I went to SEAS because, while I was good at science and math, I greatly enjoyed many other disciplines. In my view, Columbia is a more well-rounded education in general. I could get my A's in science/math classes while still taking a bunch of really interesting liberal-arts classes in history, polisci, philosophy, sociology, CS, etc.
An engineering degree is a good preparation for many things besides just engineering. The majority of Cornell SEAS students go into actual engineering jobs. The majority of Columbia SEAS students do not.
