<p>I think the question is implicit from the title. I am looking to transfer into Brown University from NYU in one or two years since it has been a long term goal of mine. I was accepted as a Finance major in NYU, but decided to do Economics instead, and study for the Actuarial Science tests by myself to eventually become an Actuarial Scientist. I just wanted to know if it is better for me to stay at NYU which has one of the best economic departments in the nation, or go to a more prestigious university like Brown which isn't ranked at all in undergraduate economics according to US News. I feel really confused right now because I need to know:</p>
<p>1) Which university is more worldly renown? ( Brown or NYU, especially in the middle east, like Dubai, Qatar, or Kuwait)
2) What name will look better on a transcript an employer is looking at?
3) After graduating as an undergraduate, which school will look better when i am applying for various graduate schools?</p>
<p>Thank you guys so much, ever since I went to the Spark program at Brown in 7th grade, I always knew what the perfect university for me was, however my grades in high school were not high enough to go to Brown, so I applied and was accepted this year into NYU ED.</p>
