^ I’d just like to reiterate what you’re saying.

It is not guaranteed that you will be accepted to either university.

There are SO many threads about X vs. Y when the poster hasn’t even gotten into either college! To me the idea is ludicrous. How about waiting until you’ve been accepted to X and Y before asking which one you should go to?

Are you trying to say that if every single person on this thread said go to Penn (hypothetical, of course) you would just apply to Penn and not even fill out the Cornell application. No, of course you would not. So you’re thread is speculatively based on an decision that is months in the future with a very slim chance of arising.

A more appropriate thread (especially for Cornell vs. Penn) would be “Which should I apply to ED.”

When, and IF, (and that’s a big “if”) you get into both Cornell and Penn then you should revisit this thread.
