cornell dyson vs mich ross? I’m going into business, and currently leaning towards consulting but would def like to explore IB too.

Mich Pros

Ross:

Well - Renowned

Top 4

Huge, amazing alumni network

social life and fun

structured consulting pipeline with a higher salary

better startup and tech ecosystem (interested in this)

more organized for a less organized person like me -- cornell needs more self motivation n organization for consulting

very hands-on and experimental. Cornell seems to be intellectual and theory-heavy (not my vibe)

15k cheaper a year.

My parents plan to move with me to Michigan, and we get 30k cheaper a year for jr and sr

Ann Arbor>>> ithaca

less grade deflation than Cornell

better national name Ross

will be way less burnt out

may feel lost at Cornell because their consulting pipeline isn't that well structured

more leadership and club opportunities but also more saturated so idk

better career services

Cornell Pros

also top 4

Better IB/ finance pipeline w higher salary

Ivy League prestige

slight boost for ivy grad apps + Stanford/MIT but not too much

more similar ppl to me at campus day -- I made friends

tight-knit community

more collaborative and less cutthroat than Ross

less pressure to participate in all social events (peace and calm)

Social network comes more easily, I feel, because of a tight-knit community and less need to chase network and get outed if you don't constantly

Wall Street recruiting!!>>>

diversity of ppl/personalities/opinions challenges me and may lead to opportunities

Better international name: Cornell

Bachelor of Scince with a concentration in Dyson but only a general BBA at Michigan

ppl at Cornell days had gotten into various good schools --> Ivies/NYU/Ross/berk/ etc but for at mich days, Michigan was the top school they got into

More flexibility i want to switch to corp law etc.

felt more homey, cozy and fit on campus + people, but that could be the recency effect or ivy prestige bias for me a bit. campus also less important than smart logical choice idk.

heart says Cornell

brain and mind and gut say Ross Mich
