<p>I want to study business in order to find a job in finance in Nyc if I can.
What is the reputation of each of these schools ?
I know that Dartmouth has probably the best one in the country since it is an ivy but ND has a great business school (mendoza) like Stern and McGill has probably the best reputation worldwide (I am european and most people know about McGill here while they haven't heard of the three others)
SO what do you think ?
Thanks a lot !</p>
<p>For what you want to do, Dartmouth by a mile…</p>
<p>Definitely Dartmouth although ND is greaT TOO!</p>
<p>Dartmouth, absolutely. The other 3 don’t even come close. You can find a job in finance after Dartmouth but you won’t be able to study it there, since Dartmouth doesn’t offer any business-related majors to its undergraduates. If that doesn’t sound good to you, then obviously one of the other 3 will be much better for you.</p>
<p>^And judging by how well Dartmouth is represented on Wall Street, I think studying Economics is more than fine.</p>

<p>The Mendoza College of Business was ranked as the best undergraduate business school in the U.S. It is the best of the best. Plus, Notre Dame is AMAZING and has a fabulous alumnae network, which will be great for job opportunities. Notre Dame was also ranked in WSJ’s ranking of the top 25 universities based on preparedness for jobs after college, and Dartmouth wasn’t ranked.</p>
<p>And don’t fall for that stupid “Ivy” distinction. That prestige has been granted by the hype people cause over the fact that there are leaves on the school’s buildings. Besides, the Ivy League was created because they were the 8 best football teams, not because they were the 8 best schools.</p>
<p>^ You made my day.</p>
<p>^I try, I try.</p>
<p>Dartmouth.</p>
<p>My sister graduated from Dartmouth and works on Wall Street (literally!) She said she works with people from McGill, Stern, MIT, Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, etc. but has never mentioned ND. I asked her about the Dartmouth presence and she said it is big in NYC. The Ivies have their own Alumni Assn. buildings next to each other right over by Grand Central. Dartmouth’s is in with Yale’s. I have been there with my sister, it is pretty nice to see you have not just the Dartmouth alumni, but all 8 schools working together.</p>
<p>Are they Dartmouth B.A. graduates or Dartmouth M.B.A. (Tuck School) graduates?</p>
<p>i think dartmouth is your best bet. dartmouth has strong post grad networking and a particularly strong presence in nyc.</p>
<p>and please don’t listen to haters; is it just me or is it strange that the only people who complain that ivies are overrated are the people who have <em>never attended</em> ivies?! come on, guys!</p>
<p>My sister is a Dartmouth undergrad (French Lit major) and most of the people she works with are a mixture of undergrads and grads. Tuck is, of course, well represented on WS. Everyone has their own personal favorites, make your decision based on yourself and your own feelings. I struggled with Dartmouth for engineering vs other schools, but in the end, I only had the feeling I had when I stepped onto Dartmouth’s campus. (I applied ED and was accepted) Go with your heart, you only get to do this one time!</p>
<p>These schools could not be more different: Dartmouth is more similar to Williams or Middlebury than Notre Dame or NYU. Most leaders in business/finance in NYC obtained undergraduate B.A. (or A.B.) at top liberal arts programs (e.g. HYP, Williams, Amherst), rather than an undergraduate business degree, followed by recruitment as an associate (IB, management consulting) and, possibly, after an MBA.</p>

<p>2chill, you can post the Notre Dame ten millions times, but that isn’t going to change the fact that Dartmouth is a magnitude better than Notre Dame if you want to end up in Finance on Wall Street…</p>
<p>Undergraduate business schools besides Wharton are pretty worthless - a Women’s Studies degree from Dartmouth will be way better for jobs. And Notre Dame is mediocre even among UG business programs. Even NYU Stern will be better for Wall Street than ND. But Dartmouth is much better in every way (if you can stand being in the frozen boonies)</p>
<p>Get a LA degree in economics, which at Dartmouth can involve a couple of tracks, one of which is finance and deals with financial intermediaries, banking, investment banking, and target valuation. Dartmouth just opened accounting and management courses for undergraduates. The Wallstreet Journal and Fortune (The Economist from time to time) ranks Tuck #1. Junior year undergraduates can apply and take the Tuck Bridge Program in the summer. Then, either get a job or go on to an MBA or JD. Then, 10 years out, join the others that cause Dartmouth to be ranked #1 on compensation level of all Ivies and all other school graduates.</p>
<p>Sinbad…here’s a crazy suggestion since you are considering NYU… take a shot at FU foundation at Columbia if you have any interest at all in engineering. Amazing opportunities and many graduates pursue careers on WS, including local intern jobs. It’s an insanely difficult major, but great training for analytical thinking.</p>
