I agree with everything you people say. Columbia destroys cornell for location, no doubt about it.
Also, realize that I'm applying to transfer to Columbia (CC), that's where I want to go.
That said, all I was trying to point out with the anecdotal evidence of my friend who got into MIT and not Cornell was that clearly they're on par with each other. MIT admitted someone that it saw fit to complete the necessary course work. Obviously it could be a fluke on both/either institution's part, but probably not. As for my friends who currently attend Cornell, you're certainly correct that this is not air-tight evidence, but it certainly makes a compelling point. I know a ton of SEAS kids thru high school, and they all respect the Cornell degree more, probably because they understand the rigor involved.
My main point, however, was that confidentialcoll did lie/spin by saying that SEAS SAT scores were higher than Cornell's, when he could not truly know. I found that aggravating.
Let's chill tho, I'd rather waste my time watching movies or something.
Love,
Muerte
