Michigan over Cornell?

I will go with Cornell if she is undecided.

UMich is full of out-of-state kids who TOTALLY got into similarly-priced Cornell, Penn and Brown, but preferred the vibe of Ann Arbor. Totally.

I found Ithaca boring as hell. Ann Arbor is more lively and also near Detroit.

Great story.

Maybe they could use their critical thinking skills to explain to you why anecdotes aren’t data.

NP. Meh. Anecdotes are pretty common when making hiring decisions.

The people who would take the word of an anonymous poster on the Internet aren’t the employers people want.

I don't think anyone is going to make their college decision solely off an anonymous post on a parenting message board. It is still good information, though, and it's important to realize that OMG IVY LEAGUE!!!! YOU'RE HIRED!!!! thing just isn't how it works in the real world.

Everyone in America knows you are 50!!! Most Mich and NYU kids do not even apply to Cornell. Anyone that can get into either school can get into the hotel management or ecology school (and transfer) if they REALLY want Cornell.

Cool cheesey cliches about an elite hospitality college, public U alum.

The most obnoxious scummy people I’ve ever met all attended GW or Michigan. Something off those two schools and the caliber of personality they attract.

Huh? The hotel school is very competitive. ?

Cornell & Michigan are both great. I would let my kid decide.

Not Cheesey at all. The STATE school parts of Cornell have higher acceptance rates. Kids know that you can apply to those schools and transfer IF you must go to an Ivy. The comment was in response to PPs comment about Mich and NYU. There was no slight meant against any school. You are free to look up the admit rates for all of the admit rates and you will see the comment is factual not snide.

Hotel school is hard to get into. I think you are confused.

Cornell has 4 "contract colleges" that Cornell runs for the state because historically the state wanted to help support agriculture, etc.
CALS, by far the largest contract college at Cornell, has an acceptance rate of 11%, which is very close to the overall Cornell acceptance rate. CALS is also consistently rated one of the best ag/ag engineering schools in the country.
