Cornell v. Chicago

<p>Which would you choose and why? Which one do you think has a better reputation?</p>

<p>…You’re on the Chicago board. Unless you say that you want engineering or hate the core or really love those cornfields, it’s pretty obvious that most people here would choose or have chosen Chicago.</p>

<p>Having said that, what are you looking for in particular? Each school has its differences and its strengths.</p>

<p>My D is interested in Judaic/Near Eastern Studies.</p>

<p>U of C has one of the most well respected Near Eastern Civilizations departments in the world. When visiting the campus be sure to stop by the Oriental Institute, a University museum dedicated to the Near East.</p>

<p>I was wondering, who is better in applied mathematics\comp sci in terms of preparation for graduate research in a related area and likeliness of admission to a good business school?</p>

<p>I just posted on your Cornell/WUStL thread and saw this one. CHICAGO ALL THE WAY. </p>

<p>I’m normally hesitant to say that one college is flat out better than another, but no other college in the nation- arguably the world -can match Chicago in this area (my specialization, by the way). The only universities I would consider close are Johns Hopkins, Yale, and Harvard.</p>

<p>I’m stuck in choosing between UChicago, Cornell, and Bowdoin.
I want to study Psychology Premed for Psychiatry and possibly Journalism.
Which school has the strongest program?</p>

<p>I’ve been waiting for the national review of colleges that tells which schools are best for certain topics, as it was supposed to be renewed this year. But I haven’t seen it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Considering Chicago doesn’t even have journalism, it’s program is probably the weakest; however, a journalism major is not necessary for becoming a journalist.</p>
