I am interested in investment management and I have applied to all three programs with this in mind, knowing that they are all strong in this area. What would you recommend in terms of gaining an internship & career in investment management (hopefully buy-side hedge fund, etc.)?

Please also list the positives and negatives if you have done the research. Thanks in advance!

Was anyone else interested in Portfolio Management/Capital Markets/Investment Management and gained acceptance to both Cornell and Michigan? If so, what were the factors that went into your decision?

Thanks!
