Cornell (Dyson) vs Northwestern vs Carnegie Mellon (Tepper) vs etc.
Hi all,
Pardon my long question, but I am really torn right now. I got into all of these schools, and I'm not sure where to go. I want to pursue a double major in finance and computer science, but I plan on working in finance. So, once again, here is the question:
Cornell (Dyson) vs Northwestern vs Carnegie Mellon (Tepper) vs UMich (Ross) vs UVA vs Vanderbilt vs UNC (Kenan Flagler) vs Emory vs Northeastern
There is no need to go through each school (unless you want to). I'm just interested in hearing cases for the #1 spot in terms of getting on the street.
Thanks for the input.
Going to keep it simple, narrow it down to UVA, UNC and UMich. You can't go wrong with any of them. Pick the one where you feel like you'd enjoy your 4 years the most.
if I dont know anything else about myself, Cornell (Dyson) vs Northwestern vs UMich (Ross) vs UVA would be my final pick. Actually it's ranked rather like how I would see it. If you want to change major/function/industry/geography, that'd be another story.
My quick pass through your schools you mentioned i would say Cornell, Northwestern, and UMich, with Carnegie and UVA as tier 2 since i assume you didnt get into mcintire. If you got financial aid plus geography of where you want to work also might give you better direction on what to choose.
This is for undergrad right? if so, Go to Cornell. It is on the top 10 for engineering schools in United State I believe. You can major in computer science and Cornell AEM. Prereqs for AEM go inline with prereqs from Comp Sci(math part). Cornell is also an Ivy so you are golden.
If you were going purely for Comp Sci, the best would be Carnegie Mellon, but in all honesty an Ivy like Cornell opens up way more doors than any of those schools if you were ever to change your mind. Also Carnegie Mellon has grade deflation (as does Cornell, but if you were to get a deflated grade might as well go to an Ivy)
Mich or UVA
Tough question, but an excellent choice of majors. I had the option to do that - oh the regrets. Comp sci plus Finance- watch out!
I would say Cornell imo, because it's an ivy and its usually ranked higher than the other schools listed, but also because if you aspired to take one last jump to an even better undergrad school (UPenn) I know it can be done (have had a friend go from Dyson to Wharton UPenn within the 1st two years of undergrad). That was about 2-3 years ago.
