Hey everyone, word on the street is that all IB recruiting will be done virtually this fall. Less or no plane trips to NYC IBs probably makes Anderson more competitive than usual for recruiting, right? It already has supportive alumni in NYC. Johnson obviously has more alumni and spots, but also more competition among students. Without pandemic, both have had strong placements. I think it's a wash up to here.
My heart says to go to LA for 2yrs. And I think that studying in better weather is more conducive to my productivity (academics + recruiting) and hanging out with classmates. Visited Anderson several times and liked the studious vibe there. But I'd probably be set-up better with Cornell alumni long-term in NYC (plus legacy for undergrad).
FYI I have visited Ithaca 0 times, whereas LA multiple times/year. Career-switcher so Cornell +1 with IB immersion? Already enrolled in IB training programs, such as Wall Street Prep, so I feel prepared already for interviews and internship. Thanks for your advice!

You’re best bet is to loop in some admins on gmatclub to help you here.
From what I can tell, both schools are fairly regional. UCLA is mainly west coast placement whereas Cornell will be very heavily on the east coast. If you want to be in NY, it should be much easier.
Having looked at the employment report for UCLA, it looks like only 6% got jobs in banking last year vs 22% at Cornell. Could be self selecting in that UCLA is more tech based. However on paper it would be easier from Cornell.
Have either schools announced how the fall will play out between online, in person, or hybrid?
It seems like your heart is going towards UCLA. I can’t say that’s a bad choice and I’m sure it’s doable to get into IB but you will have to do a lot more leg work.
I would take into account your plan B as well given we don’t know how Covid is going to play out and how companies are going to respond for the next 6 months
