<p>So I am an international student who got accepted to yale-nus and cornell. I paid deposits to both since they are in different countries but now I need to say no to once (since it is impossible to attend colleges across continents) </p>
<p>I live in Asia, i want to major in economics. Singapore has a growing economy, while the US market is still in recovery. I have heard from my counsellor that international students with economics have a tough time getting a job in the US because they would much rather prefer to employ those who have STEM instead. Job opportunities after Yale-NUS are definitely stronger, since it is the best college in Singapore, atleast by reputation if not by education since that still remain untested. In my home country, both Yale and NUS are respected so getting a degree from Yale-NUS will definitely strengthen my chances. Even though Cornell is an ivy, it remains an unheard top US college in much of the developing world. Moreover, at Cornell I feel that once I graduate I'll be competing with Harvard, yale, Wharton grads for the same job while in Yale-NUS I'll be the preferred applicant. </p>
<p>However, the education at Yale-NUS remains untested. Can anyone help me decide? I dont want to prolong this misery because I know that there are people in the waitlist and I feel that I'm stealing their spot each day I delay my decision. Yale-NUS had an acceptance rate of less than 5% while Cornell had an acceptance rate of around 15%. So help me guys, please tell me what should I do, and why yale-nus perhaps may not be the best choice</p>
<p>Thanks loads</p>
