Why Cornell over other schools?

If you hate literature and humanities, cross Columbia off your list immediately. There’s no flexibility; you have to take specific courses.

That leaves Cornell and Penn. Do you want to be in an urban area or a rural area? Also, look at the required courses. At Cornell, you have to fulfill distribution requirements. They are not as prescribed as the Columbia requirements, so you can probably find courses you like in each area.

I don’t know much about Penn’s requirements, but you can research it.
