<p>Which one is better? I'm really confused because Businessweek puts Mendoza as number one, but USnews doesn't even mention it. Which one is more accredited in the business world?</p>
<p>sorry about the double post, but I wanted to specify that I’m looking to major in international business so I also want the chance to take classes in global relations.</p>
<p>Stern is much better than Mendoza</p>
<p>I am going to give you a suggestion that you can take as you wish: Forget both Stern and Mendoza. Check out Baruch College. It not only has equally strong connections to NY as Stern but is MUCH, MUCH less expensive, especially if you are a NY resident. In fact, in year two, you can become a NY resident with proper planning in year one if you are not an international student. Check out my posting about Baruch College found in this thread, which is just a few posts below this one.</p>
<p>^ Are you just going to post in every business thread that everyone should go to Baruch?</p>
<p>CFG53B, if going to Stern/Mendoza et. al. causes kids to incurr over 80K in debt, I will post it in a lot of threads just as a consideration. They don’t have to accept my suggestion,but they should think about it. $5,100 per year, with a potential for a full scholarship beats almost any other private school at full tuition just about any day. If you don’t get that than you don’t get it!</p>
<p>No one asked you about Baruch, so there’s no reason to inject it into the discussion. When someone asks about it, then you can bring up your opinion (which is just an opinion).</p>
<p>CFB53B, you are really testy today. Have you had your cup of coffee? Please note that I said it was “my suggestion.” I didn’t say fact. I didn’t say it was “god’s truth.” I did note it was my suggestion.</p>
<p>Hey taxguy, I just got into Wharton and Baruch RD, which do you think I should choose?</p>
<p>dfree124, I can’t answer that one for you. Are you paying full tuition for Wharton?Will you have to be indebted? If so, by how much? What will your major be at both Wharton and Baruch? If you got into Wharton, I am surprised you weren’t offered honors with a full ride.</p>
<p>Could you please not go off topic and help me?</p>
<p>I choose Stern over Mendoza. Yes, Mendoza is a very good school, but living in a NYC would be very priceless. But at the same time, some people dislike no-campus environment. If you are that type of person, don’t stress yourself. </p>
<p>However, if Mendoza offers me more aid/scholarship than Stern, I would just go to Mendoza. </p>
<p>Both very good school.</p>
<p>And as for CUNY, I rather have Stern/Mendoza name + $100,000 debt than just CUNY-Baruch name on my resume.</p>

<p>Response: LOL, It is your life. Good luck handling 100K of debt plus accrued interest. Also read the following thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1316670-60-still-not-out-student-loan-debt-seniors-facing-36-billion-loan-debt.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1316670-60-still-not-out-student-loan-debt-seniors-facing-36-billion-loan-debt.html</a></p>
<p>This will probably be you in 40 years!</p>
<p>What is the point of having NYU name on your resume along with a 150-200k debt? I would rather have a CUNY name on my resume and a 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn or Queens. Well, if you belong to a 1%, then it does not apply to you, but for most of us here, going to a cheaper school is better overall. For instance, lets say you will go to the NYU and graduate with an accounting degree. If you go into public or even private accounting, you will be offered the same salary as students from other schools would, but you will already have a mortgage (in this case a student loan) behind your back. In addition, CUNY is better known than Notre Dame abroad because of its name and the amount of alumni all around the world.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not to get too far into it, but if that NYU degree lands you a job in a BB bank and you’re making $200,000 per year (including bonuses), the education will more than pay for itself.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, it’s not.</p>
<p>^“No, it’s not.”</p>
<p>Yes it is. First of all, CUNY enrolls around 480,000 students, which is more than 46% of all students in NY, and is considered to be the largest urban university in the U.S. CUNY is one of the most (if not the most) diverse universities in the U.S., and has students from over 205 countries, which means that there are many international students. Since there are many international students, their countries, relatives, and friends are all familiar with CUNY. </p>
<p>While as Notre Dame has around 8,500 students enrolled. Do you see the difference now? Even Baruch has 13,500 students, and is ranked #2 in terms of diversity in the U.S. </p>
<p>"…but if that NYU degree lands you a job in a BB bank and you’re making $200,000 per year (including bonuses), the education will more than pay for itself."</p>
<p>BUT IF. In addition, nobody starts at a BB’s IB division with a 200k salary, even in NY. So, keep dreaming.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Have you ever been outside of the US? Notre Dame is more well known than CUNY. </p>
<p>And if we’re making an argument on size, University of Phoenix has over 500,000 students while MIT has 11,000. Which is better known internationally? </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There are 196 countries in the world. The UN recognizes 193 + Taiwan + Kosovo + Vatican City.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>$100,000 starting salary with over $100,000 in bonuses is over $200,000 per year, which is why my comment was “$200,000 per year (including bonuses)”.</p>
<p>It is a big question mark for students (high risk, high reward), which is why there’s no one right answer for any student. But clearly, there are cases where NYU makes more sense than CUNY or SUNY.</p>
<p>CFB53B notes, “which is why there’s no one right answer for any student.”</p>
<p>Response: You may be right, however, I do know that one wrong answer for almost everyone is to incur over 100K of debt for undergraduate studies! This is just plainly idiotic, not to mention can be outright dangerous for that student’s financial future.</p>
<p>Ok, I was wrong about the number of countries. It seems that Wiki has it wrong too. But I looked at other sources and figured out it was 167 countries that are present in CUNY. And yes, I’m actually from the middle East myself, and I have met a few Baruch alumni there. However, I have never heard of Notre Dame before I came here.</p>
<p>And again, I don’t know where do you get the salary info from, but from what I know First Year analysts make between 90-150k including bonuses, with an average of 125k. Even Third Year Analysts make on average 165k.</p>
<p>First of all, what makes you think that I will have s*** load of debt for another 40 years? Perhaps, I have family money/investment that I’ll get when I turn 30? Or I already own house, car, so I wouldn’t have to worry about extra expenses other than tuition?</p>
<p>Your response would be acceptable if Regretfulwoe mentioned about tuition. The fact is, he/she didn’t. I don’t understand why you are trolling around.</p>
