[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell alum here. I loved Cornell, but if my kid got into both and she wanted to go to U Michigan over Cornell, I'd sign the deposit check in a heartbeat -- and vice versa. Both are great schools with tons of opportunities to study in a wide variety of fields. (I would also say that there is something for everyone at Cornell as well).

At the end of her four years, it's not going to be so much what brand name is on the diploma but a) is she happy and thriving there (and therefore doing her best work) and b) does she do well in her chosen classes and major so she's poised for the next step, whatever that ends up being.

I've done a lot of hiring in my career and I wouldn't discount the cachet of University of Michigan -- I wouldn't necessarily be more interested in a Cornell grad (or a HYPS grad for that matter) over a University of Michigan (and dozens of other strong schools). I don't think the brand name matters nearly as much as people think it does.

Thank you.

DH does hiring for tech companies and said Michigan grads are way better on average than, say, Harvard grads who tend to be entitled brats.[/quote]

well then its settled Michigan's grads are great and Harvard grads are brats!!  So nice of you to tell us that your husband thinks a school that was not even on this thread produces brats...does that mean Cornell does too?[/quote]
