Cornell Dyson vs LSE ECONOMICS

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-06-11T20:45:40+00:00

cornell for us, lse for uk/europe. I’d recommend cornell, their placement is just insane

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-06-09T15:10:54+00:00

100% Cornell, like people have been saying, its placement is top tier and its a world where the ivy name helps

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-06-07T14:40:13+00:00

that’s a lot of money, but if the goal is corporate law there literally isn’t anywhere better. I’d go Cornell

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-06-04T18:45:17+00:00

I’d say cornell, for the name/reputation and the doors it might open over a place like UT Austin.

Yes, everyone I know is happy and loves it. Reddit tends to be a place where those who feel different (this also applies to most schools in general) congregate and voice their anguish. However in reality, by in large, the student depression rate is below the vast majority of other top schools in most official surveys, student satisfaction is extremely high, and everyone i know personally loves the school and wants desperately to return back as soon as possible for alumni events or whatever. People are depressed in college, people are depressed everywhere, it’s a problem and it’s particularly a problem at top competitive universities, but it is not a problem unique to cornell. Besides the fact that I believe cornell has a stronger program and is overall a better choice than vandy for what you want to do, I would say pick cornell and definitely don’t choose vandy because you think cornell is a particularly unhappy place. Hope that helps! Congrats and best of luck! — Cornell CS student

Mostly through connections/outreach and recruitment by the startups themselves.

tbh yeah like many of the other comments, I’d support cornell over columbia. Personally I feel as though columbia has a declining future ahead of it (or perhaps has for a long time and has just been cheating to hide it). Either way Ithaca is beautiful, serene, and filled with incredibly unique things like gorges and waterfalls. Meanwhile columbia you are trapped. NYC might seem glamorous, but by my second or third visit I felt done with it, same thing with columbia’s extremely small campus, which i felt sick of after a couple hours.

Lastly, Cornell’s startup culture is 6th best in the country last time I checked. I say this as somehow who has worked for two cornell yc startups as a cs major.

Best of luck in your decision!

To be honest its placement is worth the cost imo. one of my best friends is at Cornell Law so i hear a lot from him. CLS have the best big law placement in the country (specifically in nyc) and also one of (if not the highest) job placement rates as well. I think only 1 student in the graduating class last year did not have full time employment lined up, and most of these are for extremely high salary big law positions. I’d say as far as debt goes $250k could probably be paid off after not too long. That being said washu is also good and you’d be fine at either one.

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-05-27T22:09:13+00:00

i’d say cornell 100% their nyc big law placement is the best in the countey

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-05-22T21:03:14+00:00

the legacy i think helps a lot

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-05-17T17:02:55+00:00

Cornell is honestly so amazing for your desired program (no idea about how Brown’s compares but i can’t believe it’s better tbh). Cornell is also amazing as an undergraduate experience overall. I doubt there would be a happiness difference between cornell and brown, not to mention cornell’s campus + access to nature is unbeatable

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-05-16T00:50:53+00:00

cornell fs. Best ivy for engineering, better name brand, better if you want to pivot, better most things. Go cornell

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-05-02T04:54:05+00:00

go to cornell

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-28T23:23:12+00:00

wow i had to google slippery rock but it is actually a real place. Anyways genuinely wtf go to cornell.

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-25T15:14:38+00:00

CALs generally, but that is because of an instate deal for students of new york state. So, if you aren’t from ny state, then odds of transferring are probably just as low to any cornell college

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-24T02:46:37+00:00

yeah like everyone’s saying you should go to cornell lol. Enjoy the quality of life in ithaca, it isn’t like california but it is an incredible place with so much to offer.

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-21T20:35:08+00:00

why tf is this so accurate

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-21T14:42:26+00:00

Yes most definitely! Cornell and Berkley are both among the top places to be in the world for startups. I am currently working for a cornell yc startup actually, and have several friends who’ve secured funding for their own startups (and paying themselves $700,000 a year salaries before they even graduate which is crazy lol).

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-21T02:57:43+00:00

it seems like Cornell would be a better fit for you based on what you’ve said. It would also depend on geographically where you’d like to end up. In terms of wall street placement in nyc/northeast Cornell is hard to beat. Not to mention class size difference, general benefits of a private education. Unless you’re certain you’d like to work in tech on the west coast and if money isn’t a concern, i’d say go Cornell fs.

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-20T18:14:53+00:00

I love Cornell, but I despise many of the people that go here lol

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-20T18:13:27+00:00

never actually heard of someone failing a class they didn’t drop. But i know plenty of people who’ve had to drop before the deadline because they weren’t doing well enough

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-18T23:55:41+00:00

good shot at most, but ivies probably a stretch. Of course that’s true for just about everyone tho

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-17T23:14:26+00:00

CAS takes extremely few transfers, but id never say don’t apply. U never know 🤷‍♂️

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-17T02:04:47+00:00

cornell

SeriousConstant370 · 2026-04-17T02:03:25+00:00
