Cornell is great. Michigan is great. No red flags if someone gets into both and has the choice and chooses one over the other.
+1. All this hue and cry over two schools that are ranked 17 and 25 respectively.
25 could be Cornell - easily. It’s Soft Ivy that overlaps with Almost Ivies.
If someone thinks it is the right fit for them, and they are part of the single digits to be admitted, who are you to rain on that parade?
OP’s kid chose M over Cornell. Who are you to say she’s wrong about her choice?
Your reading comprehension skills are atrocious.
By randomly marking bubbles, I scored 800 on SAT reading. That kind of randomness eventually catches up. What’s your excuse?

I didn't. I am the one who said both schools are great and no wrong option if admitted to both.

People tend to hire their own types. Podunk alums outnumber Cornell alums by thousands. More Podunk alums hire people than Cornell alums. It’s only natural they favor their own types.
Again, if you think the University of Michigan is "podunk" you have very little understanding of the real world/hiring.

There are many donut hole families who send their kids to state universities over Ivyes for financial reasons. And Cornell is only a 2nd or 3rd tier ivy - not worth the full tuition they charge.

Easy access to NYC by bus throughout school year, a ton of New York classmates, lots of opportunities to meet students from other nearby schools who will wind up in NYC.
Otherwise, I think both are great schools. I went to one for undergrad and the other for grad school and enjoyed both.
Michigan alumni have a huge presence in NYC.
Michigan has a great national rep. She'll have no problem getting hired anyplace nationally.
