“in total student population cornell is smaller than harvard and columbia (way less grad students).”

Who cares about grad school now? We’re talking about undergrad. And Cornell’s freshman classes are usually at least twice as big as WashU’s.

“Being “one of the kings of the midwest” means nothing for washu. For business recruiting WashU would be behind every other midwest school your mentioned”

Really? How did you know? And I assume that for business recruiting, Cornell is ahead of Penn, MIT, NYU, Harvard, Babson,…etc? I know that the northeast is the best area to work in business area…but Cornell students have to compete with so many “Better” schools, which may be a disadvantage for many Cornellians.

“how is Cornell one of the smaller fish??”

Like I said before, Cornell is a fine institution…but it’s still considered as the doormat of the ivy league. Also, it’s competing against a lot of schools which are better in overall. Around 10 out of top 15 schools in the nation are located in Northeast. And for business…it is competing against Wharton, Sloan, and Stern…those are just a few top business schools in that area…there are many more.
