Hi guys! I am posting this for a friend who got into CMU Dietrich and NYU CAS. She plans on majoring in Economics and International Relations but is unsure what to choose between the two. CMU has more prestige, and her parents are really pushing her to go, but she likes the opportunities to find internships in NYC, especially during the school year when there is less competition; she wouldn’t have that in CMU in Pittsburgh. Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Both are expensive, but NYU is a bit more. Both also have great Econ departments. I would have to lean towards CMU though. You will not have less oppurtunitites by going there instead of NYU. Thats just my opinion though.
You might want her to make an account and post on here so we could ask how much she can afford each school/what her FA package was. You surely wouldn’t know that information so we can’t really help.
Hi this is the friend here… I’m sharing this account now.
My family contribution was too high and I did not get any aid from either school. Money is not an issue and my parents can afford to pay. Given this information, what should I choose? I might also add that I want to go to law school and I am afraid that it will be hard to have a good GPA at CMU and that I won’t get into a top law school as a result.
