[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell is the best ivy reject school. There's better schools in the south. [/quote]

Other than Duke, not by a long shot.

[b]Duke - definitely better than[/b]
Rice, Vandy - likely better than
Emory - As good as

Deal with it. [/quote]

Let’s take Duke—in Engineering? No, it is not better than Cornell. In undergrad business? No, Duke does not have an undergrad business college and it does not have the best hotel school in the country. In Architecture? Again, no. How about industrial and labor relations? Again, no.

So what do you mean when you say that Duke is “definitely better than” Cornell or that those other schools are likely better than or as good as Cornell? Are you referring to the liberal arts colleges? Personally I would take Cornell A&S and its faculty over Duke’s, but even if you disagree I don’t see how you can assert that it is “definitely better” to study [b]as an undergrad[/b] history, psychology, philosophy, government, English, econ.... at Duke as compared to Cornell. If I was a high school student interested in liberal arts there are definitely many considerations I would consider in comparing these schools, but overall rankings would not be one of them.[/quote]

Another DCUM pissing contest.  This board sucks.[/quote]

The pissing contest seems to have been started by people who are keen to just criticize another university than the one OP was asking about, and do so without talking about any facts or substance. So I agree with you that this board sucks to the extent people feel the need to try to tear down schools that people are asking about and are interested in. I think those who are here for constructive and helpful reasons would be happy to talk about Cornell-related substance as asked for by OP.[/quote]
