<p>Hi, I would like to know how cornell college of Arts and Sciences compares with dartmouth, in undergrad business in job placement, prestige, ect...</p>
<p>how does cornell AEM compare with dartmouth in undergrad business..</p>
<p>I'm not sure which to apply to for ED...is dartmouth's undergrad business better than cornell, to the point that its worth taking the risk of EDing at dartmouth???</p>
<p>please help..thx!</p>
<p>Dartmouth doesn’t have undergrad business! That should make your choice easier ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I know that…
but so doesnt harvard, columbia, ect…</p>
<p>I know cornell AEM is very good 4 biz, but how does cornell Arts and Sciences compare to dartmouth</p>
<p>also, whats the official ED rate at cornell & dartmouth, I cant find this info online…</p>
<p>could someone link me up plz…</p>
<p>Cornell Arts and Sciences is basically the Dartmouth undergrad experience surrounded by major research facilities and six other undergraduate colleges.</p>
<p>For a student interested in business, either Cornell or Dartmouth will take you very far – what matters most is how well you apply yourself. Pick a school based on your own preference.</p>
<p>so cornell A & S and dartmouth have similar levels of “prestige”, from the view of top biz firms??</p>
<p>also, whats the cornell AEM Early decision admission rate??</p>
<p>and I still don’t understand how cornell AEM acceptance rate could be lower than Wharton’s…although cornell aem is good, wharton is basically the undisputed best school for anything biz related…</p>
<p>Is the applicant pool for cornell AEM less talented than the wharton applicant pool?</p>
<p>Acceptances rates aren’t really a good barometer for “best”. All they do is measure the number of people who apply relative to the number of people who get in.</p>
<p>well typically lower admission rates signifies a better college…harvard does have the lowest admission rate of the ivies…</p>
<p>then im guessing the applicant pool is lower for cornell aem??</p>
<p>the differences between the two schools regarding academic rankings and business opportunities are small enough that you should choose based on fit, not on some ranking BS. Do you want to go to a small LAC, or a large researchU. Both have strengths and weaknesses. I suggest visit both and decide for yourself.</p>
<p>Cornell…although I am loyal to the Dartmouth XC team.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s not necessarily true. U of Chicago, for example, has a relatively high admission rate. It’s more based on specialization, size of the institution, and popularity / fame. A lot of people apply to Harvard “just because”, so it naturally lowers the rate. That doesn’t really happen with Cornell as much. Plus, Cornell has a lot of specialized fields that attract a limited applicant pool, whereas a school like Harvard is more of a general liberal arts style education. </p>
<p>Dangerous to base your decision on acceptance rates either way. The question’s been answered as best it can by others - it’s just fit on this one. </p>
<p>If you want to focus on only fields covered by A&S and prefer a smaller campus environment, then perhaps Dartmouth is the better for you. If you want more research opportunities and the opportunity to study across diverse disciplines across colleges with extensive programs for each, then perhaps Cornell is a better fit. CayugaRed2005, for example, mentioned some time ago that he did research linking the behavior of, I believe, the habits of bees to that of industrial processes. Cornell’s a good place for that type of outside-the-box inquiry.</p>
<p>If you are unsure about either, maybe you shouldn’t apply ED anywhere. ED is for people who REALLY know where they want to go.</p>
<p>I like both schools almost equally enough…the campuses are very similar, and I dont really care if its large school or small school</p>
<p>However, dartmouth is generally regraded as more prestigous, and I do love skiing (dartmouth is 25 miles from killington resort)…</p>
<p>problem is if I ED at dartmouth, Im not sure if Ill get in (26% admit rate)
if I ED at cornell, I have significantly higher chance (38%)…</p>
<p>Don’t know where you heard that Dartmouth is more prestigious…just saying.</p>
<p>I would say Dartmouth is slightly stronger as a whole for Arts and Sciences, but comparing like Cornell AEM and Dartmouth economics are really, really similar.</p>
<p>Acceptance rate can correlate with “prestige” (if you want to call it that), but a lower acceptance rate does not mean that one school is more “prestigious” than the next. Additionally within the Ivy League, claiming that Dartmouth is more prestigious than Cornell is, in my opinion, laughable. They are peer schools. With the exception of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, the other ivies are all subject to some regional bias and personal opinion as far “who’s the next best.” Choose the school that you will be the most comfortable attending because, unless you transfer, that school will be your alma mater. While it may be tempting to “game the system” with Early Decision, it may not be wise to apply to Cornell ED when you clearly have a stronger attachment to Dartmouth. If you happened to be accepted ED to Cornell, you may regret not having applied to Dartmouth instead. As of now, I would say to apply Early Decision to Dartmouth; however, give yourself more time to think about your interests and where you will ultimately want to go to school. The next undergraduate college application round will be later this year, and you may end up not even wanting to attend either Cornell or Darmouth. Also, since you (as of now) are leaning toward Dartmouth, I would recommend checking out some Liberal Arts colleges in New England, like Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, and Wesleyan.</p>
<p>Not that prestige or name recognition should be the only consideration when selecting a school, but in OP’s case it’s definitely the case. When I travel outside of NE, especially outside of US, Cornell is probably more highly regarded than Dartmouth. I would say many people outside of US don’t even know Dartmouth is an Ivy.</p>
<p>Do you know what you want to specialize in?</p>
<p>The economics program at Dartmouth may be equal to AEM for a field like financing, but if you’re looking more towards marketing/management then you’re going to want a true “business program” which in the Ivies only Penn and Cornell have.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate ED for AEM is around 30% (I think) and regular decision around 10%.</p>
<p>Im looking more towards marketing and management…scrolling down “list of famous alumni” on wikipedia, it seems that both programs have had students rise up to CEO management level position of large companies…</p>
<p>If Cornell AEM really is in fact 30%, I think I would have a slight preference for Dartmouth as my ED.
can someone link me up w/ the official cornell AEM ED numbers?</p>
<p>how does cornell Arts and Sciences and Dartmouth economics compare???</p>

<p>Didn’t I already answer this question for you?</p>
