Hello! Need some advice and asking for a friend.

My friend got into Cornell EMBA but also got a guarantee spot in 2022 Booth EMBA.

Is it worth waiting a year and attending Booth EMBA or should my friend just start in fall at Cornell's EMBA?

Booth by far

Booth would be a better option if your friend wants to pivot to finance or explore options overseas since it has a better name recognition.
