Hey guys! I really need some help deciding on which school to enter. I plan to dive in investment banking post-MBA. However, I have trouble deciding which school is better for this purpose - Cornell or Darden. Can you please share your viewpoint on this one?

Cornell is a much better school for investment banking. Believe it or not it is even better than the likes of MIT Sloan, Kellogg, Tuck, HBS and Stanford GSB when it comes to investment banking based on the Poets and Quants rankings. Now, I won't always trust the rankings but I visited the school myself and felt that the Investment banking concentration was much more rigorous than their other MBA concentrations. I talked to a lot of students in the MBA program and everyone raved out that program. Other schools beat Johnson on other concentrations but when it comes to Investment banking cornell is among the best, second only to Columbia, Wharton, Booth and NYU Stern. Between Johnson and Darden there is no doubt that Johnson is the clear winner, if it was MIT Sloan and Johnson it would have been debatable. Let me know if it answers your question.
