<p>So I'm really interested in a future career in investment banking/the financial district, but I'm also really drawn towards things like International Affairs and Politics (which is the reason I applied to Georgetown to begin with.)</p>
<p>However, right now I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I also got accepted to NYU Stern, so I know for a fact that if I choose there, I will have close to no problem getting into some job at Wall Street. But the main downside to NYU is that I won't have the traditional four-year undergraduate experience because of its campusor rather, lack of. Then again, I can't really ignore its #2 national ranking in Finance...</p>
<p>So now that I have Georgetown SFS on my plate, which has a better ranking (and I believe overall better college experience), I guess I'm most interested in knowing whether or not I should choose GU SFS or NYU Stern...</p>
<p>If you went to G’town and decided to switch to MSB, apparently Wall Street banks or whatever recruit heavily (from MSB) so you won’t be missing out on jobs by not doing NYU. Just go to the cheaper school.</p>
<p>If you want to go into investment banking Stern is the place to be. I know people at both and my friend at Stern has gotten wall street internships since his first year. I believe that while at Stern you can co-concentrate in international business or you could always take IR classes at CAS. As you said Stern is ranked 2nd for undergrad business and very well known for business as SFS is for IR. I have heard good things about the college experiences at both but I dont know much about the community at SFS. At Stern, however, I have heard the cohorts help facilitate a community feel and help to create a great 4-year experience. However, both are great schools.</p>
<p>The luxury with Stern is that you’re in NYC and have immediate access to financial institutions for internships. And as already mentioned, if you’re interested in IR, you can take IR courses or focus on International Business.</p>
<p>In regards to GU, MSB and SFS grads have been noted to land finance jobs in NYC after graduation. The draw-back to GU is that you’d only be able to intern for NYC firms during the summer. There are large firms in the DC area you may intern with, KPMG, Deloitte, etc.</p>
<p>Which ever you choose, both are great schools.</p>
<p>Georgetown has a very large alumni base on Wall St and in finance generally. NYU has no campus life and Manhattan is really not student friendly – it is very expensive and can be overwhleming. Frankly, Gtown has both an urban setting but with a distinct campus, allowing you to have a more traditional experience. I think there is no downside to Gtown, given your interests.</p>
<p>Wall street and NYC are full of bankers that went to schools other than nyu. Sfs is a very unique experience. Bottom line is it is easier to get a job on wall street than get an sfs degree. Look at the big picture. Sfs sends plenty of kids to wall street, london, singapore, hong kong, etcbut very few on wall street have an sfs education. This seems like a no brainer. Sfs winter and wall street and nyc in the summer and post graduation. Best of luck.</p>
