<p>Hey, guys. I got accepted in UMich LSA econ as a Chinese transfer student. And I just can't wait to hear from NYU CAS econ any longer and I wanna make a decision in advance.</p>
<p>I know they are tied in econ department and either way if I work hard, it will turn out pretty well. But I notice many Chinese students got accepted into UMich LSA econ as transfers this year (perhaps as usual) and I will have to compete with all of them and also other econ students after graduation. And I won't work or intern in Michigan, so still, full of competition. I know the alumni network in umich is excellent but I think it will be less helpful if the internship or job is not near the school.</p>
<p>As for NYU, Umich might have an edge over NYU in alumni network, prestige, rankings, etc.(at least as far as I know) But jobs and interns are just outside the door(in NYC), with that advantage, I think perhaps it will be easy for me to get interns and even future job through some friends I know. And if so, the prestige, rankings, faculty won't even make me better off, at all. Because I think connections are a crucial element for a student who major in B-school or econ. Am I right here? Do econ students oftern find internships or even future jobs through connections(which I think is another kind of ability)?</p>
<p>I don't care much about the campus life or the class size, etc. I'm more of career-oriented. So how should I choose? What do you think guys, in an objective way(discard the fact that u r from NYU)? THX. </p>
