[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Northwestern is ranked slightly higher and Chicago suburb is probably more desirable than Ithaca, but if it were me, an Ivy League degree is an Ivy League degree. US news has Northwestern at 10 and Cornell at 17. WSJ has Cornell at 11 and Northwestern at 9. Forbes has Northwestern 11 and Cornell 16. Is the slight uptick worth it? Where will your kid be? East Coast? I would do Cornell. [/quote] While I agree with you, neither of us is a high school senior. Chicago is a bigger draw than Ithaca, and Northwestern is a big enough brand name to make it a bigger draw for a lot of kids. But I agree with you that based purely on academics and value of the degree, I'd go with Cornell. But I have the benefit of decades of working and also being in a position to hire people. Kids look at these things a little differently. They often view it as choosing a lifestyle more than a degree.[/quote]
