<p>So I have by tomorrow to decide because I have to send everything in before I leave for Australia on Monday for the summer...
So I posted this somewhere else but didn't get much response...
I currently attend Barnard and hated it first semester. I now have met a group of friends, but still do not like the idea of graduating from a womens college. I know I want to go into business, would I be taking a step down by transferring to Stern (I've already been accepted)? I love downtown and NYU, I just don't want to mess it up and try and fix something that's not broken.</p>
<p>Additionally, most of my friends are rising seniors, so I don't really want to make my decision based on a group of people who will leave me up in Harlem by myself after next year anyways</p>
<p>Also, is it harder to get into prestigious MBA programs coming from undergraduate business schools?</p>
<p>I have alot to think about...any input on Barnard or Stern would be great!</p>
<p>Stern is going to offer much better opportunities for business than Barnard. It’s considered to be a target school for investment banking and management consulting. Stern certainly isn’t a step down; it’s quite the opposite. </p>
<p>MBA programs (as far as I understand) care much more about work experience than undergraduate major. Stern will give you that better work experience.</p>
<p>Thank you for your response…as of now I’m heavily leaning towards Stern. It’s just sort of scary to leave all my friends and start over for a second time (Even though I’ll still be in the city), it’s just a way different school environment.</p>
<p>Yeah, those ARE two very different school environments. If I were you I would make sure I would be able to handle the NYU atmosphere - you would be going to the comfort of a campus and sense of community to…NYU. Not to say it’s a bad thing - many people enjoy it, it’s just not right for some people.</p>
<p>If you hated Barnard, that’s a legit reason to transfer, do what’s best for you! NYU is better for business so anyways it’s better for your major.</p>
<p>Ya it’s not the environment I’m hesitant about. I truly love everything about NYU. It’s really just about starting over and being unsure
Thanks for your response, if anyone has any input on Stern don’t hesitate!</p>
