Vandy cs vs cornell info sci

Hi all!
I am so blessed that I got into both vandy and cornell for transfer :)

I got into vandy CS in engineering school and Cornell Info Sci (plan to do data science concentration) in CALS

Cornell is 10k cheaper but like cost is not that big of problem in choice making.

I plan on doing PM (product management) in the future, not like pure swe.

So I wasn’t sure which choice might be a wise choice. Since CS might seem more appealing to recruiters. And like a lot of ppl go from swe to pm so i was worried that i might start off from there??

for social stuff outside of js academics, I am lowkey worried about cornell’s depression and grade deflation stuff but also vandy might be heavy on greek so please let me know! It’s hard for me to choose 😭

hi yall.. any response would be helpful

i js got accepted to vandy engineering

and i kinda got unlucky with professor and course for my linear algebra i might end up with a C.

+ I might get B+ in chemistry as well... do u think my offer will get rescinded? < /3 other things are all As tho

like best possible scenario i will be finishing this semester with 3.65 ish.. (due to C+ in linear)

worst possible scneario it might be like 3.35..

please let me know im a bit worried! i js went through a lot of stress and took way harder courses this sem bc of change in major to engneering related
