<p>Hi I am a resident of San Diego and got into UCLA and Stern. I plan on majoring in finance at Stern and hope to go into investment banking. I would major in econ at UCLA. Considering cost as a major factor are the debts worth it for Stern? How is Stern looked upon in the Investment Banking world?</p>
<p>Stern is one of the top feeders into the investment banking industry, and there are few places better to go to school than Stern if that is the field you want to pursue. If cost is a major factor, then I wouldn’t be so quick to jump the gun. UCLA is a top notch school as well though, and as a state resident I would pick UCLA over NYU.</p>
<p>What about UT Austin McCombs (I am a Texas resident) vs. NYU Stern? Also, what if one wants to pursue a business career that isn’t in finance or investment banking?</p>
<p>I’ve done research on McCombs vs. Stern, but I wanted to see the most recent opinions.</p>
<p>McCombs is a great business school as well, I applied there. I would go to McCombs instead of Stern if you are in-state. The price difference is just too big to accept for an undergraduate education, although I guess it all depends on your financial situation. What were you thinking of majoring in anyway?</p>
<p>Information systems, and minoring in computer science maybe.</p>
<p>I hear that McCombs is only worth it if you got into BHP though, as most 90% of recruiters look at BHP students, and the students at McCombs are very spread out in terms of intelligence.</p>
