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?

All 3 schools have great recruitment. In terms of sheer number of people working on the street, NYU stern is tops but interschool competition is tough. If you are on Cornell hotel management, you shouldn't have to worry about transferring to AEM b/c IBs recruit from cornell hotel management as well
