<p>Between Dartmouth and Cornell, which do you believe is the stronger school for each category (a reason why would also be helpful)?</p>

<p>Cornell is truly a powerhouse in the sciences/engineering/research; no doubt Cornell has an edge in those categories. Cornell is also rated pretty well in mathematics (top 20?). But that isn’t to say you won’t receive a great education at Dartmouth. You might expect a stronger overall student body, and more attention as an undergraduate because of the smaller population. </p>
<p>They are both excellent schools.</p>
<p>Mathematic Academics:Cornell
Science Academics:Cornell
Research:Cornell – it’s a major research university, Dartmouth isn’t.
Outdoors:Tie
Weather: Tie
Parties: Tie
Social Lives: Cornell, I wouldn’t want to live in Hanover. With 13,000 undergrads in Ithaca, there’s actually something to do other than drinking.
Beautiful campus: Cornell, Ithaca is gorges.
Natural Setting: Tie</p>
<p>This seems a bit biased. But yeah thanks anyways, because it lets me know that you really believe in that at Cornell. It shows me that if I go, I will enjoy the strengths of Cornell. I may apply there early next year. Other reasons why Cornell is awesome would be appreciated. Thanks</p>
<p>it might look biased, but it actually really isn’t because many of the areas you listed are cornell’s strengths. For example, Cornell is atop the ivy league in science and research any day of the week.</p>
<p>if you listed drinking ability, it’d probably be dartmouth</p>
<p>Mathematic Academics: Cornell

Outdoors: Dartmouth

Beautiful campus: Dartmouth
Natural Setting: Dartmouth</p>
<p>Dartmouth is pretty much a better atmosphere but in terms of math/science, Cornell is the place to be</p>
<p>Mathematic Academics:
Probably Cornell for breadth of offering; Dartmouth for smaller class sizes
Science Academics:
Ditto
Research:
Cornell, in terms of gross productivity; Cornell is a major research university and Dartmouth isn’t. Cornell has a huge edge in international rankings, since research is much more internationally visible. Opportunities for undergraduate research are plentiful at Cornell, but it’s plausible that you could get closer faculty interaction as an undergrad at Dartmouth.
Outdoors:
I haven’t been to Dartmouth, but Cornell is beautiful and picturesque, and I’ve heard the same about Dartmouth.
Weather:
I’m not a good judge.
Parties:
Not a good judge, although we all know Dartmouth’s reputation.
Social Lives:
Depends on what you want! Cornell has the advantage of having a larger undergrad population and a larger city, however.
Beautiful campus:
Both campuses are very nice.
Natural Setting:
Ditto</p>

<p>Again, it may seem biased, but in my opinion, your prompts mostly played to Cornell’s strengths moreso than Dartmouth’s. My impression is that Dartmouth enjoys a reputation for spending more attention and resources on undergrad education than Cornell, although Cornell benefits from the breadth and depth of its research.</p>
