Based on the most helpful WSO content, it is possible to land an investment banking (IB) role from Cornell's Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE) program, but it may require additional effort compared to more traditional finance-focused programs. Cornell has a strong alumni network in finance, particularly in New York City, which can be leveraged for networking opportunities. However, the ORIE program itself is not specifically tailored for IB, so you would need to demonstrate your interest in finance through extracurricular activities, relevant coursework, and networking.
If you're considering transferring to Brown, it's worth noting that while Brown has a reputation for being less stressful and more focused on consulting, it may not necessarily provide better resources for IB compared to Cornell. Cornell generally has stronger placement in finance, including IB, due to its alumni network and resources. However, Brown could be a better fit if you're looking for a less competitive environment or are more interested in consulting or other career paths.
Ultimately, staying at Cornell ORIE and focusing on building your finance profile (e.g., joining finance clubs, taking finance-related electives, and networking with alumni) could be a viable path to IB. Transferring to Brown might not significantly improve your chances unless you feel the environment or resources there align better with your goals.
