Cornell ILR vs BC Carroll Transfer

Looking to transfer spring of my sophomore year to Cornell ILR or BC Carroll.

Which school would provide a better chance of landing in IB, S&T, or even Big 3 consulting?

I feel like Cornell would make more sense as an incoming freshman, but I am not sure given the fact that I would be a transfer. It seems like a lot of the good clubs and professional/social fraternities there are very difficult to get into, especially if I could not apply until I become a second semester sophomore.

Additionally, I plan on pledging a fraternity in the fall at my current school and was wondering if any alumni would know if chapters at Cornell would take in a fraternity member from a different chapter?

BC also seems great because of its location and business school. I also feel as if the clubs would be easier to join as a transfer, but I could be wrong.

Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Boston College has incredible placement. All BB's and most EB's to OCR and resume drops. Both should be considered strong targets so you cannot go wrong. No Greek life at BC if that impacts your decision in any way
