^^^^ 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
^^^ Maybe not around here.:biglaugh:
Travel more than 300 miles and see if anyone has even heard of UB or Canisius.:biglaugh:
i think you made the right choice for sure
my gf wanted to go to cornell until she saw it and years later still talks about how awful it is. she went to UB and is doing just great
my coworker went to cornell, got his big shot degree at a big shot college… he’s temping at my company doing data entry and data cleanup.
Oh, and it still does. I know I will be at a disadvantage if I ever compete against graduates from Cornell.
Just keep in my in all comes down to the interview.
A 2.0 from Cornell with poor interview skills will not get a job anywhere.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
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.
Graduate school is my goal. 
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.
Uh, what happened to the snotty attitudes?
they’re hit and miss.
And who am I kidding. I’m as snotty as they come…
Yeah, I may be a little out of my league.
oh well. lol
rich man ass :ohnoes:
Oh I didn’t think about that.
Okay yes I did. ha
i know a girl who goes to cornell for vet stuff. her dad ownes the 3 banks of akron.
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
