Cornell MPS Applied Economics and Management VS Duke MMS (Master in Management)

Hi guys. I got offer from both program. I think Duke has at least 2 oppurtunities for hands on project in consulting, but the program is only one year, and courses are very basic and if you get bad teammates for project GPA will be influenced.

Cornell AEM allows extension to 1.5 year, but I do not see as many resources as Duke MMS. I do not see any oppurtunity for real world projects. The classes aligns more with my interest but I think the core ones are taken with undergrad.

I did Finance in undergrad and worked in banking BO for a bit, now I want to transition into consulting through Master program (so I will be a new graduate and able to switch industry). I also need a good GPA because I want to apply for MBA in the future. I do not have previous experience in consulting and think the flexibility of Cornell's program could allow me to apply for both full time and summer intern this fall. Need advice on which school to choose and why. Thanks!
