Duke or cornell ed

<p>Well i am thinking bout edin'g to either one of these colleges.
I will be appyling as an engineering major. I would also possibly like to dual major in business adminstration.
What i am looking for in a school:
Strong engineering
Strong business
Nice looking campus
Smaller undergrad (perfer 1000-2000 ish frosh)
Should have overall presitge also
People are chill, like sports etc
I am a conservative ( socialy moderate). I would like a school thats not too liberal.
MY rough stats
SAT=2250
Two highest sat 2's I kinda bombed my third one lol.
chem-760
math 2-790
ACT-33 i redid this hope it got higher.
GPA= 3.98 ( one B but got a 5 on that classes exam)
Weighted gp =4.3ish
rank=top 1%
at end of snr year will have 12 ap's </p>

<p>AS you can see i am in a dilema. My criteria is very much mixed between the two colleges, and i would like to know your guy's opinion
Also i would like to know your opinion bout pratt. Its ranked only 35th but is it still really looked upon well in the engineering world?
Any help would be much thanked for.</p>

<p>If you want biomedical engineering and/or warmer weather and/or DI sports and/or smaller is important, apply ED to Duke. For all other engineering majors, apply ED to Cornell and learn to love snow.</p>
