Rank the following schools

College Majors Business Major

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I have applied to the following schools, and assuming the best case scenario where I get into all of them for their respective courses, how would you rank them in terms of the following criterion:</p>

<ul>
<li>Top BB firm recruiting</li>
<li>Student experience</li>
<li>Salary (I know this may be similar but in some cases there might be differences of over 15k an year)</li>
<li>Ease of transition into investment banking afterwards</li>
</ul>

<p>The schools I have applied to:</p>

<ul>
<li>Ross School of Business (Michigan) - I have already been accepted and been offered a dual degree (LSA Honors Economics and BBA from Ross)</li>
<li>Yale Economics</li>
<li>Princeton Economics</li>
<li>Stanford Economics</li>
<li>NYU Stern Business</li>
<li>Columbia Economics</li>
<li>University of Chicago Economics</li>
</ul>

<p>Thank you very much</p>

<p>Columbia if you want to work in NYC. Chicago if your want to work in Chicago. Stanford if you are interested in Cali. </p>

<p>All of these schools can get you into banking, but the schools in a metro area will allow you more internship opportunity. NYU Stern kids do internships during the school year because they are so close to these positions. </p>

<p>How come Wharton isn’t on your list?</p>

<p>I didn’t get in there. :frowning:
Would you say a single degree from the other schools would be better than a dual degree at Ross, with Honors, or vice versa?</p>

<p>The director of equities at my previous BB serves as an adjunct professor of Economics at Columbia’s business school. Talk about good connections.</p>

<p>Banking is not about dual degrees. It is about school brand and GPA. No sense killing yourself with two degrees. Go to Columbia, intern during the year, get above a 3.5 and enjoy making bank.</p>

6

<p>Agree with MSFH. </p>

<p>If not columbia, then AT LEAST go to Stern. The city provides excellent internship opportunities that you would otherwise not get.</p>

<p>Well, my family resides in Hong Kong, so I plan on visiting them during my holidays and doing internships there. Would that eliminate the factor of studying in NY?</p>

8

<p>You will get top BB firms recruiting at Ross, plus have an excellent college experience.</p>

<p>I am thinking that a dual degree of Economics and Business is somewhat redundant. What do you think would be a better major option (can’t do engineering because that is a separate school), in combination with business?</p>
