<strong>Subject:</strong><br />Cornell worth it? <br /><br /> Poster Message:
I recently got off the waitlist for UVirginia which is my state school. UVa had been my dream and it’s prestige is up there with varied schools like Cornell, Dartmouth, UCLA and Georgetown. I already committed to Cornell but I haven’t really been able to find any reason why anyone would choose their strong state school over Cornell. At this point, Cornell CAS is not earning me any major respect with my peers nor am I honestly sure if the social scene in a rural NY town is going to be good. Anyone else choose Cornell over their state school have a convincing reason? I know Cornell is Ivy League but that label has less and less meaning nowadays. Most people only consider HYPSM and often Penn, Columbia and Duke as the real gold standard elite schools while everything else in top 25 are just lumped together.
