Stanford vs. Harvard vs. NYU-BPE -- HELP!

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University
1

<p>So I only applied to three schools and I got into all three. Time's running out to decide on which one to attend. I am interested in majoring in international relations with hopes of working on African development projects for French-based non-profits (I'm from the Seychelles).</p>

<p>I have not had the opportunity to visit any of the schools. :( But up until now, I've been leaning toward Stanford. I've heard nothing but good things about the entrepreneurial spirit. In addition, the chance to take PoliSci classes taught by Condoleezza Rice is simply unparalleled. As for NYU-BPE, the program is extremely alluring because I would be exposed to business leaders in the UK and China. Also, I would have a close-knit group of ~50 cohorts. When it comes to Harvard, however, I am very uninformed about how they can meet my goals.</p>

<p>Any insights on which way to go?</p>

<p>Stanford. Really this should only be between Harvard and Standford. Stern, while it is an amazing program and business school, is not comparable to Stanford and Harvard.</p>

<p>I would say Standford as well. You are already familiar with it.</p>

4

<p>. . .did two people just make the same typo? ~twilight zone~</p>

<p>Still say Stanford.</p>

<p>hahaha, it took me a few moments to find it, but yeah…</p>

<p>We can switch places, and I can go to Stanford. :D</p>
