Penn CAS vs Cornell CAS

[LazyKid]

However, I do think more high-end finance/consulting companies recruit at Penn… So you would have a better shot getting into one of these companies from Penn than from Cornell. For instance, McKinsey doesn’t even come to Cornell to do interviews – you have a very low chance at getting into McKinsey from Cornell (you won’t even be able to get an on-campus interview!). At least at Penn, you can do a resume drop and POSSIBLY get an interview.

<p>Bain, Boston Consulting, along with McKinsey (which are big 3 consulting) didn’t even come to Cornell for interviews. Although, given the fact that getting an offer from one of those three companies is near impossible anyway, I wouldn’t make a college matriculation choice based on that.</p>

Are there any stories of people determined to go into banking from high school, getting into an Ivy, and not being able to—and just ending up jobless?

</p>

<p>There are career options outside of banking. Plenty of people go to grad schools, as well.</p>

<p>

Its not just on this one basis, monydad. I have researched both schools extensively and am much much more satisfied with the overall experience Penn has to offer. Plus, I’m not very into the sciences or engineering, making Penn an even more logical choice.

<p>You should go to Penn.</p>
