I dont relate to the car analogy so much. If anything I find it amusing. In any event, though I am in finance it seems like Duke over Cornell and I really really like Cornell. Lets hope it is the right decision.

Great Cornell article from Poets&Quants; an interview with Dean Dutta, touches on Cornell NYC Tech, etc. https://poetsandquants.com/2013/02/26/co ... -strategy/

Although Cornell may fall into a finance stereotype, and Duke into a consulting/marketing stereotype... Duke is still a great choice for finance, and cornell for marketing/consulting. Don't feel pressured to choose cornell over duke due to stereotypes. If you feel like you fit better at Duke, go there. Good luck! (ps, I would buy a Subaru Legacy if I could get a new car before moving to Ithaca... Nothing wrong with an affordable AWD car for the snow)

It will be Duke most likely. Thanks. Good luck!!!

I wish more people would go with their gut and where they're going to enjoy the next two years of their life as opposed to trying to split hairs in specialty rankings. Any top 16 is going to get you where you want to go in the traditional fields - specialty rankings are just another way to sell magazines.

Agreed. Hopefully, we will have applied only to programs which are likely to fulfill our career aspirations. Upon getting in, it's about financial packages, weather patterns, and car analogies. Sweep the leg Johnnie.

Knowing that Alex Chu is a Wharton grad, then read the comments on HBS and Stanford. Hilarious! Knowing that he lives in LA, and read the comments on Sweet Sixteen about Yale and Cornell in light of UCLA.
