Which one to pick- Duke vs Cornell ($) [#permalink] New post   24 Dec 2015, 10:14
Hi all,

I got accepted by both schools and so excited to about quite my job and start MBA journey! Without considering money, can you help me compare both schools?

My background is sales. I also do IT consulting (software implementation) for a year. Want to go to management consulting upon graduation or IT field. I would appreciate it if you can help me compare pro and cons. Thanks again!

You can look at both employment reports but I thought Management consulting was stronger at Duke. Cornell is equal or stronger in finance though from what I hear

Congrats :-D

Duke is known as a feeder to the MBB compared to Cornell. The level of electives will give wide exposure in management consulting than offered in Cornell.

Please find attached sheet. I took it from an article from Poet's and Quant.

I hope it helps

Thanks for sharing this insight!! I really appreciate it. Considering the fact that I don't really like New York area (where Cornell is) I guess, Duke should be the answer...
