<p>I am so glad I got into Emory!! :)</p>
<p>And I'm going to Emory no matter what.</p>
<p>But I kinda feel bad about abondoning NYU.</p>
<p>So could you guys tell me, Emory and NYU, which one's better?</p>
<p>NYU: Great City, Lots of Opportunities, Stern possibility, etc</p>
<p>Emory: Better ranking, better temperature, etc.</p>
<p>Well, since you mentioned Stern, I am willing to bet you plan on going into business. With that in mind, Emory has a higher ranked business school than NYU (Goizueta):</p>
<p>Yeah but that is the bweek ranking. No offense to emory, but Stern is on a different level in terms of prestige/what jobs it will get you. In fact, some of Emory's biggest recruiters (I know Lehman recruits there, I think Bear Stearns does too) are nearly dead companies. I would not even BEGIN to put Emory in the top 5 of undergrad b-schools. That honor belongs to Wharton, Sloan, Stern, Haas, and Ross.. In fact, Emory probably wouldn't even fall in the top 10. Of course, realize that NYU is cutthroat competitive, and there's absolutely no feel of community. But, if I were to pick one, I'd pick NYU just for the fact that it's a much better school. And finally, average starting salary is over $5,000 different, in favor of Stern. You also have a much better chance at landing jobs at the best of the best Ibanks (read: Goldman Sachs). Stern sends a ton of kids to Goldman each year, while emory will probably send 2-3.</p>
<p>How do you know all of that? Is there an article that you can refer us to?</p>
<p>And what is wrong with the BusinessWeek rankings? I thought that, generally, they were the best to go by.</p>
<p>I've done a ton of research, as I was serious in both schools. If you look on goizueta undergrad's website, their average income is around $55,000 for finance majors. However, NYU this past year eclipsed the 60,000 mark. (It's in the business week article which goes along with the rankings). Lehman Bros. and Bear Stearns have both had very public, embarrassing meltdowns (it started a while ago, when one of BS's hedge funds shot to $0, and the subprime meltdown, well.. is the subprime meltdown). The field is very volatile right now, and you NEED, absolutely have to go to schools with solid recruiters. Goldman basically called the subprime meltdown ahead of time, and that's why they have been able to remain so successful .</p>
<p>Businessweek rankings are ok, but I just think that those of US NEws are better.</p>
<p>But how do you know about the recruiters? Because, in the "Visit Emory" video I heard the speaker say that many of their students (which I am guessing means more than 2-3) are recruited to large firms such as Goldman Sachs, etc., each year. </p>
<p>And does that starting salary include people who go on to get their MBA? Becasue wouldn't that change the numbers slightly (since they may not have a job)? </p>
<p>And where do you find the complete list of US News undergraduate business rankings? Becasue on the website they only have the top three, which does not include either school: </p>
<p>USNews.com:</a> America's Best Colleges 2008: Best Undergraduate Business Programs</p>
<p>Well, for NYU I got GSP'd, which is a two-year liberal art program.
So my two options are:</p>
<p>A) Go to General Studies Program at NYU and try to transfer to Stern
B) Go to Emory and plan my next move</p>
<p>Thanks for your inputs guys!</p>
<p>of course the average starting salary at stern is going to be hire. the cost of living in new york is ridiculous so generally jobs pay more. and considering atl has one of the best cost of living in the nation 5,000 would not be enough to move me. not everybody that gets a degree goes on to some big firm most just local . thats why the average of emory is slightly lower since its in atlanta. while the average of stern is higher. do not always be fulled by numbers. ask questions. and if you examine the way usnews actually ranks programs its more on prestige than anything else. while business week examines the schools more in depth</p>
<p>I don't know much about Stern except that it is cutthroat and its strongest program is by far finance. If you don't plan on doing finance then I don't think either stern/goizueta matter, maybe a slight edge to goizueta. </p>
<p>The large banks (GS, ML, MS, JPM, Lehman) all come down here to recruit. What really matters in getting a job is your gpa and your networking skills. At stern there is probably a larger alumni base at all these banks, which makes networking easier.</p>
<p>As far as the median income or whatever, that statistic is for undergrads. But keep in mind that that figure is slightly lower than stern because it reflects regional job placement (>40% get jobs in the southeast, where cost of living is lower, thus base salary is lower). Your base salary is indifferent to the school you go to.</p>
<p>I need to know the same thing........ Emory or NYU.</p>
<p>But I am in CAS...</p>
<p>I would suggest that if Theodred has the "Stern Possibility" to go for it.</p>
<p>whoa! I thought they quit doing GSP for Stern this year...</p>
<p>why is emory ranked 5 by bweek for undergrad and then ranked 24 by usnews for grad?</p>
<p>in any case, NYU may be better. they are virtually tied for undergrad. and there are more opportunities in NYC</p>
<p>I think it comes down to fit. they are vastly different. IMO, NYU would be cool just because it's in NYC</p>
<p>of course, if you're not going into business, then there's not much reason to NYU over Emory.</p>
<p>I am a Stern student, and I think if you had to choose between GSP and Emory, I would choose Emory. GSP is kind of a joke, I hear a lot of my GSP friends complain. I think Emory would just provide you a stronger undergrad education than NYU if you aren't in Stern, and even Stern has its drawbacks. Good luck with your decision though!</p>
<p>Stern is also a 4 year program, which was WAY too much business for me. I'm interning @ Lehman and I go to Emory so you can still definitely find your way into internships.</p>
<p>Goizueta isn't as cut-throat as Stern, too. Much better atmosphere.</p>
