<p>Unless pursuing business i think Cornell is a better school than Penn, i would choose Cornell, but if you do recieve a 3.7 then you probably will be successful, Wharton may be a lil harder however.</p>

<p>Do any of you know why US News put Penn at 4 and Cornell at 14? I was shocked to read that. Is that just because there is more grade inflation at Penn and it's easier to graduate? Or do experts really think Penn is that much better? Penn also beat MIT, Cal Tech and Stanford which seems really nuts to me</p>

<p>a significant reason was because of more classes below 50, that is primarily what keeps cornell out of top 10 - actually it is the only thing that keeps Cornell out. One year, i believe it was 1999, Cornell messed up and gave them wrong class size figures and they were six, thats how ridiculous the rankingare</p>
