I was wondering with school has a bigger wall street pull and is overall more prestigious in specifically the NYC/northeast area.

According to rankings:

Businessweek
UVA = #2
Cornell = #3

USNWR
UVA = #5
Cornell = #10

Also, according to the objective data on their websites, it seems that the average starting salary for Cornell is around $59,000 whereas for UVA it is closer to $61,000.

Does this mean that UVA is a more prestigious/better business school? I feel like Cornell is always better thought of just because of it is in the Ivy League.
