Cornell v NYU v UVA undergraduate business

I am looking to work in IB in NYC after graduation and have to decide between three schools for my undergraduate degree:

  • Cornell for the School for Hotel Administration, but I plan on transferring to Dyson either my second semester, or second year. (Does anybody know how easy this would be?)
  • NYU Stern
  • UVA, I will be applying to transfer into McIntire sophomore year

I also got into Carnegie Mellon Tepper Business School, but I do not know if I should even consider it.

Money is not an issue because they are around the same price for me. Also, lets say ten years down the line will it make a difference if I have an Ivy like Cornell as my alma mater over any of these other schools?
