I am attending either University's of Chicago's College or Cornell's College of Arts and Sciences next year, and I don't know which one to attend.
I want to double major in art history and economics, and although, at the undergrad level programs aren't ranked, the undergraduate econ program at U Chicago is renowned because of the prestige of it's graduate and doctoral programs. However, I'm scared of the competitiveness of Chicago's econ program; 10% of undergrads major in econ, and as a result the university tries to weed out students. Chicago's program is also more quantitative Cornell's.
I also like that UChicago is in the city.
Cornell, however, has the ivy name (although it isn't one of the top tier ivies) and the economics major requirement is easier to meet there.
They both have comparable art history programs, but double majoring would be easier at Cornell because it doesn't have the consuming Core that Chicago has.
Any suggestions??
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
