<p>is there a web page that lists all of the companies like it does for USC.</p>
<p>listen bud, any top firm in the financial field recruits at Cornell, basically any top firm in every field recruits at Cornell. The only exceptions are Lazard and Blackstone because they must have weird alumni relations, but besides that, every single top firm in finance recruits here with tons of info sessions provided by them etc. Your job is to do better than your peers if you want a shot at a good job and at Cornell, this is not so easy</p>
<p>collegekid, I also get the impression that you think u are more intelligent than tthe average cornell student. Get ready for a suprise man, you are competing with some of the top students all over the world and that kind of attitude will come back to haunt you at this school. Believe me, you won't even be in the top 15% intelligence bracket here and most likely will get your ass handed to you first semester if you are overconfident.</p>
<p>your scores are nothing to write home about believe me, there are tons of kids walking around there with better scores than you</p>
<p>well I think thats a bit harsh to say, but it is fair to say that being average at cornell (or any other top school for that matter) makes you pretty darn smart in the real world. Perhaps I missed the statements, and I don't remember his stats, but I don't remember collegekid saying anything particularly arrogant)</p>
<p>I don't think any of the incoming frosh, like myself, should think have preconceptions about where our intellectual level is relative to the student body. You're right about that sports684--over-confidence will probably end up with us getting super messed up first semester.</p>
<p>We should also keep in mind that everyone has his specialty. There will be relative geniuses at Cornell in physics, writing, music, historical knowledge, math, computer programming, whatever. But nobody will be incredible at everything. Kids who are used to being THE BEST will have to get used to being just really good at one or two things, and just average at everything else. No shame in that--I think all of us incoming frosh should just feel greatly honored to be going to a place reputed to have so many brilliant minds on the same hill :). (not to say anybody said anything to the contrary, just stating that opinion.)</p>

<p>Though this may sound a bit evil, this is true. I'm at Cornell for the summer, and have met a lot of Cornell students (those in my class and those older than me). EVERYONE that I have met is intelligent. When I say everyone, I do mean everyone. You know how in high school, there are the "dumb students," the "average students," and the smart students? I have yet to meet an average or "dumb student." For instance, after I took my chemistry prelim (a week or so ago), so many students were stating that they "failed." It turned out that they did exceptionally well on them (at least better than expected). We have all ranked more or less (from those that I have met) in the top 10% in our classes, many were salutatorians/valedictorians, etc. In addition, from those who I have met, there are plenty of exceptionally well rounded students here. In my circle of friends that I have met, one is a fashion designer and has her own clothing store in California, another is a "pageant participant" (basically, she has been in so many pageants, and has won her town's title), another has proposed a bill to the legislature in Maryland to allow teenagers to donate bone marrow (it was successfully passed), another has created some type of program in California at his high school that allows underpriveleged children to go there after school if they have no place to go, another is a Presidential Scholar and fantastic artist, another is a great piano player who is supposedly ranked "3rd" in his state for "making his own pieces" or something like that (I read his resume for Cornell that he showed me), another was President of the Spanish Honor Society and dedicated a lot of time tutoring his friends after school in Spanish, another has been the president of so many clubs in her high school, another has been in a couple of upward bound programs and has done a pre-college program at another university, and the list goes on and on. I knew that there were so many motivated students at Cornell before I came here, but now that I am here for the summer, I can really see it for myself.<br>
My classes are competitive already because we were all the best in our classes in high school. So, take all of those students, and place them into one classroom. It's extremely competitive. We're used to being the ones who tutor, and are used to being the best in everything that we do. That's not the case now. I'm doing fine in my chemistry class so far, but I'm studying every night just to make sure that I'm on top of my game, because my classmates are doing the same thing. If a person is struggling, you better believe that after class, they are going to Office Hours to get help from the teacher, even if they tell you that they aren't. They're going to go to it if they need the help just to stay on top. Even though you may be at the top in your high school (I definitely was), don't necessarily count on that at Cornell because everyone at Cornell was at the top in their high school. Where there is a top, there is going to be a bottom.</p>
<p>F***, 10 characters. ;P;</p>
<p>thumb around through the career services page, which can be accessed through CUInfo. different colleges will have different recruiters. </p>
<p>you're a pre-frosh, why are you worried about things like this already?</p>
