"Cornell engineering destroys Columbia SEAS in quality of undergraduates as well as true engineering education"
as i said in terms of offering students a pure engineering education cornell is better in almost all disciplines, but in terms of quality of undergrads sadly it isn't the case, look at SAT scores, top % of HS class, acceptance rate.
"I have 7 friends from NY who chose Cornell over Columbia because they know it's a much better program"
yea no s*it sherlock, if you're at cornell that's all you can guage, not the whole other side of the story, if they had spent their whole lives in the city there's a good chance they might have wanted to leave, i've met more than 7 at columbia who've chosen columbia seas over cornell, wanting the sort of education and environment columbia offered for its engineers. so it's a meaningless point of discussion. You have to look at numbers not your or my shallow set of experiences.
"There's even an engineer I know who got into Brown and decided to come here."
and that would say what?
"This is the only engineering school that still manages to beat MIT at tech competitions."
again cornell is a better school if you're sure you want to do engineering as a career. And most tech competitions play to cornell's strengths, they usually revolve around mech E, comp sci and EE.
