^^^^ well of course…thats a no brainer… but. for example. a cornell grad works at my dads business… a good position, yet, could prolly do something more… i know UB grads making much more money… point being, they are both great name schools. cornell is more prestigious, but the name isnt necesarily gona land you a better job ---

Where you go to get your undergraduate degree doesn’t REALLY matter unless it’s specialized like engineering (MIT)…and even then that’s mostly just because of popular culture…knowing your shit and being good at it will trump the school you went to when you’re interviewing…Graduate work is far more important for resume building (MBA from UB vs. MBA from Harvard, JFK, etc… etc…) So in short, save yourself the money, do really well so you can goto a great graduate school. ---

Get the potatoes, carrots, and beer from a grocery store. Then when you move on to graduate school get the filet mignon from a butcher store. ---

Well, that’s nice to say, but a lot of graduate schools want people from good universities, although UB is hardly, you know, Niagara University and at least their professors are from some good schools. Apparently my friend’s daughter went to Chicago Law and all of the graduates had degrees from the fancy schools. But I would never become a lawyer. ---

So. UB. Is going to take me 4 years as opposed to Cornell, which is (and my department assures me) 2 years. Because they choose students who are well prepared. So. Those extra two years at UB are going to cost me handsomely. I think Cornell is still in the picture. If I am spending an extra $20,000, the $8,000 difference between Cornell and UB becomes more doable. Hopefully I can reverse this letter. ---

That’s probably because there aren’t that many vet schools, and it is more competitive than medical school. So your vet may very well be smarter than your GP. ha [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cornell-is-a-no-go/14998.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cornell-is-a-no-go/14998.md?page=3)
