NYU vs Northwestern!

<p>Hey guys I know you are a bunch of smart motherfookas I would appreciate some help with this decision.</p>

<p>I've narrowed down my ED schools to Northwestern and NYU Stern. After reviewing past acceptances from my school and discussing with my counselors I have around a 75% chance for NU and 40% (maybe a bit less) chance for Stern. I most likely won't be receiving financial aid from either school. I plan on going into finance.</p>

<p>If I don't get accepted into Stern I will probably end up attending UMich/UVa or the like and transfer after freshman year.</p>

<p>Would you take the risk with Stern or play it safe with Northwestern? Also does anyone know what NU's ocr for finance is like?</p>

<p>Hi, I noticed you were applying to Stern at NYU and then also Northwestern. I just wanted to make sure you were aware that NU does not have any undergraduate business majors or course offerings.</p>

<p>apparently theres an mmss program and some other certification offered for undergrads?</p>

<p>nyu is better</p>

<p>OP</p>

<p>I guess to start --</p>

<p>I haven’t seen your stats (and am not an admissions counsellor) but given the way things there are not very many students who would be a 75% chance at NU under any circumstances. However, as you’ve been advised by professionals, there’s no more for me to say about this.</p>

<p>More importantly, I’m not sure how one would choose those two schools as your ED choices. Both are truly excellent and one could choose either for ED. However, Stern is obviously a business school and NU does not offer business as an undergraduate major option (though they have an excellent certificate program). So, if you want to be a business major – I wouldn’t recommend NU for ED. Similarly, if you’re not sure that you want undergraduate business, I wouldn’t recommend NYU-Stern for ED.</p>

<p>Add to this the fact that NU is a campus school, and NYU is very Urban – so the schools have good feels.</p>

<p>Finally – I universally recommenf that you reserve ED for a school that is your first choice (and that you can afford). From what you’ve written, it sounds you can afford either but your first choice is Stern. </p>

<p>Though I love NU as an institution and if it were ME, I’d say NU in a heartbeat. Based on what you’ve written, if you were my child I’d recommend you apply to Stern.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help guyz</p>
