There are probably some grads of every sizable school working in just about every area of the country. But it seems reasonable to me that Cornell may be more heavily recruited out of region in these particular areas of endeavor than UVa is. Because it is recognized as being among the top programs nationally in these areas, and UVa isn’t. Also it is a sizable program. I got my first job out of college at a large engineering firm in the midwest. That firm only recruited out-of-region at four schools on the east coast that I remember. They were MIT, Cornell, RPI and Georgia Tech.
That doesn’t mean OP will wind up out of region though. There is likely a regional bias to recruiting at Cornell too. In my day lots of people wound up all over the country, including the “hot” tech firms of the day out west. but others didn’t.
And I have no current connection with recruiting at either school, so take this for what it’s worth.
