Seriously, at least they have a CS department. |

It's not Duke’s claim. It's the de facto indusry standard, USN&WR |

Do you go to UIUC over Cornell because UIUC is higher ranked in CS. |

Or Cornell over Harvard (or Yale) because Cornell is higher ranked in CS? |

Interesting angle. For undergraduate, CS ranking is less important. Those rankings make more sense for Ph.D. programs. |

Do you go to UIUC over Cornell because UIUC is higher ranked in CS. Or Cornell over Harvard (or Yale) because Cornell is higher ranked in CS? Absolutely -- If you're serious about engineering and CS, Cornell over Harvard or Yale ... Cornell is great for engineering and CS |

For CS undergrad, Cornell is ranked the same as with UIUC at #5 usnwr |

| Cornell. Programs outside CS Cornell is just as ranked as highly if not higher. CS is not even a fair match |

This is false equivalence, bc Cornell overall is basically same prestige as Duke |

Nope Duke is T10 prestige. Cornell is a barely T20 semi public |

What in the world is T10 prestige? Based on Duke alum's subjective views? |

| Where do they want to end up and what kids would they like more? Cornell seems to be a school with a lot more majors which may be good or bad. And it has a more secular vibe. Also colder. Ac isn’t an issue there beyond maybe two weeks at most. |

bullshit. cost of attendance is same, choose Duke which is T10. Cornell is good but nowhere near Duke. |
