UChicago vs NYU Stern

College Search & Selection

<p>Actually, in terms of general employment outcomes, the top schools are all quite similar:</p>

<p>UChicago: <a href=“Post-College Outcomes | CareerAdv”>https://careeradvancement.uchicago.edu/about/outcomes-data&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Brown: <a href=“http://www.brown.edu/campus-life/support/careerlab/class-2013-immediate-postgraduate-plans”>http://www.brown.edu/campus-life/support/careerlab/class-2013-immediate-postgraduate-plans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Dartmouth: <a href=“http://www.dartmouth.edu/~csrc/docs/12stats.pdf”>Center for Professional Development;

<p>Penn (CAS): <a href=“http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/files/2013CASFinalReport.pdf”>http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/files/2013CASFinalReport.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>At all these schools, roughly 30% of the class goes into finance/consulting. I imagine, though, that Penn, Dartmouth, and Brown are VASTLY more NYC-centric, so the bulk of their 200-300 future bankers/consultants a year head to NYC. At Chicago, I imagine many more stay in the city of Chicago.</p>

<p>Of note, the biggest difference between Chicago and the rest of these schools is that, at Chicago, significantly more students show an interest in the PhD (about 30-40% of those going to grad school at Chicago choose the PhD, and at the other schools, it’s more like 10-20%). </p>

<p>So again, these differences in inclination (and geographic preference) can lead to very big variations in actual placement. </p>
