| I'm starting grad school next year so we're not entirely in the same boat. But I chose Princeton over Cornell (my alma mater). If you went to Cornell, you'd actually be very surprised at the caliber of students there. Princeton attracts the very very best. Cornell attracts very high achieving students but nowhere in the same ballpark as Princeton.
Oh and ranking of engineering programs is pretty unreliable. Does anyone in their right mind think Purdue is a top-5 school? They're ranked there though. So many of my professors, in engineering, got both their ugrad and grad degrees at Princeton. |
