Yeah that was my impression and what everyone from houston says. That's why I was looking to see what someone from dallas thought.
Being from Dallas and currently living in Houston, I can say that yea, Houston sucks by comparison (though I would certainly overlook that if I got into Baylor 😀)...but that's what 99.9% of Dallas people will say, while Houstonians will say the exact opposite. It's just a rivalry type thing, I suppose. In fact, the phrase "Dallas sucks" has been uttered by my Houston friends so many times that it has lost all meaning to me.
To the OP, both schools are top notch, so I'd go based on location. For me, that'd be Texas, as I just found out that I wouldn't like living in NY as much as I thought I would (I just got back from a trip there). Others will (and apparently already have) tell you to go with NY because they can't live in Texas.
Oh yea, you also might want to consider the heavy PBL at Cornell. It's not for everyone, but if that's your learning style, it's something to consider. In any case, this is definitely not a bad position to be in 🙂
