Why Cornell over other schools?

Cornell is not known as the easiest Ivy; it actually has a reputation for being the hardest Ivy to stay in. I don’t think any one of those colleges carry more weight on their name than any of the others overall, so I wouldn’t choose Columbia just because you think it’s the most prestigious. And I wouldn’t worry about finding internships since all three will give you a ton of connections. I think you really need to focus on the specific programs, keeping in mind the fact that you seem to want to major in two different subjects, so you should make sure that whichever school you choose is strong in both economics and physics in case you change your mind.
