<p>Well ****. Wouldn’t it be awful to attend one of the lower-tiered top-20 engineering schools?</p>
<p>Don’t go to Cornell. Great school, but you don’t have enough interest.</p>
<p>Honestly, I’d tell you to go to Princeton because of the $$$. The difference in quality of education between the two institutions is truly infinitesimal. don’t get me wrong, MIT is awesome. Princeton, however, is just as awesome and, in your case, cheaper.</p>
