<p>Hi, I was admitted to Stern as a fresh. transfer. I'm just wondering how much prestige/name/marketability of NYU Stern holds in foreign countries...esp. in East Asia. I'm interested in landing a job in China, Japan, or Korea after graduation....before going to get MBA. BUT...I heard (from my family friends and whatnot) that the only schools that the companies know in Korea are the ivies, Stanford, and UC Berkeley. Is that true? How does the name NYU Stern stack up against the other top schools when trying to land a job in East Asia?? I would really like to know because it could determine whether I do transfer or stay. Thank you for all the info.</p>
<p>I have no idea about Stern or East Asia particularly, but my theory goes that anyone who's going to pay you a respectable sum in any field will know who/what they're hiring, and therefore should know schools better than the average street person.</p>
<p>For example, the average person hasn't heard of Harvey Mudd College or even Carnegie Mellon, but any recruiter in the tech industry should not only know about them, but know that they're really good schools.</p>
<p>Depends on who you apply to. While an American company based in china may know the value of Stern, a Chinese company may or may not. It is true that in China, only the ivies are looked up to.</p>
