Cornell vs Georgia Tech
Accepted OOS for both, currently accepted for engineering for both. I want to break into consulting, hopefully MBB firms. At Cornell, I would major in Operations Research and Information Engineering currently, may need to try to transfer into Dyson/CAS Economics. At Georgia Tech, I plan on doing Industrial Engineering.
Intended major: Economics (CAS) or ORIE at Cornell, Industrial Engineering at Tech
Costs: Full for both: Cornell (~$92,000/yr), Georgia Tech (~$54,000/yr)
Cornell Pros:
- Prestige, Ivy League brand, best Ivy League engineering program
- Really good Wall Street placement (if not consulting), Ivy alumni network
- More opportunities to explore outside of STEM
Cornell Cons:
- Not sure how good ORIE is for business jobs specifically
- May need to transfer into Dyson from Engineering to be competitive for consulting, or transfer into Economics in the College of Arts & Sciences
- Ranked lower according to PeakFrameworks MBB Consulting Target Schools
Georgia Tech Pros:
- Industrial Engineering at Tech (#1 Ranked) seems to be a major target for only Atlanta-based MBB consulting firms, but many opportunities for other consulting companies outside MBB like Deloitte, Accenture, etc
- Entrepreneurship scene is a bonus
- Weather/Cost
Georgia Tech Cons:
- IE at Tech seems to be a target for only Atlanta-based MBB consulting firms
- Not as much prestige in general since it is not an Ivy League school
- Dorms/food isn't as good
