[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to admit days, mine went to Cornell and it made the decision clearer for them. Different interests and different set of schools considering. I thought the travel and being in person on campus for their marketing push made things a lot more real and helpful in deciding.[/quote]

I’d agree with this.  Cornell engineering grad, and ironically my current employer is in Atlanta so I work with some GTech grads.

Huge difference in the weather, and being in a rural vs urban environment. Depending on the kid, that could be very important. If you don’t like cold or snow, Cornell is a rough place to spend four years.

I’m not hugely familiar with GTech, but I will say that something I figured out after I graduated is that Cornell offers a very “theoretical” education, rather than a practical one.  It’s a somewhat subtle difference, but for me, I’d have done better in a place that had a more practical focus.

They’re both great schools. Have your son visit both and get a better sense as to which one is better for him.  [/quote]
