<p>I have a hard decision to make between these two. </p>
<p>Both gave me a bit of $$, making the cost of attending almost the same.</p>
<p>Which should I pick?</p>
<p>I intend to major in either Econ or political science.
I live in Maryland. There is like 2 days left before May 1st.</p>
<p>What would you guys choose?</p>
<p>I’m a chem/pre-med major and chose NYU over michigan, i knew michigan has much better academic reputation, but wanted to live in the CITY (i’m currently in pretty small town), so what i suggest is that think about where youd be happier not just their academic reputation in economics and pol-sciences</p>
<p>if you are independent, love city, art, music performances NYU
if you need a real college life (frat, football, school spirit, etc) Michigan</p>
<p>The two schools are fairly close in rankings in numerous fields. The two schools are very different in atmosphere so that should be a large enough factor to make your decision.</p>
<p>is it true though NYU has more internship opportunities?</p>
<p>yeah definitely</p>
<p>FYI: A copy of what I posted on Umich board.</p>
<p>Yeah, I feel Ross gives you like two chances: One as pre-admit (takes 105), then transfer (admits another 305). Last year only, 700 applied for Ross transfer 300 got in. I have a feeling that they snap a lot of the competitive kids out of LSA interested in business, lol. Well if i can make it into Ross that’s great, but then again I can become one of the renaming 400+ kids.</p>
<p>NYU doesn’t allow you to even apply for 2 schools as freshman, you pick either CAS or Stern. Also later it does not encourage transfer to Stern (hate that!). Thus Stern doesn’t get too many bright kids from CAS econ, lol. Every year there are only tens students apply for transfer to Stern from CAS, not hundreds. I like to get transferred. But if not, I don’t feel so much like in a support school for the B-school.</p>
<p>The class size also makes a difference:
UMich econ class: 1050 vs Ross 410
NYU econ class: 370 vs Stern 550</p>
<p>Too big of a clss can make job opportunity % drop.</p>
<p>Lastly, when I called yesterday, UMich told me that I cannot take Ross courses but Ross can take econ courses. That, if true, hurts. NYU Econ kids can and must take Stern courses, and they can even minor in Finance (by Stern).</p>
<p>That is all I found yesterday before mailing the $800 deposit. What a busy day it was!</p>
<p>I made a mistake of not applying for Ross pre-admit. At this point, I can only analyze based on what I got: Econ major, and do some risk analysis.</p>
<p>Thanks again for everyone’s opinions. Hope these discussions also help future readers.</p>
<p>Wait, you can minor in finance at NYU?</p>
<p>@AoDay</p>
<p>I don’t think so. . .</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant Econ major, Business minor not finance minor.</p>
