How does Stern stack up?

<p>So I've been accepted to Stern and the Stern Scholars Program, which sounds very enticing. I received $10K scholarship, but the rest of the cost would be covered by loans, and my parents can't afford $35K/yr. I was rejected to Wharton-UPenn, Harvard, deferred from Cornell AEM, and accepted with $$ help to Olin-WashU, UMiami, Lehigh, SUNY-Binghamton, and Boston U). I hear from Stanford and GW today.</p>

<p>So my question is this: how does Stern compare to the rest of these schools? I know the finance program is excellent and only Wharton's is comparable. But what about other programs such as management or accounting? So far NYU is among my top choices, although cost is a concern, and Olin and UMiami are probably my others (barring an incredible Stanford acceptance later today). I'm talking about both the education and possible job offers after school. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>By deferred I meant waitlisted at Cornell. My bad.</p>

<p>And by the way, I was rejected from Stanford too. What a surprise.</p>

<p>Regarding undergraduate business rankings overall (USNWR):</p>

<p>1.University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
2.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan)
3.University of California--Berkeley (Haas)
3.University of Michigan--Ann Arbor
5.New York University (Stern)
5.Carnegie Mellon University
5.U. of North Carolina--Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler)
5.University of Texas--Austin (McCombs)
9.University of Southern California (Marshall)
9.University of Virginia (McIntire)</p>

<p>I know this is off topic but how does Cornell's AEM program compare to Cornell CAS economics? I had applied to CAS because I did not like the term Agriculture School...did I mess up?</p>

<p>well, keep in mind that the rankings focus on different things. Carnegie Mellon + MIT are good at stuff like Quantative analysis. UPenn + NYU are the best in finance. Berkeley is suppose to be good in management.</p>

9

<p>NYU? it's entrepruership.</p>

10

<p>Stern is better than all the other other places you were accepted in.</p>

11

<p>Yeah, I figured that, although I'm surprised Olin doesn't rank as well seeing as it's very high on the overall rankings?</p>

12

<p>can someone elaborate on NYU entrepreneurship</p>

13

<p>umich ross is top in management.</p>

14

<p>could you tell me a little about the stern scholars program?</p>

<p>Stern's expertise are in Finance, International Business, accounting, real estate, marketing.. not in management or entrepeneurship-not something that can be learned by sitting through classes but through experience. I would pick an "actual" major. Almost anyone who comes to Stern, tries to do finance.</p>
