[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i would 100% pick Emory. We visited Cornell and just found it to be super depressing. The city isn't charming (tons of vape shops, even obvious addicts wandering around etc) the campus is pretty poorly kept up, the kids looked unhappy and intense, the weather was crummy. 
We really, really wanted to like Cornell as there was a major that my DC was interested in but it was just such a disappointment in these other ways. Your impression mileage may completely vary but we literally visited a second time to see if our impressions were wrong on trip number one.[/quote]

Funny I found Emory depressing.  Beautiful campus, but kids were mostly walking by themselves and not smiling.  Very very quiet campus.  At least Cornell has robust Ivy League sports.

But neither of us or our kids are making this decision.  [b]Cornell wins in prestige[/b], but schools are close enough that kid should pick which he/she likes best[/quote]
Debatable, especially for this major. [/quote]

NOT DEBATABLE. My god…people please…..unless you are an Emory Mom here or live in that little section of ATL of the east coast Cornell 100% has on the PRESTIGE dpt and it is NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Alumni network is one of the largest in the Ivy League. Emory is a nothing burger in comparison.

Get out of the east coast and all of a sudden people will ask what is Emory?….this will NEVER happen with Cornell anywhere in the world.

Please STOP THE MADNESS.[/quote]
Sorry I raised your blood pressure, but notice how, Emory didn't offer any scholarships, and Cornell gave direct admission and not transfer option/WL. Also social prestige has little to do with academic prestige, as OP is trying to get into medical school and one would think an "ivy" could do a bit better than 75%. But again Cornell is clearly the weakest Ivy and no different than Emory, Vandy, WashU, etc . For premed Emory is the better school, in the better city, with the better opportunities, and the better placement, and frankly a more attractive student body...Thats the nothing burger. [/quote]
Emory mom has a point, 75% is lackluster. Cornell wouldn't be elite without the Ivy tag on it, and I would rather be in Atlanta. 
Also, I went to another Ivy so no allegiance in this fight. [/quote]
All of this![/quote]
