Which is better?

<p>I am having trouble deciding between Cornell ILR and UMich Ross for undergrad. I got admitted to LSA Honors and am planning on transferring to Ross. However I also got the guaranteed transfer to Cornell and am considering ILR as well. I am planning on pursuing a career in corporate law. Could someone please help me?</p>

<p>Well I think one year in Ann Arbor will make your decision for you. You won’t want to leave.</p>

<p>I was in the same position as you last year. I chose to attend Michigan and left the door open to ILR. I fulfilled all the requirements and when I got the acceptance to ILR, I promptly denied it.</p>

<p>I basically just did it as a back up plan. But looking back, I would have much rather not have accepted the GT offer to begin with. It did feel awkward for me having Cornell constantly in the back of my head and thinking of the possibility of transferring. I would have much rather just been 100% committed to Michigan.</p>

<p>I think you’ll end up falling in love with Michigan, most people do. The kids who accepted the GT offer from Cornell and decided to actually go from my year, all went to schools well inferior to Michigan so it was more of a no brainer. (We had a Facebook Group to stay in touch)</p>

<p>Either way, both Michigan and Cornell are great schools. You can’t go wrong with one or the other. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Michigan and Cornell are very similar schools academically. Despite its Ivy League name, Cornell is really no more “prestigious” than Michigan. People think Michigan is an impersonal school full of jocks but it is actually very organized and offers many resources to its students despite having a large student body. In fact, Cornell has a slightly higher percentage of large classes than Michigan. </p>

<p>I would recommend planning on staying with Michigan. Even though your feelings are mixed now, I am 90 percent sure you will love Michigan after your first year here.</p>

<p>I had a similar situation, and eventually chose LSA honors then just transferred to Ross. Ross has tons of prestige in itself and a generous curve. I would recommend choosing Michigan. I agree with maizeandblue above, spend a little while in Ann Arbor and you’ll never look back.</p>
