[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess you are paying out of state for Michigan. So the cost difference is not that much.

I will go with Cornell if she is undecided.[/quote]

UMich is full of out-of-state kids who TOTALLY got into similarly-priced Cornell, Penn and Brown, but preferred the vibe of Ann Arbor. Totally. :roll: [/quote]

If the vibe of Michigan is important, sure, go to Michigan. Keep in mind, more than half of the students there get the same vibe for 1/3 of the cost.

But if the kid is undecided, you would get more for your $ at Cornell. Michigan has 30,000 undergraduate, while Cornell only has 15,000. One is a private and the other is a public. Cornell is an Ivy and always ranks higher than Michigan.[/quote]

Hmm, always? You sure about that?

Michigan is #19 in undergrad teaching on USNWR
Cornell is #41

When you say public vs private what’s the implication? Endowment? Because Michigan’s is $12B while Cornell’s is $7B. Roughly the same per student money, since Michigan is twice as big.

Michigan has the 6th best undergrad engineering program; Cornell is #9

I could go on, but let’s at least acknowledge that public means nothing and Cornell by no means always outranks Michigan.[/quote]

Obviously the ranking meant the widely accepted US News Best college ranking. Cornell always rank higher than Michigan on this list.

Cornell #16

UVA #25

Michigan #27

Private school generally has better faculty student ratio, more responsive career services, smaller class size, easier course selections, better dorms, etc. than a public.[/quote]

Ah yes, ignoring data that doesn’t support your argument. Classy!

You realize Michigan has one of the most powerful alumni networks in the world, right?[/quote]
