<p>I know there is another post like this, but this is an issue that's very complicated. I recently found out I was admitted into Cornell as a transfer to their AEM business program. However, I'm very undecided about whether to transfer or not. I have gotten involved at UVA and I'm bound to get more involved and get more leadership positions as my second year progresses. Although there is always the lingering question of whether I will get into McIntire, I am fairly confident that I will get in because my grades are well above the average for admitted students, I am fairly involved in the University, I have a good variety in my course load, and I am taking difficult classes as well. I am from New York State, so I do have the NY in-state tuition advantage, but I received a scholarship from UVA, so the costs of going to both is comparable (UVA is actually slightly cheaper). I really like it at UVA, but I also have to consider my future. I am very interested in investment banking, marketing, and international business, so Wall Street is definitely somewhere I'm considering in the future. I am a second-generation Taiwanese American and my parents only exposure to American college is Cornell graduate school, so I would like to know which would provide me a better opportunity for my goals since their experience and our knowledge of Wall Street are pretty limited. I have given a lot of thought to this and would like more information. I know that UVA has the ICE program, but I want to know what Cornell has that makes it as valuable as McIntire. Again, this decision is very complicated, so I really appreciate some feedback. I know McIntire is more highly ranked than Dyson (Cornell AEM), but is the "Ivy status" of Cornell that much more of an asset for my future. Thanks again!</p>
<p>PS I know that there's the risk of not getting into McIntire, but I am just as worried about transferring Cornell and graduating without doing anything that differentiates me from my fellow classmates in the Dyson school, which would hinder my chances of finding an ideal job.</p>
