<p>I am applying EA</p>
<p>why Mi?, stay east with these good credentials</p>
<p>I'd apply stern if i were you. but i think you have great shot at Ross school with really strong ECs and GPA.</p>
<p>you should go to NYU Stern that school is amazing NYU Stern's Finance Program is easily tops in the nation with UPenn Wharton, but Michigan Ross basically doesnt take any freshman from what I have heard the only people I know that have gotten into Ross as a freshman had like a 35 ACT and a 4.0 GPA and they had to write amazing essays to get in, my friend with a 34 ACT and a 3.9 got rejected from ross has to wait to re-apply sophomore year</p>

It shows that Ross pre-admit depends on more than your stats. Btw, if you don't get in as a pre-admit, you can apply again in the winter term of your freshman year.</p>
<p>thanks guys. this is all great stuff. Is Stern really that much better than Ross. US News ranks Ross first and so does business week.</p>
<p>really? I thought Wharton UPenn was first for undergrad</p>
<p>stern and ross are both great schools. but if u are new yorker, why leave your state? I'd say Ross has better academically but stern is really in the middle of the core business.</p>
<p>Ross and Stern are equal as Business schools, but as overall universities, Michigan is better, more complete and more fun than NYU and Ann Arbor is much more student friendly than NYC. </p>
<p>Furthermore, Stern is a one-trick pony. If the IBanks/Financial Sector are doing well, its students place well. If the IBanks/Financial Sector are hurting (like they are today and for the near-mid term), their students will struggle to find jobs. Ross is just as highly regarded as Stern in IBanking circles, but has the edge in other industries.</p>
<p>Unless one does not want a college experience and wants to attend class but live a seprate urban life when not in class, NYU is ideal. Otherwise, Ross makes more sense than Stern.</p>
<p>I'd suggest you to stay in NY and apply directly to Stern. Btw, is the college experience really that bad in NYU?</p>
<p>As a New Yorker who attends the University of Michigan, stay in New York. I'm not going to comment on Ross vs. Stern, but I sure as hell wish I had the opportunity to stay in New York.</p>

What college experience? ... unless you count Wall Street and Time Square.</p>
<p>NYU does not really offer its students a "College Experience". It has no campus, no cohesive culture and no school spirit.</p>
<p>NYC is an interesting place, but not for college students. It is too restrictive and cost prohibitive for 18-20 year olds. Unlike liberate, most New Yorkers I know who had the choice picked Michigan over NYU. Some even picked Michigan LSA over Stern. I recommend visiting the two campuses before making the decision.</p>
