NYU Stern BPE/BTE vs Columbia GS/CC transfer

Currently at Stern and was wondering if the prestige bump by going to an ivy league would be worth transferring. I'm in one of NYU's top two most prestigious business programs (~2% acceptance rate although I don't know if this is relevant to recruiters) but the lack of prestige compared to ivy league is giving me grass is greener syndrome. Would it be worth transferring to Columbia GS (CC transfer is much more difficult but also possible) or another peer school like cornell, duke, northwestern, Dartmouth, penn (non w), brown, berkeley, etc? How much of a difference would it be compared to Stern?
