Hi!
I got into both M.E.T. for MechE+Business Admin and Cornell for MechE. I am struggling to decide which should I pick. Here are some of my worries, please please please help me out!
- Berkeley M.E.T. is a super selective program, but Cornell is more selective than Berkeley in general.
- Although MET is a small program (50 people) but Berkeley's class size is much bigger than Cornell's. (I would prefer small classes).
- I do want to enter the tech-related field, and since Berkeley is close to Silicon Valley, it should be pretty good. However, Cornell does have a Cornell in Silicon Valley program and claims that they also offer good connections.
- I am still not sure if I want to do a whole major in BA as an Undergrad. Cornell offers a minor in BA and also has pretty solid entrepreneurship support if I want to start my own business.
- Does diluting my attention by studying BA affect my chances of getting into top engineering grad school? I do want to get a Master of Engineering from Stanford or MIT in the future. M.E.T. seems to lean toward helping me get a good job in Silicon Valley as soon as I graduate.
- My ultimate goal is to start my own tech startup, and I could get an MBA if I need to. However, M.E.T. claims that they can accelerate my entrepreneurship journey with close connections to VCs.
Thank you all in advance for helping me out!
