<p>If you're looking for reasons to choose Cornell over Harvard, try posting on the Cornell board - because several the Harvard posters are <em>slightly</em> biased. (Not that the Cornell posters will be any less so, but their bias will go the other way.)</p>
<p>Personally, I would choose Harvard over Cornell; it's smaller and I love Boston. But if I didn't get into Harvard, I would definitely consider Cornell. It's a great school, after all.</p>
