<p>I'm deciding btw these two schools and need some advice.
I'm not asking for "Which school is better?"
I'm asking for which one would suit my situation better. </p>
<p>I got into UC Berkeley's college of letters and science, undeclared. And, I also got into Cornell's Engineering. I am mainly interested in math, science, and engineering. So, I kinda know that I'm gonna major in something math/science related. But I'm not entirely sure what specific major I'd like to study. </p>
<p>If I go to UCB, then I may transfer to engineering school if I eventually decide to pursue engineering major. Similarly, if I go to Cornell engineering school, I may transfer to other colleges within Cornell depending on what I decide to major in. </p>
<p>More simply, which one should I go if I'm not sure about my major?
It seems like both schools have great engineering programs and other math/science related programs. </p>
<p>any advice?</p>
<p>I am in a similar situation, since I am considering both for premed. Disregarding financial issues, the two schools weigh pretty much the same in my mind. </p>
<p>Berk does have a nice program that supports people going into math/science majors. You should have received an email about the Coalition, an interdisciplinary program that offers advising and research opportunities. Since only a fraction of each class joins this, the faculty and advisors within the program help make Berkeley less impersonal, I guess. (Keep in mind that I am regurgitating what I had gleaned from the presentation about the Coalition.)</p>
<p>Although Berk may have a plethora of research opportunities, the dwindling lack of funding is quite a big con. In this respect, Cornell, to me, is the better school. Still, I, too, would like some advice to further differentiate the two schools.</p>
<p>I got into both schools for engineering and i’m leaning towards Cornell. As I’m OOS Berkeley’s giving me much less aid compared to Cornell. Besides, it’s pretty hard to get the courses and major you want at Cal due to the massive number of students and the lack of funding. Cal has too many problems and I feel life would be much better at Cornell.</p>
