Tufts Vs. Cornell

<p>I could be in a much worse situation, but I really am stuck right now. I'm still waiting for FA from both and am going to visit both, but I think I'll need all the time I can get in deciding.</p>

<p>I haven't done an official Cornell visit yet, so I can't comment to much on that but for non-academic, they come up really even (even tho they're so different)</p>

<p>Size: Neither is tiny or huge in my eyes, I'd feel fine at both
Weather: Live in NE now, and I wouldn't even consider it cold at Cornell, and the snow would be nothing compared to where I've lived before
Reputation: I like how Cornell is pretty well known and regarded, but I also like the kind of idealism that tufts gives off for me. Doing well without boasting or w/e u want to say.</p>

<p>Won't over-judge, but Cornell looks great and I'm familiar with similar areas as far as outside of the school.</p>

<p>Tufts is also in a great spot, close to Boston but not quite city life</p>

<p>Gah, no idea what I'm going to do. Anyone got opinions or anything? I'm someone who likes to just hear lots of ideas and consider everything possible, so however insignificant it seems I'd love to hear it.</p>

<p>I transferred from Cornell to Tufts, and to me Cornell seemed huge and impersonal while Tufts seems smaller with a better sense of community. I’m much happier at Tufts.</p>

<p>Any opinion on difficulty? From what I hear, you have to work for your grades in both cases. I don’t have an issue with this, but I wanna do medicine so my GPA will be a serious factor for me</p>

<p>I guess I’m gonna have to Double post, but I think my OP could use some more info.</p>

<p>Diversity is something I definately want to see. But I don’t want it to be a forced issue, like I don’t want to be acknowledged because of any diversity I exhibit, I just want it to be a fundamental part of the school.</p>

<p>I definately want to travel a lot (as much as possible with pre-med considerations I guess). I want to take random classes and do random work in the area or wherever. I guess I want to have the ability to experiment with stuff.</p>

<p>Not into greek. No issues with it other than when it hits that stereotypical, dominating the school point. Any of that at Cornell?</p>

<p>I do want to know my professors and have the ability to work with them in one way or another. Good/relations and advisement are a major plus.</p>

<p>As I come up with stuff I’ll add</p>

<p>pleeease help?</p>

<p>Tufts is easier academically, but only slightly.</p>

<p>Cornell might seem impersonal because of the huge size, though it is more prestigious.</p>

<p>I personally prefer Cornell, though, because of the beautiful campus and wide array of people you will meet. However, Tufts is no slacker either.</p>
