<p>I am down to the last two schools before making a decision. Between the two, which one will be better in preparing me for an IB career?</p>
<p>Any input is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>umm, I doubt many people have even heard of Carroll and I doubt that there is any serious recruiting done at Carroll for IB....i may be wrong about my previous two claims, but im certain that recruiting at NYU CAS is far superior to recruiting in Carroll, especially for econ/math/comp sci majors etc
I'd pick NYU CAS without any hesitation if i were you</p>
<p>Thank you quag_mire.</p>
<p>Actually Carroll is BC's business school and its undergrad finance program is ranked about 13 or 14 at both the USN and BW.</p>
<p>I made a mistake by not applying to Stern and thus the dilemma.</p>
<p>oh my bad lol...i googled carroll university and came across some college called carroll lol...didn't realize that it was BC's business school....</p>
<p>Actually BC Carroll is quite well recruited for IB

<p>But i dunno anything about recruiting at NYU CAS so i ant help you there.</p>
<p>can some1 find cas stats? :D</p>
<p>Thank you aj16.</p>
<p>That sure helps.</p>
<p>Anyone has similar stats for NYU CAS?</p>
<p>I really need to make a decision tonight.</p>
<p>Anyone Knows about NYU CAS grad placement in IB? Please chime in.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Sorry, i'm finding it incredibly hard to find CAS stats. I dont think they would release them so I dunno if anyone knows them. Although BC Carroll has a nice profile on businessweek that might help.
Boston</a> College : Undergraduate Profile – BusinessWeek</p>
<p>im in nyu and will be studying econ + philosophy (i recommend that cas students interested in ib study something only econ).. so maybe i can shed some light onto this topic</p>
<p>as long as your gpa is solid there are no advantages that stern students have over cas students.. (solid is around 3.5+) job postings are open to everyone at nyu
firm such as gs and citi come to campus and explain that they welcome cas students and often prefer people who don't study business..
i know a bunch cas students that went into ib</p>
<p>i can't speak about bc's b-school, so i won't.. but remember the benefit of going to nyu is the ability to do internships during the year.. there are so many smaller firms that don't necessarily formally recruit, but still offer internships.. trust me, this really gives you a leg up when formal bb recruiting comes around</p>
<p>overall, nyu as a name has a stronger rep. than bc especially in nyc
that said, either school will open a lot of doors for you particularly if you do well + get involved</p>

<p>The above statistics are useless for your purposes. Why? Because they do not say what roles students were hired into. My guess is that the majority went into back office roles (data entry, trade settlement, etc). And even if you are in the back office at Morgan Stanley, you are not actually a banker and opportunities in the future will reflect that fact. Places like Baruch College are also recruited by all the top IBs -- for back office positions. Back office is not competitive at all really to get a job, and this is reflected in the salary level for back office work. Many of these functions are now done in India actually. Demand more from Carroll's careers service; demand to see how many of these people were actually hired for front office positions.</p>
<p>IMO you are far better off with the world class econ program at NYU.</p>
<p>Thank you both, mikeBtams and nauru, your comments definitely help! </p>
<p>Actually I am still undecided at this point but that I will have to make a decision soon (either before the mail cut-off time(for NYU) or midnight(on line for BC).</p>
<p>Thank you aj16 too, still wondering....</p>
<p>there are resources that only stern kids get. we definitely get preferential treatment</p>
<p>like what (over cas)</p>
<p>I finally decided to enroll at NYU CAS. Just sent in my deposit and reply form.
Hopefully everything will work out!</p>
<p>how much harder is Stern to get in (whether it be stern econ or finance)
than CAS?</p>
<p>Stern's acceptance rate this year was 14%, while the overall acceptance rate for NYU was 24%....so the acceptance rate for CAS will be somewhere in the middle....lets assume it's somewhere halfway between those 2 numbers...that will give you an approximately 19-20% acceptance rate for CAS...</p>
<p>transferring from CAS into Stern is not a easy way into Stern. It is not guaranteed and I heard it is competitive and hard as hell.</p>
<p>for some people, it's a potential option. if someone slacked off in high school, he/she might not be able to get into Stern. The person could then apply to CAS and resolve and to work harder. It's difficult, but not impossible to transfer. Just make sure to take business classes and work really hard to get a 3.8-4.0. </p>
<p>It's better in some cases because you don't have to worry about the stern curve freshman year and you don't have to take the second required writing class.</p>
