<p>yeah but you can't compare nyu stern students to nyu students in general
nyu stern has a 14% acceptance rate this year making it alot more competitive to get in than Berkeley</p>
<p>employment has to do alot with geographic location
if you like the west , go to Cal
if you like the east, go to nyu</p>
<p>depends, if u want consulting, o with Haas. if u want finance, go wit stern</p>
<p>stern does not have less motivated students. if anything, it should be berkeley bc a lot of in state students can get in, pulling the stats down. while being a ny resident doesnt help much for nyu</p>

i scoff at the idea that nyu gives you better job security, where the hell did you come up with that? finally, berkeley always ranks higher in business school rankings, at both the grad and undergrad leve, so you can take that for what its worth

+1. It's obvious that there is no job security in business especially if you're strictly into financials. If you want job security you're going to have to look at an industry that is relatively stable compared to ibanks, etc.
All those schools are good, but I'd still consider my top choices to be Harvard, Stanford, MIT Sloan, and UPenn Wharton.</p>
<p>would it be better to get a degree in applied mathematics and economics at georgia tech or a degree at emory in finance and business management?
What about finance and economics at georgia tech?</p>
<p>emory would be alot more expensive for me but i heard it is worth it.</p>
<p>"Berkeley, NYU has lower admission standards and probably less motivated students."</p>
<p>You clearly know nothing about Stern, your potential peers at Stern, the competition at Stern and the Stern Curve. Trusting purely US News is not your best option! I looked at rankings too when i applied to college, but face it: they're done from peer schools. </p>
<p>Moreover, if you go to stern you will be seen as more attractive for off-cycle internships. you could go to school and intern at large companies. You could even visit companies when they have exclusive gatherings for Stern students. It definitely helps to be local. Even Wharton doesn't offer that kind of opportunities.</p>
<p>CNI: you're right, Stern is extremely cutthroat and surprisingly enough, there are also those Sternies that never wanted to go to Wharton because they preferred the practicality of NYC. </p>
<p>Good luck w/ w/e you choose! It depends a lot on what kind of undergraduate experience you want and what your future goals are. As many said, Wall St = Stern.</p>
<p>get a real education. B-school is a waste of life.</p>
