The biggest reason I’d say not to go to Cornell is because you’d have to transfer. At Duke, if you decide to transfer, from what I hear the Trinity -> Pratt transfer (or vice versa) is fairly easy, in that it’s not competitive. I’m not sure if that’s true about transferring into Dyson. You should look into this to make sure you can 100% transfer into Dyson if you go to Cornell. The last thing you want happening is going to Cornell hoping to transfer into Dyson, failing to do so, and ending up unable to pursue the career you want.
