Help me pick an undergraduate school

Hi, I'm a high school senior looking into finance/consulting. I'll make this brief.

A) UMich - Ross PreAdmit B) Cornell CAS Economics

Ross as Cornell recruiting would be focused on recruiting the Dyson kids.

Only go Cornell if you prefer the vibe of Cornell compared to UMich state school vibe.

 

Not true, Cornell CAS is on equal footing with the other schools and in fact Econ kids are a lot sharper on average given the theory focus.

Cornell easily. People on this site love to opine on things they don’t know about. Look up the student population of Dyson, it’s an absolutely tiny program that primarily consists of athletes, minorities, legacies, and children of farmers (people who get first preference of what school they want and they all pick Dyson).

Go on LinkedIn and search a couple of companies. You can see where people go to school. You’ll see that Cornell is very well represented at top finance firms and it’s not just AEM kids. It is an Ivy League school after all.
