<p>I was accepted at CMU and Lehigh, and accepted into the Asa Packar Scholar program at Lehigh, and I was waitlisted at Cornell. So 2 situations.</p>

<li> If Cornell doesn’t take me, which is better? Lehigh or CMU for Mech?</li>
<li> If Cornell does take me, is it really any better?</li>
</ol>

<p>Don’t bring money onto the table, I’ll figure that one out later. Just based on the quality of education and student life.</p>

<p>My 2 cents says CMU...Lehigh isn't as widely known...and that's what you're banking on, right? Besides check out US News and World Report.</p>

<p>I'm not entirely concerned about how "well known" the universities are. IMHO, there are many "hidden gems" out there. Although tthere is a trend that univesities with stronger programs are more well known.</p>
