<p>I was wondering if I could get some advice from all of you on what school I should enroll in. I was accepted into all three of these Business programs, and I want to study something along the lines of Finance or Financial Engineering. I really don't know which school I should go to because all of them have their own great advantages. What do you guys think in terms of each schools prestige, job placement, and overall education? Thanks!</p>
<p>In terms of finance, I think Stern wins all three categories.</p>
<p>any other more in-depth thoughts?</p>
<p>I think the reason why jnpn didn't elaborate is because Stern is unanimously better. It's not even a question.</p>
<p>I go to McDonough, but out of the three, I think if you're particularly interested in Financial Engineering I'd go with Tepper. Yeah, Stern is great, but I think the mathematics background from CMU is hard to match. </p>
<p>Like I said, I go to Georgetown and am considering FinEng also. GU is an awesome school, be sure to find out which one you like best, they are all excellent opportunities academically and post-graduation wise. I have the flexibility here, and am basically creating my own concentration of Finance, Mathematics, Accounting & Economics, which will basically allow me to consider any path, Trading, etc or MA/PhD in Math/Finance/Econ. </p>
<p>If you have any specific questions about Georgetown/MSB in particular, feel free to ask.</p>
<p>Definitely Stern! Why!?</p>
<p>1) Has the highest rank out of the three universities you listed.
2) Located in the bustling NYC which is the gateway to intern and jobs.</p>
<p>Undergrad</a> - BSchools</p>
<p>In terms of salary, they both seem to be on par with one another. In regards to job placement, I believe it to be the same as well. Job placement is probably as follows: Stern > MSB > Tepper.</p>
<p>I'm under the impression you have time before you make your decision. Don't rush it. Get a feel for the schools, even if it is through CC or through their website. You can pick up a lot. I visited Georgetown and it had a weird atmosphere to it. You walk out of campus, and boom...the city. You go back inside, and its nice and peaceful. It would be hard for me to transition back and forth like that. But for their bschool? It's stellar. The kids come out making good money. Great for international business as well. They had a handful of kids go to Goldman Sachs last year. No easy feat.</p>
<p>Look, I'm just saying if you want to do Financial Engineering, I'd have to give the edge to Tepper. Finance at Stern is wonderful, no doubt. Rank, whatever, its not important. Stern is arguably the best business school of the three, however for Financial Engineering Tepper probably has a slight edge in my opinion.</p>
<p>But seriously, don't just go on what people on a message board are saying (while I do hold myself in high regard... :-) Visit and all. I hated the feel of NYU, I just couldn't see myself going to that type of school. Seriously, the "edges" between these three schools is slim at best, its not like its going to completely alter your post-graduation opportunities. Ultimately the school doesn't matter a huge degree when you're talking about three programs as respected in finance and overall as these. The only bad choice you can make is choosing one that you don't think you'll like, but will attend because of some slight perceived advantage. Those are my 2 cents</p>
<p>Wow, BC's starting salary seems pretty low - $50,000</p>
<p>Especially when you consider it's in a city</p>
<p>Many of those schools on that list, even some lower ranked ones, have higher starting salaries than BC</p>
<p>Can anyone explain why this is?</p>
<p>Well, there are problems with NYU...it's not that cut and dry. 70% of the students there major in finance and are looking for the same jobs...unlike at other business school. And on top of that it is curved, so competition to get the best ibanking jobs is very rough.</p>
