<p>I know both schools are great, and thanks to many CCer's help, I like many aspects of each. The deciding factor may come down to the name game. Which school is stronger in the business world, nationally, for a econ major? Which school gets more recruiting, particularly on a national level? Are interships easy to get at Northwestern w/ the major firms? What GPA would merit them? In NYC, is Northwestern looked down upon vs. Cornell? How about the rest of country?</p>
<p>Also, for the record, I know the fields I'm interested in aren't doing too hot as of now, but I'm asking these questions w/ the hope that the financial sector will rebound.</p>
