My DC is straight A, highest rigor, 1580+, not yet decided on major, but will be STEM related, possibly an engineering discipline. Some of the negative comments about Cornell make the decision to attend Cornell full pay even harder. We need more positive comments to make the decision…[/quote]

I'm from a Cornell and Michigan family.  They do have positive similarities.  They are schools that value intellectual interests more than elitism. I was at Cornell a few years back during the early weeks of school and the freshmen were out meeting each other and getting free ice cream and doing silly photo booth type stuff. During a beautiful golden hour evening.  It looked so fun for them.

My grandmother went to Cornell and my mother.  A lot of Ivies didn't allow women to be part of their main colleges until quite late.  Random Internet says:

"Eventually, Princeton and Yale began admitting women in 1969, with Brown University following in 1971 and Dartmouth in 1972. The lone Ivy holdout, Columbia University, did not admit women until 1983. By contrast, Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania had admitted women since 1870 and 1914, respectively."

If you're going to go to an Ivy, go to one that had its values in the right place early on.
