Cornell vs Ross MBA decision

Hi all, I received offers from Cornell and Ross for the full time MBA program. Ultimate end goal of career in IB..which may be better ?

(No significant difference in ranking and tuition)

Seems like there's a lot of comparisons between Cornell and Duke and/or Ross these days for IB

I posted a comment to a Duke vs Cornell thread the other day, if you swap out Duke for Ross, it's a very similar argument.

It really comes down to Cornell's highly structured IB path vs Ross' MBA experience. Whatever you value more. 

Congrats on the two great acceptances! 

 

Cornell's IB immersion is top notch I hear, and places really well on the street. The others place decently also, but Duke is more of a consulting school. Ross is a decent mix, but you won't have as many alums in New York.
