<p>it's closer to 70%, and that includes people double-majoring in something else in addition to finance. taken with the fact that 98% of kids get a job by three months after graduation, you don't have to major in finance in order to get a job. now whether the job is good or not is a different matter.</p>

<p>i know i'm not really adding to the conversation, but i think the number is closer to 30%. so NYU is 40% male, with 30% LGBT. but it may be good to know that stern is 57% guys.</p>

<p>Thanks for all your help, guys. I visited Pittsburgh, as I said; to be honest, I really couldn't see myself being there for the next four (or more) years, and I think that will be the deciding factor. I've grown rather fond of this area in the 12ish years that I've lived here. Plus, they don't have good bagels.</p>

<p>That's not the only reason, obviously. :P After doing a bit more research into finance (long overdue), it actually is looking more attractive (Yay for sounding like an opportunist!).</p>

<p>And do Sternies get internships during the school year? Although I guess I should ask the career center that or something...But if they do, then being in NYC is a big boon; even the CMU admissions officer told me that.</p>

<p>Oh well. Again, thanks to everyone who took the time to post. Both schools are amazing, and I'm just sad that I have to turn one down.</p>

<p>Yes, people at NYU can get internships in NYC easier than those going to school outside of the area. (makes sense, doesn't it).</p>

<p>Thanks deadlysyphen for the updates. Note that I'm not arguing against Stern, just pointing out that if the OP was planning to major in Production Managment or Marketing (instead of Finance or Accouting), she is likely to be disappointed by the lack of variety in courses. If you check my previous postings, you'll see that I rank Stern ahead of Wharton when it comes to undergraduate finance (and I get a lot of "heat" for that continuously from other posters). </p>

<p>Good luck, eternalsunshin3. It sounds like you've made your decision. (It's good to be able to choose between two excellent schools.)</p>

<p>i think production management is CMU all the way
i think that is what CMU's business program like was originally for</p>

<p>Hmm. Where would an old guy fit in better? Like a 35 year old b school student focusing on entrepreneural studies. anyone?</p>

<p>I think Tepper. I have lived in NY for six years working on Wall St. NYU? Hmmm</p>
