Hi everyone, recently got admitted to both programs and is struggling to make a decision. From what i have learned, almost everyone says Cornell have better career service. I am wondering what this mean exactly. Does that mean more firm come to conduct on campus interview, or something else?

Cornell seems to have better placement and UChi has a better brand name. So I really appreciate any insight from you guys!! Thanks!!
Congrats! May I ask what is the deadline of deposits that Cornell gives to you?
 
Tough choice for me. Would love to hear your opinion. Thank you for explaning your reasons in advance!
 
Hi guys. Can somebody please help choosing between these two programs? Please also comment down your reason also for the same
 
Bumping for visibility. I am interested in Model Validation.

Please let me know if anyone has any comments on here as well as I suggest reaching out to alumni or current students on LinkedIn.

Really looking for strength of the program in regards to career services and curriculum. NY vs Chicago not a huge factor for me and cost is roughly the same.
 
Can somebody please list down their reasons? Thanks!
 
Could someone please state the pros and cons for each?
 
Which program would be better for a fresher straight out of undergrad? Which one has better career services overall?
 
Please also list the pros and cons of each. Cornell seems super selective but career services are not as good but UChicago seems to have better career services. Let me know if I am correct.
