<p>Basically I copy and pasted this from what I posted under UPenn (to get further insight and biases from both schools, rather than just one). </p>
<p>I got accepted to Cornell and Penn's engineering schools. However, my major at Penn is Systems Engineering, whereas in Cornell it's Operations Research & Engineering. I was mostly interested in the financial track (i.e. Financial engineering) when I applied, and Penn's engineering seems to be geared towards technical systems consisting of technology (so right I am leaning towards Cornell).</p>
<p>I do plan to visit both schools next week and gain more insight before making my final decision, but I was just curious if anyone had any input on pros/ cons of both school's / the engineering programs/ and specifically systems engineering vs operations research and what not.</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback!</p>
