<p>denzera i agree with what you posted here. yazzz i suggest you look more carefully at the description of IEOR. While it is true that many students go into finance following IEOR, it is hardly a complete business education. at best it would be like a minor in finance at a normal business school. in terms of recruiting columbia has great location, and its ivy league status gives it the edge in some areas, however, the cornell AEM program is a more comprehensive business education which better prepares its students for elite MBA programs around the country</p>
