<p>how would you rate these schools from 1 to 5 ( 1 being the least) on how their degree leads to a good job in the finance world?</p>
<p>Columbia
NYU
Fordham
Pace
St. Johns
Baruch College
New School</p>
<p>any help would be great,thank you.</p>
<p>Columbia is by far the best, NYU is close if it is from Stern, then NYU, and then a big drop off.</p>
<p>Columbia, (considerable gap), NYU, (very considerable gap), Fordham, (very considerable gap), Baruch next and the rest of the schools are pretty much the same.</p>
<p>I've only heard of four - and I think it really depends on what you're looking for. Personally, I would prefer an innovative school:</p>
<ol>
<li>New School</li>
<li>NYU (because of Gallatin)</li>
<li>Fordham</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
</ol>
<p>He's looking for a good job in the finance world.</p>
<p>I'd agree with the others and say Columbia and NYU should be at the top of the list.</p>
<p>Kheryn may have personal preferences, but they do not translate into the reality of the financial world. I agree with all the others in that Columbia is a clear #1, with NYU following at a distance. As for the others, I would look outside NYC first ... to a top-tier private, and then combine it with a good internship in NYC.</p>
<p>I second what jonathan and admisscouns say.</p>
<h2>Columbia</h2>
<h2>NYU Stern</h2>
<p>NYU CAS
Fordham. </p>
<p>-= sig. gap</p>
<p>Columbia - 5
NYU (stern) - 5
NYU - 4
Fordham - 3
St. Johns - 3
Pace - 2</p>
<p>Baruch College - not familiar
New School - not familiar.</p>
<p>Those numbers are relative to the other schools.</p>
<p>Columbia and NYU (stern) - 1
NYU (CAS) and Fordham - 2
St. Johns and Pace - 3</p>
<p>New School-more art-related than finance
Baruch-not familiar enough with to comment</p>
<p>Xeneise - Fordham and St. Johns are far from the same ranking..Fordham being much better. Fordham is on par with Baruch.</p>
