<p>If you’re facing that decision, I’m guessing you got off the MIT wait list. Congrats on that :)</p>
<p>If by “>>” you actually mean MIT and Cornell are both vectors with each element representing each respective department, then no Of course Cornell has a leg up on the Humanities and some niche subjects (like Hotel), and for many disciplines it’s debatable. And for some departments one is reputably stronger undergrad and the other is reputably stronger for grad.</p>
<p>At both Cornell and MIT, the opportunities are incredible and your success will be up to you.</p>
<p>Georgetown, Barnard, University of Chicago, Northwestern, waitlisted Harvard and Princeton</p>
