<p>Here's a start:</p>
<p>Cornell</a> Engineering : About Cornell Engineering</p>
<p>Cornell</a> University College of Engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>Depends on which schools you're comparing it to. Cornell engineering is ranked top ten in the country and offers great resources - top-notch faculty, excellent research opportunities and funding, a strong student body, extremely rigorous coursework, etc. </p>
<p>It's difficult to compare Cornell engineering to schools like MIT, Stanford, and Caltech, however, as they are academically in a league of their own. I do know of a number of students, though, who turned down acceptances to Caltech because they felt it was too small and not as well-rounded. So whether Cornell is a "better" engineering college for you should depend not only on academics but also on factors that go beyond the classroom.</p>
<p>TP already went over the main points. Things like top-notch faculty or excellent research opportunities may seem generic but they're not. If you look at the underdeveloped engineering programs (even some at top schools), they literally only have a few faculty members and almost no research or facilities for devoted to engineering. Cornell has a very large and very well funded engineering department and you will find everything you need to get a great engineering education.</p>
<p>thnks for the insight</p>
<p>my main decision right now is between upenn and cornel for early decision
any ideas?</p>
<p>for engineering?</p>
<p>are we talking about the same university of pennsylvania here?</p>
<p>For engineering, it's really no comparison.</p>
<p>"are we talking about the same university of pennsylvania here?"
Hahahah..
I was stuck between the two as well, but that was because I'm interested in financial engineering.</p>
<p>even the financial engineering can't compare.</p>
<p>Maybe Columbia can compare in terms of financial engineering, but not UPenn.</p>
