Cornell Nolan Hotel School vs. UMich Ross for banking/quant

Hello, I was recently admitted to both the Nolan Hotel School at Cornell and the Ross Business School at UMich. I am having a really hard time deciding between the two, so any advice would be very helpful. I am not entirely sure what I want to do post-college, but I am leaning towards Quant. I would love to hear any advice about picking between these two schools and thoughts about both. This decision is based purely on academics and opportunities (money, location, size, etc. are not relevant for me). At Cornell, I would major in Hotel administration (so similar to business) and double minor in two of these four (advice for which two would also be appreciated): Artificial Intelligence, Applied Math, Computer Science, and Data Science. At Ross, I would major in Business Administration. I would also double major in either Industrial & Operations Engineering or Computer Science & Engineering with a focus on data science in either program (advice on which program would also be very helpful). Thank you!
