Michigan over Cornell?

[Anonymous]

lol I love all the supposed head honchos that show up and claim they prefer to hire state schoolers over Ivy kids. Make it more obvious you're a tailgate state alum working at some backwater sweat shop.

Otherwise, I think both are great schools. I went to one for undergrad and the other for grad school and enjoyed both.

Michigan alumni have a huge presence in NYC.

Michigan has a great national rep. She'll have no problem getting hired anyplace nationally.

You have to question the capacity of anyone who genuinely turns down a more competitive, more elite, resource-rich college for the 40,000-student rah-rah diploma mill full of slackers who paint their faces for sport ball matches. Such a decision would be a MAJOR personality red flag at the very least.

Cornell is great. Michigan is great. No red flags if someone gets into both and has the choice and chooses one over the other.

People tend to hire their own types. Podunk alums outnumber Cornell alums by thousands. More Podunk alums hire people than Cornell alums. It’s only natural they favor their own types.

Your post is a major personality red flag.
And LOL at “more elite.”

There are many donut hole families who send their kids to state universities over Ivyes for financial reasons. And Cornell is only a 2nd or 3rd tier ivy - not worth the full tuition they charge.

Again, if you think the University of Michigan is "podunk" you have very little understanding of the real world/hiring.

Cornell is great. Michigan is great. No red flags if someone gets into both and has the choice and chooses one over the other.

+1. All this hue and cry over two schools that are ranked 17 and 25 respectively.

25 could be Cornell - easily. It’s Soft Ivy that overlaps with Almost Ivies.

If someone thinks it is the right fit for them, and they are part of the single digits to be admitted, who are you to rain on that parade?

OP’s kid chose M over Cornell. Who are you to say she’s wrong about her choice?

I didn't. I am the one who said both schools are great and no wrong option if admitted to both.

By randomly marking bubbles, I scored 800 on SAT reading. That kind of randomness eventually catches up. What’s your excuse?
