Both are excellent, top tier business schools. You can get a great job in even the most prestigious fields from either b-school.

Cornell’s business school is a four year program (guaranteed).
McIntire is a two year program - you have to apply as a sophomore.

Virginia does have some risk involved, obviously, as the average GPA accepted to McIntire is about a 3.6.

On the other hand, Virginia will have a more active social scene and better sports. Cornell may also be more expensive depending on scholarships/aid.

I would personally give Cornell the edge, due to the prestige and guaranteed admission to the b-school. It depends on fit, though.
