Cornell ILR vs. USC Marshall

Deciding between Cornell and USC. At Cornell, I'd hope to transfer from ILR to AEM, or maybe double major in econ and cs. At USC, I'd either do business admin at Marshall or just an econ/math major.

What's best for finance? I don't necessarily have my heart set on IB, but I'm super into PE and VC and I know that one typically works at a bank first. USC or Cornell?
