How much school pride do Cornell students have?

Yes, employers of Goldman Sachs, etc. come to the school, but they aren’t begging Cornell students to work for them like I bet they are at Wharton and Harvard.



Lol. This is so not true.

There are many people at my law school who went to Harvard or Princeton. Most of them came to law school, precisely because of lack of job options after graduation. Heck, my roommate is a Yale alum (government major) who was unemployed for two full years after college, and came to law school as a last resort - despite having no interest in practicing law. For him, it was either getting a job in a non-profit organization for 35-40k a year best case scenario, or go to a top law school to take a shot at a high paying corporate law job.

I would venture to guess that 99% of ppl at my law school (a top 6) would drop out of law school in a heart beat, if they can get an offer as an analyst at Goldman or McKinsey. Yes, that would include me.
