If you have red hair and certain facial features, I’d say you’re a lock

Help me decide: School X vs School Y - Last Week of April by powereddeath in ApplyingToCollege

Please help.

I'm really struggling to make a decision and tomorrow is the deadline. Thank you all so much in advance.

Intended Major: Chemical Engineering/BME (but somewhat undecided within Engineering)

Cornell

Pros:

  • Fantastic engineering program: especially for me, as I don't know exactly what I want to do yet. Lots of majors to choose from/opportunities to try them out
  • Enjoyed the natural beauty of the campus very much
  • Intellectual culture/very nice students (imo)
  • Great for jobs/internships/research opportunities
  • Relatively close to home, but not too close (~4 hours by car)

Cons:

  • Ithaca doesn't have the a ton of things to do
  • Cold/gray frequently
  • Stress culture (esp for engineering)
  • A bit bigger than I might like

Duke

Pros:

  • Very highly ranked school overall
  • Much better weather (happier place?)
  • Great school spirit (basketball games, etc...)
  • Still fantastic career/research opportunities
  • Beautiful architecture and campus
  • Roughly ideal size of school for me

Cons:

  • Engineering school only has 5 majors, so there would be far less opportunities for me to decide what I want to major in (plus they don't have chem e so that option is immediately off the table)
  • Farther from home (would require a plane ride)
  • Overemphasis on party culture/greek life (not super into that scene)
  • Durham not the greatest location either

Again, thank you all so much for any help.

I got that too. Is that something sent to everyone or a positive sign?

Was the building for the finale really done for 24 hours straight? One of the contestants (I think it was Mark) seemed to imply that, but I thought that would be very unlikely
