<p>Got into both schools for engineering. Why should I choose Penn over Cornell? I really need help in choosing… Convince me. Any comments or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>If you want to go on to a PhD in engineering and actually become an engineer, go to Cornell because it's a top 10 school for engineering. If you want to branch out into other fields, Penn should be about equal to Cornell, but at that point you should decide which school is a better fit.</p>
<p>Venkat... i believe you got into SEAS, right?? Can you define "other fields"?</p>
<p>Way to judge a brown person by thinking that they're going into engineering ;) I'm in CAS, but was strongly considering SEAS, so I know one or two things.</p>
<p>By other fields, I mean IBanking, management consulting, prelaw, premed, and other stuff like that.</p>
<p>Check your PMs</p>
<p>penn isn't as cold =)</p>

<p>see my reply here</p>
<p>You should definitely choose Cornell...because I'll be there!</p>
<p>^I think we just found the best reason in the world not to go to Cornell.</p>
<p>hot damn, this is the first interesting thread posted on CC in the last 7 years.</p>
<p>watch out for the gorges.</p>
<p>I'm trying to make the same decision but not for engineering.</p>
<p>Take into consideration cost, location, weather, and your future plans. I've heard that Cornell is great for those who want to pursue pure engineering.</p>
<p>Whatever decision you make, at least you know that you'll be going to a great school.</p>
<p>Unless you pick Cornell...<em>giggle</em></p>
