<p>iono how accurate it is to say its easier to get into cornell ilr than into stern. i know ppl who didnt get into ilr but got into stern</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sounds like you answered your own question.</p>
<p>ilr is more about legacy and or fit…</p>
<p>if someone doesnt mention the word labor in their admission essay i’m sure they wouldnt even get a 2nd glance…</p>
<p>First of all - Congrats! You were accepted to two amazing schools!
As for Cornell being too much lke Oregon, I wouldn’t quite validate that statement. Yes, there are gorges that look similar to the Columbia River Gorge and the scenery does look a bit Oregonian. But the weather is very very different. We are used to rain rain rain rain rain sun rain rain rain sun rain, but the temp never drops too low and it is mostly gray skies. From my understanding of Cornell’s climate, the temp is typically pretty low but it is sunny and there is snow on the ground. Also, I think the people make a big difference to whether it “feels” like Oregon. East coasters are quite different from us Oregonians, and I think that with the large abundance of East Coasters you won’t feel like you are in Oregon.
Personally, I love Oregon and Cornell! They are both GORGES places!
I was also accepted to NYU Stern and Cornell Hotel School. I am 95% sure that I am choosing Cornell (still waiting on financial aid to make it 100%).<br>
It will probably come down to your visits.
Good luck with your decision!</p>
<p>cline makes a good point…there’s no place like home! </p>
<p>both choices will put you in a totally different place.</p>
<p>yea at Cayuga. i’m responding to missezpatel response</p>

<p>I had to make the same exact decision two years ago. I chose Cornell ILR and it was the best thing I ever did.</p>
<p>One of my best friends chose NYU Stern over Cornell ILR and he’s kicking himself after I told him about my experiences here.</p>
<p>PM me if you need any more help. I was up for days trying to make a decision and this forum pushed me in the right way. Just want to give back.</p>
<p>I think too many folks in this topic are using “NYC” as a catcall for Manhattan alone, which is not a representation of the city as a whole. I do agree that most stuff on the island is overpriced, though; and unless one lived somewhere in the city, I couldn’t imagine a NYU student going into the “outer boroughs” very much.</p>
<p>Jesus… Thank you so much everyone. You have definitely made this decision a lot easier. I’m not going to lie, I was really upset yesterday after getting rejected by Wharton but I am really starting to like the idea of coming to Cornell. I thank all of you guys for your kind words and support. I do have a few more questions though.
- What would be some internships that I could get that would put me in the big city working for a sports team? i.e. Yankees in NYC, FIFA in Europe etc.
- Am I allowed to take business classes at AEM or get a minor at AEM while getting my major at ILR? I think this would be my best bet.
- I’m visiting really soon, anything really big I need to make sure I see?
- When I am visiting, I’m missing some school so I know I am going to need to do work, can I get into Uris (that’s the library, right?) without a Cornell ID card? Plus, it would be nice to see the library since I will probably spend a good amount of time there over the next four years. Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>Islander4 - I am not quite getting what you are saying? NYU students live in Manhattan, which is the most expensive borough in NYC.</p>
<p>Jay - instead of having PM with OP, why not have do it via this forum because it may help out other students who are facing the same decision.</p>
<p>NYU Stern is harder to get into than ILR? Give me a break.</p>
<p>For my school, NYU is quickly turning into the new community college - it’s becoming everyone’s back up schools.</p>
<p>And whether you like it or not, in NY State, NYU is a complete joke since there’s both Columbia and Cornell present in the state. </p>
<p>And for people who are saying Cornell is a shi**y Ivy League:
- It’s still Ivy League. I don’t see your school in that list of 8
- saying it sucks is like saying Warren Buffet isn’t rich because Bill Gates is richer</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>NYU isn’t a joke. It’s a very good school. But it’s obvious that it has attempted to grow a lot in rank over the last two decades as a result of some student’s delusions that New York City is a good place to spend your collegiate years.</p>
<p>If you want to focus purely on Finance, your best bet is Stern as it has a far higher ranked program, and if I’m not mistaken sends the most students to firms like Goldman Sachs. </p>
<p>I suppose living in NYC is a double-edged sword. Expenses will obviously be higher than your average college town, and I’m sure the City offers far more temptations that would detract from your studying time than Ithaca. On the other hand, New York City is where it’s at. Stern is where the top firms come to recruit, and with its similar reputation in business to universities like Cornell there will be more opportunities for students simply due to sheer convenience. </p>
<p>Cornell is an Ivy League without the prestige and the quality teaching. If you want more versatility and a more well-rounded education go to Cornell for its economics program, but I would recommend you choose Stern over Cornell if you’re sure you want to do business.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Spoken like somebody who was rejected by Cornell and has no clue as the quality of Cornell’s professors or the expansiveness of the Cornell community across the globe.</p>
<p>or like somebody who is going to Stern and wants to inflate any possible opinion of academic prestige with the goal of making themselves feel awesome.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes…you can get into the library without a Cornell ID. You just won’t be able to check out any books or a laptop.</p>
<p>There are a lot of libraries. I would also be sure to check out Catherwood in ILR and Olin. The browsing library in Willard Straight is pretty neat too.</p>
<p>I used to always crash at Fine Arts, or as I liked to call it ine FArts. Quiet, Dragon cafe right below, and when you get sick of your reading there is a plethora of really interesting books to just plop down and browse.</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to Cornell, for the reasons I elaborated on in this topic. But believe whatever you guys want, different schools for different people.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um… sure. You keep on trying to tell yourself that, but the evidence suggests otherwise. I’m sorry for your rejection but there’s no reason to harass students with your asinine answers.</p>
