Boston College or Cornell ILR
I was recently admitted to the Carroll School of Management at Boston College, but I also was given a “transfer option” (which is pretty much an all-but-guaranteed transfer pathway) to the Cornell ILR program entering sophomore year. I would most likely not be able to internally transfer into AEM upon arrival at Cornell. Would being in the ILR program be an extreme detriment to my IB job prospects, and is it worth transferring into from a semi-target (BC)? Thanks in advance for your insight, hope y’all are safe and healthy.
Go with Cornell, ILR is no detriment at all. I know loads of ILR people who went into IB. All schools across Cornell have access to the same recruiting events, materials, networks, etc... It is the Cornell pedigree that is most important here, broader network, more firms recruiting from there, closer to NYC, top notch peers and learning environment, the list goes on.
BC is closer to NYC. Cornell is in Ithaca, NY...they have gorges there. BC is outside of Boston, a world class city.
Not the original dude, but one word: traffic. The trip from Boston to NYC took me over 8 hours once. Obviously upstate NY has a lot less traffic.
On a more related note, one more vote for Cornell here.
The specific college you attend at Cornell means little and will not be a detriment. You'll probably enjoy ILR too because it has a reputation for being less difficult than something like Econ.
Cornell all the way.
I would advise strongly against going into your freshman year at BC, or any university, with the mindset that you are definitely going to transfer. Give yourself a chance to fall in love with the school. Go to BC, kill your academics, get involved in all the finance clubs, and go from there. If by the end of your freshman year, you find you don't fit in at BC and honestly feel you won't place well into IB then transfer. However, BC Carroll is the real deal and places 1-3 students into IB at each of the BBs every year. BC Carroll's reputation continues to grow and the resources available to CSOM students are just as good if not better than those in the ILR school at Cornell.
The transfer option to Cornell is the obvious choice. Coming from a Dyson student, that knows tons on people in ILR. It is by far one of the easiest majors to do exceptionally well in, tons of reading and writing (which will help out significantly). Plus, you get all the same recruiting opportunities as the entire campus, with the exception of the Dyson only info/recruiting session.
ILR is bettere than BC but it's not at black-and-white as you think. I would go to BC for your first year and feel it out. If you don't like it then transfer.
Cornell absolutely 100 percent.
