I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

All can get you there. I would say Cornell is best, followed by Duke/Ross. Duke/Ross have relatively more MM folks than Cornell, but BB and maybe a few EBs are still doable from them as well.

Never said they don't send anyone to BB, just that there are relatively more MM folks there, moreso at Ross than Duke.  Which I don't think is wrong, having spoken to people involved in IB at both (I'm an inbound MBA student this fall). I don't think it's wrong to say that Cornell is the best for IB of the three... but at the end of the day it will be a marginal difference at best.
