Thanks for the comments. I am actually looking to go to grad school, in which case Columbia may be better. That being said, Cornell has many more courses and fewer requirements in general for me to complete my degree, so I would have greater ability to take advanced coursework (that being said, being with so many other students in the major makes it harder to stand out). Also Columbia engineers have a reputation for going into finance, whereas Cornellians tend to stay true to their cause.
At this point I would have to spend an entire semester completing the core requirements for SEAS, which frankly would be a waste of my time. So the logical solution would be to stay at Cornell. I’ll just have to make the best of it here.
Thanks monydad!
