Mendoza vs Cornell ILR vs Stern

I just received notification that I got into both schools. Which should I pick? I like the fact that Mendoza offers more prestige than NYU, but I'm deadset on NYC I-Banking. Is Stern the smarter play or is it a marginal difference. I'm also applying to Cornell ILR. I feel that Stern is a better short term option but the alumni base at ND seems more loyal and a better long term option. Thanks again for answering.

Lol, thank you for that but Notre dame seems more prestigious and better for the long run. And it's much better for NYC IB compared to my other option of UNC
