[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth is if your kid end up having that choice, that is amazing. You cant go wrong with either school.

If your kid has international aspirations, Cornell has a better known brand outside of the US. But other than that, your kid should be happy with either.[/quote]

-1.  Typical know nothing DCUM bullshit. [/quote]

Oh my. Of course you know everything. The only bullshitter here is you. I’m a Northwestern grad. My wife is a Cornell grad. We lived abroad for years. The fact is, very few people even knew what Northwestern was. Everyone knew what Cornell was. We were both in consulting, and this was among our own colleagues and partners in the EU, not the average joe. I don’t care what you or your ridiculous commentary says. I’ve experienced it. Go away.[/quote]

Your personal experience doesn’t make it universally true by a long shot.  The world is a big place and while you may have lived abroad for a while you only lived in a small part of it.  Both schools are widely known world wide.  [/quote]

NP: Sorry, but that's not true. Cornell is really well known, esp. in Asia, where it has been the school of choice for very rich families and royalty.  Northwestern is not known.  Ivies, Stanford, MIT, *maybe* Berkeley for the science crowd -- they are the only names that are recognized outside of academia (and other than Harvard, even those are only recognized by very high status people).

I went to a T20 school not on the list above.  Have had a great international career, but no non-Americans recognized my alma mater. [/quote]
