What Are You [considering] Turning Down for Cornell?

Colleges & Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Well, I'm currently in debate over three schools (even though I'm accepted at five).</p>

<p>My top three are Cornell, University of Rochester and Clarkson University. I love them all for entirely different reasons, so it has become extremely difficult to choose. I expect most people here to jump out and say Cornell is so much better - and that's understandable. But, from my perspective (and with a spot in Clarkson's Honors Program), it's going to be rough few weeks in deciding.</p>

<p>(My other two "no" after acceptance schools - RIT and Carnegie Mellon)</p>

<p>thank you so much for your input merger! that was very helpful :D</p>

23

<p>Cornell and Northwestern, I don't know what I want to major in (applied as a math major), but I a thinking of going to med school too.</p>

24

<p>*am .</p>

25

<p>I think it'll come down to Cornell and Berkeley. I've also been accepted to NYU, UC Davis (w/ Regents), UC Santa Cruz and Bryn Mawr.</p>

26

<p>I'm really not sure what Im going to do. I've been accepted to U Southern Cal- full scholarship basically and Cornell. Waitlisted at Northwestern. </p>

<p>I dont know what to do!!!</p>

27

<p>Cornell (econ) vs Georgia Tech (electrical engineering)</p>

28

<p>maybe McGill Art&Sc</p>

29

<p>I'm considering turning down: University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and the University of Pennsylvania. I applied to Arts and Sciences for both colleges, but I got into ILR at Cornell.</p>

<p>Cornell has given me the most aid, and ILR is a great stepping stone to law school.</p>

<p>I'm really torn here - it's between U Penn, Chicago and Northeastern (full ride) for bio. I'll have to wait for aid packages to start rolling in, but it's going to be a really tough decision.</p>

<p>Quick question: Penn and NU have a really career-oriented focus when it comes to academics, whereas Chicago is just about the exact opposite (which I actually prefer). Where does Cornell fit on that spectrum?</p>

31

<p>I'd put Cornell closer to Penn and NU in that regard. I've never thought of Cornell has a heavily intellectual campus.</p>

32

<p>it depends what college you are in at those universities. i think all three have colleges where it's mainly academics (liberal arts).</p>
