<p>Georgetown vs. Cornell... (accepted into both)</p>
<p>I'm really not sure exactly what it is that i want to study. a part of me wants to try international relations (east asia, to be exact)... a part of me is now considering business (undergrad? grad?) and also possibly a lawyer (grad, right?). i know i also want fine arts as a minor (or a dual degree, double major etc.). But at this point everything is a possibility (which by default creates a lot of uncertainty... </p>
<p>So deciding between Georgetown and Cornell at the moment. But also, I've been waitlisted at Columbia, Brown, UPenn, and Dartmouth. </p>
<p>Someone please help me. Convince me one way or the other! (also advise me, should i stay on the waitlists? does one of those schools really make a huge difference over cornell or GTown?)</p>
<p>neither georgetown nor cornell has a preprofessional business school as far as I know (unlike UPenn, UVA etc.) But most people go to graduate school for business. </p>
<p>by "possibly a lawyer" I'll presume you mean you are also considering law, and yes, you'd need to go to graduate school for that. </p>
<p>if you want IR, you want georgetown. g-town will give you an IR education like NO OTHER school can give you (but you need to be accepted to the School of Foreign Service - did you apply and get in?) But on the other hand, that is just about G-Town's only strengh aside from government. </p>
<p>If I were you I'd stay on the waitlists because you MIGHT find any of those schools offer you something cornell and g-town can't.</p>
<p>Well... I don't know if McDonough School of Business counts as a "pre-professional business school?" Maybe you meant something else.</p>
<p>AEM is Cornell's business program and from what I understand its quite good. I got into both programs but choose Georgetown because of the location and its Wall Street focus. I can't stress enough how heavily Georgetown kids are recruited by Wall Street, both BB and MM banks (our non-Finance and Accounting programs are lacking however), but if you want Wall Street, come to Georgetown.</p>
<p>We have a pre-law track and an early acceptance program into Georgetown Law (which is Top 15 Law School).</p>
<p>Just from what my friends who go there say:
Brown: don't know much other than that it's liberal (very)
Columbia: excellence and my friend loves the Engineering program there
Penn: Great business program (the best) and one of the best nursing
Dartmouth: Solid liberal arts education, but in the middle of no-where and frat life heavy, but they have their own mountain (skiing)</p>
<p>I think you should stay on the wait-list and see, and also it would be helpful if you can narrow down what you want to study and go from there.</p>
