Got into these schools as a transfer I'm unsure which of these schools have better prospects for IB, so I want some people to chime in. Vanderbilt Economics, UVA CAS (have to apply for Mcintire so definitely not guaranteed), or Cornell ILR. I feel like these are all peer schools tbh, but still curious

vandy doesn't really compare at all to the other two in recruiting or placement. it's a great school but not a target, semi-target at best
you gotta choose between uva and cornell
Cornell >= UVA >>>>>> Vanderbilt
You're choosing between Cornell and UVA here. Not sure what Cornell ILR is but you should look into if the business school undergrads at Cornell have an advantage over the rest of you all. I've heard Cornell is a pretty competitive school for jobs on the street but it probably out places the other schools by a lot
Regardless, if you want to break into IB from one of these three schools don't go to Vanderbilt. It'll be more difficult.
Dyson students are preferred and I believe make up the majority of the students offered SA gigs
