NYU Stern vs. Columbia HELP!

<p>At Stern you have 38 credits for electives. I know a lot of people who are majoring in finance and minoring in math. A minor in math is four 4 credit courses I believe, you could easily double major and minor in math since all stern majors require only 12 credits. You could minor in business entertainment or something like that. It doesn’t seem as though you are really focused on the whole corporate aspect of business. I’m not sure how Columbia’s theater or arts are, but obviously NYU has Tisch. There are a few joint ventures between Stern and Tisch through clubs and events so that might be attractive to you.</p>

<p>I think you can double major in marketing and math and minor in production or major in marketing and minor in math and production. If you want all of them: marketing, math, production and EMT then I don’t know. But you could always contact them or finish a minor faster or something. I intend to transfer to NYU and I’m in a similar dilemma, i want to take all: finance, philosophy, production and emt minor.</p>

<p>One of my best friends here (current freshman) chose Stern over Columbia SEAS and he doesn’t regret it at all, if that’s any help.</p>

You’re right. I want to study marketing because it allowed some degree of creativity in the business world, which does interest me. </p>

I was told at an admissions event that you can only do a combination of 3 majors and minors…I’m not sure if there are exceptions to that. I might not worry about minoring in EMT because it can be my marketing concentration if I so choose.</p>

For engineering? or what major?</p>

<p>If you are down to earth, go to Stern.
If you are about the name or the prestige, go to Columbia.</p>

<p>Honestly, NYU Stern has quite a bit of prestige also…it’s basically ivy league level (if not better in some cases) in terms of business schools.</p>

<p>I’m not really putting too much emphasis on prestige. I just like the school in and of themselves.
I feel like right now I’m leaning toward NYU.</p>

<p>As a NON-parial bystander.</p>

<p>I HIGHLY suggest you go to Columbia. Personally, I didn’t like NYU. It was just…terrible. Columbia is where its at.
Go there. This shouldn’t even be a competition, really.</p>

<p>That description kind of opposes that of a “non-partial” bystander lol.</p>

Any specific reasons why you didn’t like it? I can’t determine how legit your claim it…
It’s not exactly “non-partial” as AoDay said.</p>
