The difference for four years is less than one year salary when they graduate. If they really want Cornell, you can loan the difference to em 140k without interest. Not a big deal. But Ga Tech is equally strong in engineering, good weather. |

| I’m a Cornell grad and I would go with Ga Tech here, especially with that cost difference. |

| Yeah, GT is elite in engineering. Wouldn't pay more to go anywhere else, including Cornell. |

| Gatech phd in chemE (father) told DC last year to go to Cornell engineering instead of GATech and Northwestern. DC is enjoying Cornell and it snowed yesterday! DC got accepted to project team and is a cadet in Air Force rotc. Time management is key. DC had 12 APs with 5s and got significant credit and is looking to double major in two engineering disciplines. I say choose Cornell! |

| Would have done Cornell but the hot truck is gone. Varsity rules! |

| I would pick GaTech! #2 national mechanical engineering program, a hot spot for recruitment, and fun sports/ warm weather. Out of state tuition $32k a year. Loyal alumni network globally. |

Gatech,
Cornell is barely an ivy, and Atlanta is a great time. |

| Both will be a significant grind, with the slight nod going to Georgia Tech as worse. I always recommend saving Georgia Tech for graduate school, and going somewhere else for undergrad. |

Cornell distinguishes itself among the Ivies by generally being the most highly regarded school from this group for engineering. However, Cornell's separation from other Ivies in engineering is not so great so as to suggest Cornell belongs in a class by itself. |

| Cornell and it is not even close…..these threads are absolutely ridiculous. |

| Cornell is great. And it’s not in a red state. |

| Your kid should probably go to admitted student day for both schools. You can learn a lot about a school culture by that last marketing push. Plus being on campus around other admitted students shows the vibe of a school better than a tour. |
