Williams vs Cornell AEM?

So I'm currently deciding between these two for undergrad. Wall street placement isn't my only priority for choosing a school, but it might sway a close call, which these two are (even though they're vastly different).

So, which would offer a better or easier chance of getting on the street?

I would go with Williams but that's because I like the school better. You will be able to succeed from both schools but might actually be better off from Williams because there is less competition at the school for banking jobs, while at Cornell, a lot of people are gunning for banking jobs and OCR. I cannot speak for Williams's OCR but I know that Williams gets a lot of respect and will not hold you back the least bit.
