<p>I can happily tell that most of my wife’s coworkers at my country’s embassy in DC thought I was at Penn State. However, they do know Cornell.</p>
<p>I should say that Carnegie Mellon gives clear statistics for the different colleges under admission information.</p>

<p>Not surprisingly computer science is very strong!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Pretty impressive that a school that makes up 1/5 of the undergraduate students can be a “driving force” for the whole thing</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Considering that if you drop Cornell’s Ag and Hotel Schools from the reported average, it raises the mean by 20 points, it’s a definitely phenomenon that should be considered, even if its not a “driving force”. If there is a similar (or perhaps, more pronounced?) effect with Wharton, Cornell and Penn would suddenly look the same on paper.</p>
<p>That said, Penn definitely has a more internationally renown economics program. Cornell’s only comparative advantages are in labor and development economics. </p>
<p>I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Penn is a better school for the social sciences. Cornell is a better school in the natural and engineering sciences. They’re a wash in the humanities.</p>
<p>The overall prestige and academic reputation of Penn and Cornell are equivalent.</p>
<p>Again, the inconsistency in your statements seriously hurts your credibility.</p>
<p>OMG, gugupo, how can you be soooooooooo naive…!!
Wharton is THE BEST B. SCHOOL IN THE WORLD…!!
Its what MIT is in science. Even US News’ ranking it 50th won’t make any difference.
Even the employers agree ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Welcome back, gugupo.</p>
<p>Wonder how long you’ll last this time. ;)</p>
<p>already gone :D</p>
