I assume prices would be as follows:

Cal: $15k / year --> $60k total

Cornell: $60k / year --> $240k total 

Certainly believe dyson will NOT restrict you to only business opportunities, you could easily do 2 years of banking and jump to the majority of fields (would argue it wouldn't narrow your opportunities, rather expand them). If you want to work on the west coast, i think Cal does a fantastic job at placing into top banks there (about 1/3 of applicants get into Haas too, which is great). On the other hand, Dyson absolutely crushes recruiting, have a few friends there and heard how a few students got MF PE roles, and or offers from top banks for the most part. 

I think this decision is also largely up to if you want to live in CA vs Ithaca NY (a tad depressing tbh when i visited). In addition, how well can your family help you pay down the cost of attendance at each school?

I think berkely can do the trick, just make sure you grind hard. Will admit, it will prob be easier for you to go to dyson, but want to make sure you're aware it is 100% doable to make it in finance from berkley

Dyson is a recruiting powerhouse and from what I've heard pretty easy in terms of coursework. The 35k difference p/a is pretty significant but I'd argue Cornell is one of few places where paying the full sticker price makes sense. I'd probably go with Cornell unless you have some burning desire to go to Berkeley.
