Michigan (sticker) v. Duke $ v. Cornell (sticker) Forum

[maw]

I'm trying to decide between Michigan with no money, Duke with 70,000 total, and Cornell with no money. I don't have ties to any of the schools or states for that matter.

I'm leaning towards public interest/government work, hopefully in DC.

Thoughts?

Duke hurrr durrr

The $ at Duke makes this a no brainer. But, if you prefer Michigan or Cornell you could try to negotiate for a scholarship.

Does this make Duke's CoA around 100k? If so Duke is a great option for you.

I vote for Duke as well in this case. Duke is good for government and does well in DC.

Duke for the $. That said, Cornell was very open about matching comparable offers...

[Aberzombie1892]

As it stands, Duke. If Cornell will match and you want NYC for certain, Cornell. With no preferences or anything else like mitigating factors, I see no reason to consider Michigan.

Cornell - enough said.

Cornell - enough said.

DOOOOOOK

Like all the good people have said, Duke. Only mitigating circumstance: if Cornell or Michigan match them or more, and you have compelling reasons to go to Cornell or Michigan over Duke.
