I was accepted into both Georgetown’s college and Cornell’s college, and am having a hard time deciding which school to go to. At Georgetown I would most likely study political economy, and at Cornell I would probably double major in government and economics.
I know the two schools are really different, but I genuinely like both of them. I really like the Georgetown area and the overall city of DC, but I also like the peace and beauty of Ithaca. Of course, my biggest concern with going to Cornell is the lack of government related internships – I would love to intern at the Treasury Department or something along those lines, but this would be much more accessible at Georgetown (although Cornell does have a semester in DC program). What complicates matters more is that I was accepted as a Tradition Fellow at Cornell, so it will likely end up being cheaper, and the University will pay for me to do service related opportunities across the country and globe. So, I feel like I will have great opportunities at both schools-- with Georgetown, lots of career opportunities, and with Cornell lots of service opportunities. So, you can see my dilemma.
I would really appreciate any thoughts on the situation. Also, I’m not entirely sure, but as of now I plan on going to grad school. Thank you so much in advance!
bump, would really appreciate the help
