[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The opinions about the Cornell "experience" primarily depend on the major/school and, secondarily, how outdoorsy the kid is. My outdoorsy kid majoring in Psychoiogy absolutely loved Cornell. Played on club sports team, greek life, campus job, took 5 Physical Education classes (sailing, skiing, golf, mountain biking, ice climbing) when only 2 were required, etc. Graduated with very good grades. My STEM kid there found it to be a grind -- requiring tremendous about of lab and study time in order to earn decent grades for medical school applications. As others have said, I highly recommend spending at least one undergraduate summer on campus taking advantage of the lake, hiking, wineries, golf, easy parking, etc. [/quote] If you aren’t going to major in stem or gun for Wall Street/mbb consulting then why wouldn’t a “outdoorsy” kid go to cu-boulder instead? [/quote] Hmmm... lets see....just for starters.... 1. Because Cornell is ranked #12 by USNEWS while CU Boulder is ranked #105. 2. Because CU-Boulder lacks many of the non-STEM programs offered by Cornell (e.g. Human Ecology, ILR, Hotel Administration, Architecture) 3. Because CU-Boulder requires expensive flights to/from Colorado while Cornell is only a 4-6 hour bus ride to/from DC, Boston, NY, Philly, Baltimore, etc. 4. Because Cornell has a much better reputation for grad school/law school/industry applications. 5. Because Cornell offers great financial aid -- making it less expensive for most non Colorado families with financial need. [/quote] All you have say is it is an Ivy. [/quote]
