Dartmouth College VS Cornell University
The two schools have nothing in common except their geographical location. ...
First of all, Dartmouth is the only school in the rattan school called "College". It is small and refined, pays great attention to undergraduate education, has a high level, and its style is very similar to that of a well-known college of arts and sciences. Its undergraduate teaching strength ranks in the top 5 in the United States.
Cornell is called "not like a rattan school". One is that its science and engineering is very good at Fujitsu University, and it can squeeze into the top of the United States 10. Secondly, among its seven undergraduate colleges, four are privately donated and three are funded by the state government. It is a "semi-public and semi-private" school, but its educational philosophy is private.
In school culture, Dartmouth's "brotherhood" culture is very strong. The advantage is that its alumni relationship is very close. This network gives Dartmouth graduates a good future prospect, and alumni have made great achievements in politics and business. But the disadvantage is that China students may not be able to adapt to its "fraternity" culture.
Cornell is a "semi-public and semi-private" school, which is based on rattan school and friendly to China students.
In 2023, Dartmouth enrolled only 26 students from China, while Cornell enrolled 128 students. In the early stage of application in 2020, Dartmouth issued 12 offer to China students, and Cornell reached 86 offers, which was super nice!
But Cornell has always been known as the "academic pressure cooker" of Fujitsu School. If a child applies to Cornell, whether the child can adapt to this pressure should also be taken into account.
