<p>What do you guys think of those two schools, particularly in terms of entering the finance industry? Do you view them as equals or Haas better or Stern better?</p>
<p>In general, Haas has a superior prestige, but only very, very slightly. </p>
<p>If you want to work in NY, Stern has a slight edge primarily because you’d have access to offices there. If you want to work in the West Coast, Haas has got an edge. But both schools would get you into top banks and finance jobs unless you prefer not to apply and venture into your own business.</p>
<p>Is that “Sternie” ((abbrev. of your user name), as in Stern? Sounds like your mind is already made up… </p>
<p>I’d go with Haas, but I love the S.F. bay area.</p>
<p>They are pretty much equal in prestige in their own separate spheres. Haas has influence on the west coast while Stern has influence on the east coast. Both are also not the absolute top recruiter on either coastlines because Haas is overshadowed by Stanford and Stern is also overshadowed by Columbia, HYP, etc.</p>
<p>It’s really just more about location.</p>
<p>the difference is in the cost of attending. and if you don’t have it, thinking you can borrow it, read this thread who is making 62K in NYC.</p>

<p>it dose not matter if you can afford a full frieght. or the lucky few that got a full ride.</p>
