Is Cornell ILR a target school for IB?

Would it be worth it to transfer internally to A&S for Econ or stay at ILR? I’ve heard that recruiting opportunities don’t differ that much between the different colleges at Cornell but idk if anyone can attest to this.

Wouldn’t transfer for IB. All schools at Cornell get looks for IB, agree w above. 

 

Cornell ILR alum. You will be absolutely fine. Cornell ILR/Hotel on their own can be considered targets with the amount of kids going into IB/other front office positions. In my year, around 30 kids out of 200 (of which I would say around 150 did not even want to do finance - HR, PreLaw, Consulting, labor relations etc.) got BB/EB IB positions with a good chunk (like me) going into AM/WM/S&T as well.
