<p>I'm accepted by Cornell and Northwestern and plan to major in Econ and Math at either institution. While Cornell, as ivy institution, has the most prominent student body, Northwestern is famous for its excellence in Economics.
I really want to do iBanking after graduation, so which school do you guys think is more prestigious in terms of career placement?
Thank you guys for any advice!</p>
<p>I thought Northwestern was slightly better in those areas, but you need to think about other things as well, such as quarters vs semesters, Evanston vs Ithaca.</p>
<p>cornell is recruited more heavily to new york jobs, northwestern has more job placement in chicago/midwest. for Ibanking, i would slightly lean towards Cornell, but both are great schools, so i would decide which campus fits you best. ivy league does have a good amount of respect on the east coast though.</p>
<p>The one math/econ double major I know at Cornell is currently interning for blackrock.</p>
