My goal is to get a job in New York, hopefully on the Wall Street scene. I figure going to school in new york would give me an edge, and also i love this city.
Which school would be more advantageous in getting a good NYC job following graduation, NYU Tisch for economics (probably can’t get into Stern) or Fordham Gabelli for Finance? Other school suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Which school do YOU prefer? They are pretty different schools (secular v Jesuit, no real campus v defined campus etc.). And what do YOU want to study? Economics and finance are different paths. One is not better or worse than the other but they are quite different. Economics is a liberal arts course of study and gets theoretical at the higher levels. Finances will be in a b-school program. As part of a b-school you will take a core curriculum covering a number of business disciplines (ex. finance, accounting, MIS, management etc.) and then major in one of those areas.
I honestly like both school @happy1 I could see myself enjoying myself at either. I’m not entirely sure what to study, but I know I want it to be something that will prepare me for a new york job at a location known for creating new york jobs. Which one do you think would be better?
I thought Tisch is for creative people.
I’d say Columbia and Stern have higher hand in Investment Banking, other schools are more less equal.
Wall Street has a lot of other jobs and companies come in large and small. If you are ONLY interested in High End investment banking, then the above two schools have and advantage.
Lots of jobs in NYC for CUNY grads. Check it out
I don’t think I can get into those schools with their incredibly low acceptance rates. Any other options that might be able to put me on the block? @artloversplus
Tisch?? Wall Street???
What are your parents saying about paying for college?
What is your home state?
How much time have you spent in NYC?
What about a NY public?
New Jersey for 17 years. I know my New York too.
Honestly I don’t know much about Tisch, probably explains why I asked lol.
Price isn’t really a factor for me.

I’m a junior looking to apply to Fordham next year. I have a 4.07 GPA and a 32 ACT, along with pretty good EC’s and all that other stuff.
Can anyone tell me if Fordham is generous in terms of money for students and how much I could expect to get from this school?
[/QUOTE]
Did you suddenly come into a lot of money? Who will be paying for your college???
What about Pace? It’s located in lower Manhattan and has a high acceptance rate.
@mom2collegekids it’s always good to have scholarships, but this is pretty beside the point. i’m asking where i can expect to find good jobs post-grad in theory.
also i meant NYU school of arts and sciences, not tisch. I don’t really know much.
Tisch is probably harder to get into than Stern… and it’s for performing arts. I can’t think of any investment banking firms that frequently hire cinematographers.
@usualhopeful my mistake. I meant NYU College of Arts and Sciences. I didn’t know there was a difference.

You can get good jobs after graduating from many, many schools.
The money issue isn’t besides the point.
Are your parents saying that THEY will pay $70k per year for NYU or similar schools???
@mom2collegekids money is not an issue
@mom2collegekids my question is which school, Fordham Gabelli or NYU CAS, puts more kids into wall street jobs?? nothing else…
The thing is that your posting history suggests money really is an issue. Now we’re concerned and nothing you’ve said really indicates that out concerns are not legitimate.
If money is not an issue, NYU has a seat for you!
@usualhopeful all i want to know is which one is better for wall street/new york jobs. that is all.
If all you concerned about is placement, then contact the career offices at both schools and ask them how many kids get jobs on Wall Street. They know more than anyone posting here.
