<p>I will major in economics and get accepted in NYU (CAS) and CMU. I hope to do i-banking if possible, so which school will better place me in the field is the major consideration. In CMU, the economics program belongs to Tepper School of Business and is also quite possible of switching major to business administration. But in NYU, though the location is good, CAS economics students seem to be placed at an significant disadvantage in terns of getting intern opportunities and finally landing the jobs.</p>

<p>So which one is better? How good is econ major student placed in CMU after graduation?</p>

<p>CMU's job network, reputation, and education is better than NYU CAS.</p>

<p>Also I hear its very difficult if not impossible to go from CAS to Stern whereas Econ to Tepper is possible and though not guaranteed, Tepper is equitable to Stern so just off that alone I would choose CMU.</p>
