I want to apply to Princeton and Cornell for engineering. I will be applying as an international student. I wish to pursue Computer engineering. So which college should I apply for early action? Even though Cornell has a binding plan, is it worth applying to Cornell as first choice for computer engineering over Princeton for its restrictive early action?
Cornell has the slight edge in CS and Engineering, but Princeton is virtually as good. You should not apply to Cornell ED unless you are certain it is your first choice.
Princeton! The liberal arts collaboration is great.
