For those looking to go into CS, Architecture, Hotel, and want to be engineers (as opposed to engineering majors who want to work in top business)I recommend Cornell over almost any Ivy.



Cornell is great for engineers who want to work in top business.
According to this report:

http://www.career.cornell.edu/downloads/PostGradSurveys/postgrad07.pdf

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS, JP Morgan and Chase, Merryl Lynch, and Lehman Brothers are among the employers hiring the most Cornellians. Out of the 12 companies that recruit Cornell students the most, 7 are big business firms. That says something.

Among Operations research engineering majors companies hiring the most Operations Research and engineering students are JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Bank of America Securities, UBS, and Accenture:

Among CS majors, the employers hiring the most Cornell CS majors are Goldman Sachs, UBS, Credit Suisse, Bank of America, and Citibank:

Among Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) majors, employers hiring the most ECE students are Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, UBS, Bloomberg, and Merryl Lynch:

Cornell is a fine place for engineers who desire to work in top business. You seem to be downright misinformed about Cornell.



UG G Ratio
Brown 5821 2204 2.64
Dartmouth 4200 1700 2.47
Cornell 13510 6290 2.15
Princeton 4918 2416 2.04
Penn 9710 10103 0.96
Yale 5316 6082 0.87
Harvard 6715 12424 0.54
Columbia 6923 15730 0.44



Here is Cayuga’s data in a different, possibly more readable format:

Percentage of Students who are undergrads:
Brown- 72.5%
Dartmouth- 71.1%
Cornell-68.2%
Princeton-67.1%
Penn-49.0%
Yale-46.6%
Harvard- 35.1%
Columbia-30.6%

Cornell may be large but that doesn’t mean that it’s not undergraduate focused. There are by far more undergrads than grads and well over 4,000 undergraduate courses offered in seven different colleges. That seems pretty undergraduate focused to me.
