<p>I want to double major in statistics and business(economics) in college.
Berkeley L&S
Pros:
-in state
-will be possible to graduate in 3 years instead of 4
-better stat program
Cons:
-All the way on the other side of the country (big one)
-harder to get internships</p>
<p>NYU Stern
Pros
-in NYC
-more opportunities
Cons
-Crazy expensive
-more competition for NYC internships among classmates
-will graduate in 4 years as opposed to 3</p>
<p>And, I really want to work in NYC after college but feel that Berkeley is a better school in both stat and econ. Unfortunately, it's all the way in the west coast and NYU, well, is in the financial capital. Where should i go if I'm lucky enough to get accepted into both?</p>
<p>PS. I lived in San Fransisco all my life and really want to work in NY.</p>
<p>Considering you really want to work in NYC for S&T, I would recommend NYU over Berkley. If you were indifferent between IB and S&T and between east coast and west, given your Pros, I would recommend Berkley. For NYC-specific opps, I have to recommend NYU over Berkley in this case.</p>
<p>Good luck and PM me if you have any other questions.</p>
<p>If you can get into Haas, then you would have no trouble getting a job in NY. Most firms that recruit at Haas have NY offices.
Why is your other option NYU? You have to realize that a large number of people who work in S&T in NYC did not go to school in NYC.</p>
<p>CMU Tepper is a gem in the S&T world; a top school for quantitative trading with students getting offers from the best prop trading firms. If it’s good enough for Susquehanna and Wolverine, it should be good enough for you =p</p>
