<p>I can echo Applejack’s story about the Duke grad.</p>
<p>I have one friend who studied Environmental Science at Harvard, and, well, she ended up having to go to Michigan for her MPP to work in their field.</p>
<p>I have another friend who studied Chemistry at Brown who was interested in nutritional science, and, well, she ended up having to take additional courses at Boston University after she graduated.</p>
<p>In both cases, I thought… well, you could have just gone to Cornell from the beginning. Not that the experiences at those schools aren’t fantastic, but if you really want to excel in an applied field, Cornell is often a cut above the rest.</p>
