<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a New York State resident deciding between Stern and pre-admit at Ross. This decision is very difficult, does anyone have any input? I am thinking of doing a double major in finance and management.</p>
<p>At Ross, there is no such thing as majoring in finance or management. You get to "concentrate" in those areas because you are getting a BBA degree.</p>
<p>Costs about the same?</p>
<p>Do you want to go away to college?
Do you like a college town with college sport spirit or being in the heart of one of the most dynamic cities in the world?</p>
<p>to be honest i love both because each has its own pros and cons, now i was wondering are the job opportunities coming out of ross the same for stern, with regards to a finance position in banking?</p>
<p>Both are good for placement. NYU may be a little easier since you're a stones throw to Wall Street.</p>
<p>ross' finance program is number four, which is pretty solid on top of an amazing management program. If i'm not one hundred percent sure of going into finance, is stern the right choice?</p>
<p>Michigan/Ross is more well rounded than Stern, IMO. </p>
<p>If you're deadset on working in finance for a bank in NYC, Stern is the obvious choice.</p>
<p>If you have any doubts about finance, I would choose Ross.</p>
<p>I recommend Ross over Stern, even if you want to go into IBanking. Michigan is a more complete university and Ross and Stern are roughly equal in terms Finance education and placement, but it has a broader appeal overall, particularly among Management Consulting firm and high tech firms out West. The new Ross building is awesome, so that really tips the scale in ross' favor. The only way I would recommend Stern over Ross is if you really do not want to be part of a college community.</p>
<p>This is true, but I want to work in a bank in new york city. Is it a better idea to go to stern instead?</p>
<p>Yeah, so does everyone else at Stern. Its pretty competive to get a great internship going to Stern, while at Ross its a TAD less (but not much). I think UMich is better for all the reasons Alexandre said- better college atmosphere, great school spirit, great athletics, one of the most well rounded schools in the country. hypothetically, if you dont end up wanting to work at a bank, then UMich offers so much more than NYU.</p>
<p>chocochip, I am not going to repeat myself, but I will provide you with data instead. You can draw your own conclusions:</p>

<p>As you drool over those figures, do try and remember that the MAJORITY of Ross students aren't interested in working for IBanks on Wall Street. Also remember that Ross only has 350 students per class, as opposed to over 500 per class at Stern.</p>
<p>thanks for all your help i really do appreciate it. my final question is, will it matter that i won't be able to get internships during the year at Ross as opposed to Stern where it is more likely to find one?</p>
