<p>I love nyc and feel immensely the pulse of the business world. I’m puzzling what are the pros and cons in every aspect of choosing Stern of NYU vs Wharton? Any one can help?</p>
<p>whartonz amazing w/out doubt.
but stern is new york city..
im choosing between penn and nyu myself (for poly sci)
but cuz stern is stern... i would go for it...NYC!</p>
<p>dont JOKE like that man</p>
<p>WHARTON.</p>
<p>oh btw man, choose PENN for political SCIENCe. definitely!!!!!</p>
<p>What are the pros and cons of Stern comparing with Wharton and other business school? especially in turn of </p>
<p>1.the course content, design for practical work?
2.difficulty of the course,
3.campus life,
4.friendship among the fellow student,
5.quality of teaching,
6. job prospect?</p>
<p>"but cuz stern is stern... i would go for it...NYC!"</p>
<p>that's some terrible logic....
Only reason NYU is remotely close to Wharton in rankings is because no other ivy leagues have business schools at the undergraduate level. I think a good depiction of the divide between Stern and Wharton can be found by looking at graduate and MBA rankings, where other top schools have MBA programs: </p>
<p>-Financial Times MBA rankings Wharton (1st) vs Stern (7th)
-Business Week MBA rankings Wharton (3rd) vs Stern (13th)
-US News MBA Rankings Wharton (3rd) vs Stern (13th)</p>
<p>In business reputation is everything, and it's clear that Wharton has a superior reputation to NYU Stern, and a well deserved one at that.</p>
<p>Rankings aside, an interesting look is recruitment. Wharton has by far the best recruitment out of any school, post graduation. As far as salaries, according to wharton surveys, after 15 yrs average person (with just undergrad degree) is making ~350k a year, not bad eh?</p>
<p>Trust me, if you go to Wharton, chances are you'll end up in New York, one way or another.</p>
<p>dude, if u pick stern, u will be in classes where 99.9 percent are wharton rejects....</p>
<p>Wharton hands down. If you want to take trips to NYC, Penn is only a little more than an hour away. Don't turn down Wharton, if you know you want to do business.</p>
<p>This is not even a debate. Many recruiters in New York City don't even recruit at Stern- they go to Ivy Leagues including Wharton, the top liberal arts schools, Boston College, Georgetown.</p>
<p>is this some kind of joke...ur ACTUALLY deciding btwn wharton and stern. Duh! Wharton.</p>
<p>i thought this thread was a joke before reading the posts...lol wharton without a doubt :)</p>
<p>come on everybody, i know wharton is better than stern in name based, but go to college isn't everything for its name, it also about:</p>
<p>1.the course content, design for practical work?
2.difficulty of the course,
3.campus life,
4.friendship among the fellow student,
5.quality of teaching,
6. job prospect?</p>
<p>pls calm down and discuss point by point instead of just bragging.....
logic and evidences pls.</p>
<p>i would go to stern if I were you, it just seems like a better fit for you.</p>
<p>crazy4ivy, i think ppl already hinted at some of these, but i'll just organize them:</p>
<p>1.the course content, design for practical work?
2.difficulty of the course,
3.campus life,
4.friendship among the fellow student,
5.quality of teaching,
6. job prospect?</p>
<ol>
<li>both are really practical and intensive, suppose stern has the location advantage, but not a big one in any way</li>
<li>wharton, as i said, more intensive and competitive</li>
<li>wharton, nyu doesn't have a campus</li>
<li>wharton, network of whartonites can do more than network of stern(ians?); even though some backstabbing in wharton, but that happens in everywhere, so...</li>
<li>wharton, definitely world-renowned faculty.</li>
<li>wharton, wharton, wharton; i think someone above gave the stats for salary, and wharton undergrads will probably take away stern ppl's jobs at wall street, so yeah...</li>
</ol>
<p>Overall: wharton. (as expected)</p>
<p>One of the main reasons I didn't consider NYU AT ALL was because it lacked a unified campus. At NYU, the city makes the experience, not the college.</p>
<p>iv4me, you have your whole life to do NYC. College is only 4 years, and you're going. The city can make your experience any age from 22 to 92. You are essentially passing up one entirely different and fulfilling experience (collegiate americana) just to extend your time spent in NYC?</p>
<p>You're a biz guy, you know of the law of diminishing returns ;)</p>
<p>2 out of the 3 transfer students I know here came from NYU.</p>
<p>yeah...there seems to be a lot of NYU transfers at penn, i know a bunch that made the transfer</p>
<p>Really? I thought it was nearly impossible to tranfer into Wharton from another college unless you are amazingly super-human or something.</p>
<p>the NYU transfers could be going to Penn's other schools, which aren't much easier to get into as transfer.</p>
<p>Have any numbers to prove that, Johnny?</p>
<p>Stern students have a major advantage in the recruiting game in that they have opportunities to pursue highly sought after internships year round. If anything, they have more opportunities to hobnob with important people in all industries than Whartonites do, cuz they're already living in the heart of it all. </p>
<p>And to the poster who proclaimed Stern students to be 99.9% "Wharton rejects," to you I say BULL!!! I detest comments like this. If you'll forgive the generalization, t seems to me that Stern kids are more socially and academically independent, and by and large more down to earth than Wharton students (many of whom seem to arrive here with this great and undeserved sense of entitlement). If anything, I picked Wharton despite it's reputation because I really fell in love with PENN (grass is essential, as a suburban kid, for one). I never had any concerns whatsoever about the relative quality of these business educations because they are BOTH world class. </p>
<p>If you're doing finance, I suppose Wharton would be better by a hair. I am very biased though. It really is what you make of it...</p>
<p>In any case, it might be worthwhile to look more carefully at other aspects of these schools. Best of luck to you!</p>
