Fordham vs. TCNJ for investment banking (Wall Street)

College Search & Selection

<p>So here's the deal. I've gotten into both TCNJ's business school and Fordham's business school (Gabelli) and I really love finance. Now, because Fordham is so close to Manhattan and is relatively well-known for investment banking, it would be the easier answer to say that I should go to Fordham (because I'd like to work on Wall Street). Fordham has great connections, and alumni network, in the city, and is a great business school.</p>

<p>The problem is that Fordham is literally double the price of TCNJ (25K vs. 50K). Therefore, my big question is: Is it worth it for me to go to Fordham and dish out the extra cash for my undergrad, while TCNJ is a good school on its own? In other words, will the investment pay off? And, is it really that much easier to get onto Wall Street from Fordham considering its not anywhere near schools like the Ivies or Stern.</p>

<p>You should look at CUNY-Baruch – it has a pretty strong business program and you will save money. </p>

<p>Thank you for the input. The only thing is that I’ll be entering college next year and basically every application deadline is closed. So, for me, these are my two best options.</p>

<p>I think Fordham is slightly stronger but not enough to justify the costs - </p>
