wingman, sorry for the delay as I’ve been away. I get the impression that Cornell ILR is more for people wanting to go to law school or interested in public policy type of stuff, so to me it’s a more specialized program. For recruiting for I-banking/consulting, continuing on to get an MBA, the more relevant comparison is Cornell CAS vs Colgate. Cornell, in general, is more known than Colgate, but you have a good chance of achieving good things from both. They are close enough that finding the atmosphere where you feel you will best thrive will most likely prove to be more important in future success than which one is “considered better”. One difference is there are probably a higher % at Cornell interested in those type of jobs than at Colgate, which is generally more laid back, meaning there may be less competition to get those type of positions out of Colgate
