<p>Interest in investment banking on Wall St. I know AEM is typically the business school at cornell, but i will only have ilr. tough call between the two because cornell has the ivy reputation and lots of resources; it is more prestigious than michigan, which has 50% acceptance rate, although i was pre-accepted to ross, which is hard to get. i also know ross has a stellar reputation in business. which one is better in terms of being able to land internships and jobs right out of college? assume money and fit are same for both. thanks</p>
<p>Michigan is essentially on par with Cornell in academics, and Ross is one of the best business schools in the country.</p>
<p>I’d rather go to one of the best state schools than what’s generally considered the lowliest Ivy.</p>
<p>Cornell is the worst Ivy? Please, did you forget about Dartmouth? I don’t much about the Cornell IRL program, so I can’t comment on that, but Ross’s reputation in undergraduate business education is second only to Wharton.</p>

<p>Cornell is the best ivy for engineering. ILR is also fantastic, but if OP wants to go into IB on Wall Street, I don’t see why he’d attend a school that leads to HR jobs, especially when he has Ross.</p>
<p>I think the OP just wants to say he has an Ivy-league degree so he can sleep well at night. I mean, without one, you’d practically be rejected in all reputable social circles, amirite?</p>
<p>“Interest in investment banking on Wall St”</p>
<p>I don’t know why, but that statement reads really funny. Makes me sorta’ wish that there were a ton of solid IB gigs in Chicago. You’d actually feel pretty wealthy as an analyst.</p>
<p>What’s the cost differential like between UM and Cornell and does that matter to you?</p>
<p>Michigan is way better in business</p>
<p>These schools no doubt offer diffferent curricula, different required courses, different distribution and in-college requirements, etc.</p>
<p>One is an undergraduate college of business administration, the other is a college of labor relations. These are not just names.</p>
<p>Suggest consider what you actually prefer to study and learn. That will be tangible, whereas your winding up on Wall Street is only hypothetical, regardless.</p>
<p>ILR is a great launching pad for a career in HR or prelaw. Ross is a great option for people interested in a corporate path. Cornell may ne a member of the Ivy League, but Michigan is considered one of the 10 or so universities outside the Ivy League that are just as prestigious and respected. In terms of reputation, resources and quality, Michigan matches Cornell.</p>
<p>what you have to realize is you just posted this thread onto the michigan message board. michigan is in no way equal to cornell academically and it never will be. you can always get an mba later on but you will never have an opportunity to go ivy league undergrad again.</p>
<p>^^^Prestige whore. The quality of education is the same and you have to remember that by the time you graduate, Michigan’s acceptance rate will be in the low 30’s or high 20’s. It might just sneak into the 30’s this year. The switch to the commonapp will boost the already meaningless USNWR ranking. Anyways, if you want to big business in New York or Chicago after graduation, Ross is tough to beat. You would be at no disadvantage coming out of there than ILR at Cornell.</p>
<p>as it says right under your name eziamm you are michigan '15 therefore you arent even in college yet. as a current UofM student the quality of education here is nowhere near what you will get at cornell ilr.</p>
<p>So you’ve received education from Cornell ILR as well and can accurately compare it to Michigan?</p>
<p>tenniscoop1, you’re only a freshman at michigan, and oh come on you struggled in engin 101? So what makes you think cornell is so superior to michigan? </p>
<p>Good luck with your cornell transfer, cuz that rare window of ivy league education is definitely once in a life time.</p>
<p>tenniscoop- It doesn’t really matter because I will never attend both and therefore never have first hand experience with both. I’ve learned enough about colleges to this point to feel confident in what I said.</p>
<p>I am an alum of both Michigan LSA (BS, class of '96) and Cornell ILR (MILR, class of '01). Both are great in their own way. Post #9 says it all.</p>
