I'm not getting answers at the graduate school forum so...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I will be a future comparative biomedical sciences (CBS) PhD student at Cornell University. Out of curiosity, I was wondering how is the reputation of the program? The program is offered through the College of Vet. Med., and I will be focusing on virology.</p>

<p>I would like to know its reputation because I want to be in a good position for a post-doc at either MIT or Harvard. I understand I need to publish many high-impact journals, but how would you describe its overall reputation?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>That list is all engineering programs. If the program he’s asking about is in the Vet School, it probably wouldn’t be considered part of the same pool. I’m not sure how helpful this is, but here’s the US News list of the top 10 vet schools ([Best</a> Veterinary Medicine Programs | Top Veterinary Schools | US News Best Graduate Schools](<a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-health-schools/veterinarian-rankings]Best”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-health-schools/veterinarian-rankings)):</p>

<p>Ok. I messed up on that one. This man or woman needs to stay at Cornell then.</p>
