<p>Duke econ vs. Cornell AEM</p>
<p>money is not an issue and i want to work in the Wall Street in the future</p>
<p>thx for your time</p>
<p>S #1 chose Duke over Cornell. Both are wonderful schools, so congrats. S picked Duke because of Cornell's colder climate and more remote location. Okay, Duke basketball was one factor, too. </p>
<p>Like you, S plans to head to Wall Street, and Duke has a well-established pipeline to there. I can't speak to Cornell.</p>
<p>Of course, Cornell is Ivy League and Duke is not, so if that moniker is important to you...</p>
<p>yeah but the duke = wallstreet connection is really good</p>
<p>its a fact that duke is a better school than cornell for wall street when you look at the recruitment numbers of top firms.</p>
<p>Duke is better than Cornell.</p>
<p>Next question, please.</p>
<p>I'm liking the post above...plus if you ask me, Cornell is a very isolated and dreary place to spend 4 years of your life</p>
<p>Dry cleaner, apple salesman? clothier? maybe a deli man? what is it you all want to do on Wallstreet? Broaden your area of study to open up the possiblity of many different carreers. Remember there are likely a lot of people who have likely lost their job who have a lot of real world experience that would give them an edge for any jobs that are open. Call your friends on wallstreet and remember it may be a few years before th economy comes back. Duke has a lot of great programs and is tops for Medicine...so think geometrically with your future.</p>
<p>Duke is a better choice than Cornell by far.
Duke is on the same tier as Dartmouth.
Cornell is more in line with Johns Hopkins and Georgetown.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say "by far". Cornell's probably a peer of Duke academically. Socially, we kill anything that Cornell has to offer though.</p>
<p>nah, Duke is above Cornell...by quite a bit! Especially win it comes to Wall St. placement.</p>
