I have been waitlisted at NYU Stern and will hopefully/probably get into their CAS on their second consideration RSVP. I have been accepted by Boston College. If I want to study economics and eventually enter the financial sector when I graduate, which would be better - Boston College CAS Economics or NYU CAS Economics?
Is any other aspect of college important?
NYU CAS Econ is one of the best Econ departments in the country (have heard multiple times that the Econ department is better than Sterns). I would go there. Plus you get to do internships and network in the city for 4 years which will help you immensely. when it comes to actually find a job in finance.
NYU is one of the best schools in the country at placing students in the finance jobs so this should be an obvious choice for you.
