Guys,

I recently got admission from the two schools and do not know how to choose..

The only thing I care about is if I can find a job in the US after graduation..

So, any advice for me?

Thanks a lot!
 
I think Cornell has more Wall St. exposure, but they are both great schools. Have you looked into the curricula? Which one suits you better? Which location suits you better? Which faculty?

Either of these programs will afford you the opportunity to get a job after you finish, provided you are successful in the program. So, which program would you be more likely to succeed in? That should be your question.

Aside:
I'm going to assume you are a Canadian. I am too. I will also be seeing you at Cornell next year if that's where you decide to go.
 
I think it's less difficult to find a job in Chicago by going to UChicago than to find a job in NYC by going to Cornell
 
I would say Cornell since UChicago's program is only 9 months, it will be harder to find a job without summer internship.
