> Part of Cornell is actually a public school (most people don't know this). It's not so relevant when it comes to technical subjects, though (which I guess is what this article is about), because the "public part" of Cornell is the agriculture/ecology/industrial-relations schools... For CS/engineering, Cornell is very, very, good (and a big plus on a resume). Probably not as good overall or as useful on one's resume as MIT/Harvard/Yale, but those three are pretty much in their own category for U.S. universities.
