[U-grad] Richard Ivey vs. McIntire + 100k debt

Hey guys,

I'm currently trying to decide whether to stay at Western (where I would attend Ivey), or to attend UVa McIntire, of which I've recently successfully transferred into. My past internship experience includes a boutique IB out of NY, and a small hedge fund in Canada.

My concern is whether the recruiting gap between Ivey and McIntire is worth the extra 100k; about 1% of Ivey grades made it into NY BBs this year, while ~7% of McIntire made it into NY BBs. Additionally, while Ivey has all the BBs post job listings, I think only a few (mainly LA offices) do OCR, while I'm sure all the BBs do OCR at McIntire.

What do you guys think? Of course going to either will still require a ton of hustle and hard work, but will going to McIntire open doors that I would never be able to open at Ivey, even if I networked my ass off?
