NYU, Cornell, or Columbia for upper-end Wall Street Jobs?

<p>In terms of opportunities for iBanking jobs, trading positions, etc., which has the best—I use this word loosely—for recruitment?</p>

<p>In addition, what effect would choosing a concentration (not a major!) in or minoring in a language have on future opportunities in such areas?</p>

<p>Ivy is obviously going to have a prestige leg up, though NYU’s location is advantageous. All three will do you fine (so long as you can pay for NYU, at least). Pick the school you WANT to attend instead of getting worried about miniscule differences in opportunity between elite schools.</p>

<p>Language study is useful for virtually anyone. It’s one more ability you bring to a company, especially if it’s Spanish or Chinese.</p>

<p>Columbia > Nyu Stern = Cornell Aem > Cornell > Nyu</p>

<p>Some people think Stern is better, some AEM (lot of discussion on this if you google it).</p>

<p>Actually sour, IBanks do not differentiate between Cornell AEM and Cornell at larger as they do between Stern and NYU, Ross and Michigan and even between Wharton and Penn. That’s because the AEM program is new and not as highly rated as Wharton, Ross or Stern.</p>

<p>Where IBanks are concerned, I would say Columbia = Cornell = Stern > NYU.</p>

<p>The general consensus is that these schools cannot offer what HYPMS does, though, right?</p>

<p>columbia, by far. also, banks love guys coming out of the engineering school that can actually have a conversation. similiar to wharton’s m&t program. </p>

<p>3.5+ from the engineering school and you’ll be drowning in offers.</p>

<p>also consider econ at Dartmouth.</p>

<p>I couldn’t get in there… ^^ They’re almost as bad as HYP for admissions.</p>

<p>IDCMineLife, Dartmouth is no more selective than Columbia, Penn or Cornell CAS/Engineering.</p>

<p>Dartmouth loves vals too much.</p>
