<p>what is the reputation for stern.. finance is rlly good.. but is stern not as good due to nyu as a whole.. if not wharton is stern the best option for investment banking on wall st.. idk why but i feel like stern is overrated in the eyes of some people and i wanted to go into investment banking i would be better off at duke or dartmouth.. schools that might not have undergrad business but still are very well represented on wall st.. is stern rlly on the same tier..</p>
<p>like:
harvard wharton princeton</p>
<p>then
stern is on that next tier </p>
<p>this is just for undergrad investment banking recruitment purposes.</p>
<p>Stern is definitely on that same tier for undergrad at least, especially in the world of finance. In the world of Finance, Stern is second only to Wharton.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in rankings, businessweek.com lists NYU Stern at 15 in undergraduate business schools and US News World Report lists them at 5.</p>
<p>Being in Greenwich Village and so close to wall street is another major plus.</p>
<p>I know kids who have gotten investment banking internships/jobs who graduated from Stern. It’s good enough to get your resume considered. Whether you get the job or not doesn’t depend on the school. It depends on you.</p>
<p>Wharton is on a tier of its own for finance recruiting and Stern and Harvard come close but not enough to match Wharton. The difference between Wharton and Stern @ least for finance is that a larger # of top Wharton students will go straight to the buy side from Wharton (~20-25 per year) where as at Stern the number will be lower (~10-15).</p>
<p>And those #s at Stern will be more because of the students who networked while they were in the city and sought those jobs out for themselves rather than from the ocr process although there are some opportunities (buy side investment shops, top asset managers, HFs rather than PE) and they are increasing each year. Stern’s main strength in finance is front office positions such as IBD, S&T, ER, AM which it places lights out for all over Wall Street. </p>
<p>hmm harvard and stern on the same tier… doubtful in my eyes…
i looked through your posts it seems that you are a stern student…
a little bias or nah?</p>
<p>For placement in finance absolutely - Stern’s placement is really unbelievable. Yes I am a Stern student but I know how to get job placement information - & it really confirms that you would have to go to Wharton to have the opportunity of placing slightly better than Stern or Harvard. You could make the argument that I’m biased because I’m a Stern student, but my claims come from the numbers at all the firms undergrads are vying for after graduation. Next tier I would say is Duke, Dartmouth, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Yale, Ross, UVA, GTown, Hass - All of these relatively place the same with maybe a very marginal edge to GTown & Ross. </p>
<p>yes i know that it is rlly good but i want to know how it compares to the ivies in terms of recruitment… going to bschool doesnt matter that much in all honesty from what i hear… one doesnt have to go to bschool to get an ibanking job… someone from columbia or yale or something may very well have a better shot at that job than someone from stern</p>
<p>bit overated imo, its good but not worth the 61k price tag (incl. housing). i’d put it around 6th in the US. Michigan, Haas, UVa, Wharton, MIT Sloan are all better overall.</p>
<p>i guess some of those might be better overall… but for ibanking it is mostly about finance from what i have heard and stern is better than all of those excluding wharton and maybe on par with sloan…</p>
