Choose bschools: Cornell vs Duke vs Ross

Hi folks, I am going to start MBA this fall, and so far was admitted to all these three schools. Which would you guys vote for a future career in IB or PE? Duke probably has the highest ranking, but heard it lacks presence in wall street ( not sure if it's true). Cornell seems to have more connections in the industry, but its ranking comes around 16, far behind the others.There are other factors like location which would lean to Cornell, but how's the education there? Any advice will be appreciated! Cheers!
