Cornell vs Darden
I recently got accepted into both Cornell and Darden for their MBA. Cornell comes with $50K scholarship, post MBA I want to go to into IB or consulting. IB being first choice. Which is best?
If you have a 50k scholarship at Cornell take Cornell. You will be able to establish yourself well enough to get into IB. I know Darden does well in placement but 50k is a lot to turn down.
I’ve seen more UVA people on LinkedIn on Wall Street than Johnson surprisingly (I may be wrong)
UVA you’d be around better looking girls and a more fun environment, but if you go to Cornell you’ll have a stronger network all around.
You can always hang at the Cornell club in NYC.
It’s also an Ivy League and that means something. As someone who didn’t go to an Ivy I’m not going to pretend like it doesn’t.
Commented on a similar post the other week.

Essentially Cornell has a very solid structured IB program, but you can certainly get IB from Darden. It depends how you want to go after IB (i.e. do you need a super structured IB program?). Darden blows Johnson away in consulting, not even close. As for MBA experience, would say Darden is much better, Cornell is considered to be light on the overall MBA experience.
Best of luck!
