<p>I have a question. I know Stern is a finance powerhouse, and therefore, probably the majority of the kids go into banking/finance-related fields. </p>
<p>How about management and consulting? I'm curious because NYU isn't one of the "core" schools that any of the top six consulting firms recruit at. Does Stern mean finance and that is about all you can get out of Stern? Obviously the consulting firms recruit at Haas, Ross, Wharton...it just seems like Stern is left out. Feedbacks appreciated.</p>
<p>bump. I would like to know this too. I am a Stern freshman who'd like to know explore the field of m. consulting.</p>
<p>thanks for comments.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the top management consulting firms generally do not recruit from Stern. There are several reasons for this, but the most significant are that Stern students are generally considered to be very poor analytical thinkers who do not have good presentation skills - two things needed for consulting (Stern students tend to be more of the "number-crunching" type). Keep in mind, however, that this is just from what I have heard from my internship at a m. consulting firm - it may very well not be entirely correct.</p>
<p>This does not mean, though, that you cannot get a job in m. consulting from Stern. NYU in general is an excellent school and if you can prove to the recruiters that you have the skills they look for in candidates, you should not have too much of a problem.</p>

<p>And you call me pompous. You get into Wharton, so now you look down and denigrate other schools. Well you know what they say about consultants. They ask to look at your watch so they can tell you what time it is. Lol. </p>
<p>Talk about cookie-cutter mentally, they go from the hot buzzword of the moment, to the next so they can try and reinvent themselves to keep selling their serivices.</p>

<p>hey man. I am a Sternie, and North Dakota's comment has a point. I was told many times that Stern is often considered as a banker-powerhouse by many business institution, and I wanted to verify how much truth was into that statement.
I don't think his statement automatically degrades Stern as an umimpressive second tier business school.</p>
