Cornell graduate and parent of a Cornell graduate here.
Yes, there is a higher. And we Cornellians know it.
Nevertheless, @Mothersv, I think your son made a great choice. Cornell offers extraordinary opportunities in terms of academics, extracurriculars, on-campus job recruiting, graduate school placement, and pretty much anything else you can think of. He hasn’t shortchanged himself in any way. I hope he has a great four years on the Hill.
