I am an Indian with ~5 years of Indian investment banking experience. Looking for US investment banking roles post-MBA.
UNC pros and IB stats:
- Scholarship (~50% of tuition)
- Less competition for IB roles
- # IB offers: ~30/Class of 280-300 (success rate: ~90%, that is, 30 out of 33-35 seeking got the offer)
UNC cons:
- Regional brand
- Not a target school for certain banks
Cornell pros and IB stats:
- T15 + Ivy + bigger brand
- Gets more looks on the Street
- # IB offers: ~60/Class of ~300 (success rate: ~80%, 55-60 out of 70 seeking got the offer)
Cornell cons:
- Positioned as a banking school, thus stiff competition
- No scholarship as yet
- Cost $90K extra
So as I see, apart from the brand advantage, no additional benefit from Cornell. So, is it really wise to spend $90K extra just to get the brand name?

1) As a future banker, you've got to consider your ROI ... denominators vs. numerators ... and when the smaller number is on the bottom, it's easier to end up with a higher % return. Now, maybe the total $$ return is lower ... I'm not convinced that this is the case ... ESPECIALLY if you live in the mid-atlantic / southeast US. Now, if you want to end up in the NE somewhere, yes, Cornell could be a great idea. I live in the midwest, and I cannot imagine too many people out here would really make a HUGE difference between the two. In fact, a 13-20 ranking for Johnson in most every ranking system and a 18-25 ranking for KF in most every ranking system really isn't THAT big of a deal (imho).
2) The two links in my signature block below might help.
