UT BHP vs. Cornell Dyson

Hey everyone!

I'm a high school senior who is deciding between Cornell Dyson and UT BHP.

I live in Austin, so I have in-state tuition for UT. If Cornell is worth it, my family and I are willing to work out the extra costs (roughly $200k with general expenses factored in). I really don't want to stay in Texas, but I don't know how much more Ithaca/Cornell can contribute to my college experience than Austin/UT.

Can someone tell me about Dyson and BHP with regards to...

Business education? Campus life? (community, partying, networking, fun events, etc.) Reputation in the school/how much attention the school gives to the students? Job recruitment/placement? (Like most other finance-focused high schoolers, I want to work in Wall Street one day. It might change, but for the time being, this is my main concern with BHP. Though companies recruit there, do many people actually end up going to NYC? Why do the stats between Dyson and BHP differ so drastically? What's the recruitment like for hedgefunds vs. investment banks vs. others? Forgive me for my lack of specific knowledge on different types of firms and businesses.)

And if you're a current or former student of either programs, what would be your pitch for me to go to either school?

Also, how necessary is graduate school for business?
