Cornell
Easy to get NYC and other locations from Cornell while its harder to get NYC from Berkeley, but being a part of the right finance club on campus is better than the school itself.
Both are great - go to whichever one fits ur need like financials, locations, etc.
Berkeley and Cornell has consistent placements every year :)
Current cornell student. Cornell has one of the most structured and straightforward pipelines of any school. Everyone knows when it's time to network, all of the firms visit (core school basically everywhere), huge alumni base to reach out to, etc. You follow the steps and you get an offer.
Pick on city to work in (sf/nyc). If you’re not in Dyson at Cornell it’s fine, if you’re not in haas then you will struggle
