Cooper Union or Nyu Stern

<p>i still dont know where i want to go next year nyu stern or cooper union. i know i want to do something in math but im not sure if i wanna do business or engineering. if i go to cooper union will my business oppurtunities be as good as nyu stern.</p>

<p>a) If you go to Cooper, you will be at engineering school, not business school.</p>

<p>b) More CEOs of Fortune 500 companies were engineering majors than any other college major.</p>

<p>TH21, where did you get that stat that most CEOs were engineering majors? Do you know what type of engineering? ChemE? Biomed? Materials? MechE? etc?</p>

<p>im not sure wat i wanna do yet but as of now civil</p>

<p>If you're considering the question, go to Stern.</p>

<p>i went to cooper for a year and hated it.</p>

<p>cooper's tuition free. but it's a really tough school. Stern will be cake in comparison. it'll be difficult to graduate from cooper. As far as business is concerned, my friend's friend who was stern economics grad is working as an office secretary because all wall-street is BANKRUPT.</p>

<p>so i'd say B- school in this economy for undergrad - hmmm? Also CivE at cooper is DOABLE. Their chemE and EE are lunatic but if their civE shouldn't be too bad.</p>

<p>with all that said go with cooper civE.</p>

<p>what about your scores?sat reasoning or subject tests?</p>

<p>Scores above 700 are respectable.</p>

<p>do i have a good shot if i apply with math1 750, math2 740 ? (civil eng.)</p>

<p>My son is finishing up with his RD application for Cooper Union (chemical engineering). He applied to 6 schools and will wait and see what his options are. </p>

<p>He's a pretty smart kid, solid scores (800/800/720) and GPA, rigorous HS engineering program. The program does typically get kids into top schools, including Cooper Union. I think he'll have a decent shot at getting in.</p>

<p>So, I am wondering what kind of college experience will he get at Cooper? I know everyone talks about how difficult the program is. He's always been a great student, I really want him to have a good experience in college in addition to getting a good education. I think the school's small size could be a great feature. </p>

<p>When I read comments here on CC that make the school sound like some kind of boot camp, it does worry me. I would appreciate any feedback from current students or recent grads. </p>

<p>Also, if housing is not guaranteed beyond freshman year, how difficult will it be to stay somewhere near campus. I don't want him to commute to school if he can avoid it... </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>For Electrical Engineering - or Art - or architecture -> CU is a fantastic choice.</p>

<p>But for any other kinds of engineering (mechE/civE) go elsewhere because the programs are OK.</p>

<p>In any case, good luck to everyone! God bless all of you.</p>
