I got an early notification from Chicago and Cornell seems pretty much a positive after I received a call from the department head of my intended major, BUT I’m sticking with WashU. It may seem crazy, but my reasoning is this:
1)Chicago seems WAY TOO theory based with a less developed career services office. WashU’s undergrad linkage with Olin really helps it get stuff done.
2)Coming from Houston, Chicago is just the same. I want to tone it down a bit. Also, Cornell might be…too large of a student body in way too small of a town.
3)WashU has the best double major/minor program (I want to do Economics, Applied Stats and take a crapload of chem and finance courses). Also, I really like the community feel of the school, the work hard-play hard concept and that I’m probably going to be running for them next year.

In terms of courses…I’m starting my 4 year set up.
