<p>which school is better in getting jobs after graduation if i was ultimately planning on wanting to attend a top ten business school....UC Irvine or NYU?</p>
<p>sorry if this is a really dumb question.</p>
<p>UCI doesn't have an undergraduate business program, and NYU has one of the best undergraduate business programs in the country.</p>
<p>So if you wanted a job in the business field before getting your MBA I would say NYU is the best bet of the two.</p>
<p>yup, NYU is wayyy better</p>
<p>UCI is in the process of getting an undergraduate business school within the next couple of years. It will join UC Berkeley and UC Riverside as the only UC's with an undergraduate business major. That being said, NYU is in NYC and UCI is in Irvine. NYU's business school, Stern, is very well respected and would likely place better than UCI. Although if you are driven and perform well in college, both schools should place good, just NYU being in NYC should place better. If you want to be in California i suggest you look at UC's located in or next to big cities such as Berkeley, UCLA, or UCSD. If you aspire to be a business major, then Berkeley would be the only UC as of right now other than UC Riverside that offers a undergraduate business major. I know USC also offers a undergrad business major and am not sure about Stanford, but would imagine they would as well. The top UC's, USC, and Stanford are very competitive however. Best of luck.</p>
<p>if u get accepted to both, must go to NYU :D</p>
<p>nyu (:
but uci has its good points too</p>
<p>The answer is NYU.</p>
<p>NYU is focused only on finance. It ranks as the #2 finance school in the country right behind Wharton (Univ of Penn). </p>
<p>There are better schools for other majors, or for other business disciplines (for example, there are very few marketing courses that you can take at NYU). However, since 80% of all the students at NYU major in finance, it doesn't appear to matter much.</p>
<p>UCI has no undergraduate school, and it's graduate school is kind of "okay". However, it has a great computer science department--and if that's your interest, then I'd say go there.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if you plan to major in finance, go NYU--for other business disciplines, pick Virginia, Michigan, Berkeley, Indiana, Texas, UNC, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Cornell, MIT, Wharton, USC, Miami (Fla), Illinois or Emory. They are all better schools for non-finance business degrees than NYU.</p>
<p>I strongly disagree with Calcruzer's last statement. Yes, NYU is focused in finance, but Stern offers one of the best overall b-education in the country. Now, Wharton and MIT are better - more prestigious and better recruiting. I would say Berkeley, Michigan, Cornell, and UVa are on par. But ND, GT, Illinois? Miami? Those are some fine schools, but they are not top-5 b-programs. And I'm talking OVERALL. Not just finance. </p>
<p>Now, to answer feezy's question, in the long run, it doesn't matter where you go - it depends on what your major is and what you do with your degree after college. That said, UC Irvine has majors that are its strengths, while NYU has its strenghts. If you are looking to get a top-10 MBA later on, I'm assuming you are planning on majoring in business or econ or math - something popolar in b-world. Then, NYU. But if something else, maybe like compsci or chem or bio, then probably Irvine.</p>
<p>NYU by far</p>
<p>Sorry to veer off-course, but isn't this the "What are my chances" section?</p>
<p>NYU is only about 100x better.</p>
<p>Btw, to rad... NYU is a fine school but most of those schools listed do have better overall business degrees.</p>
<p>If a career in finance is your goal---NYU is at the top of all universities. I agree other business majors may not be nearly as strong at NYU.-- Like all of us looking to enter college we should research what our best FIT schools are. I applied ED at NYU because of the journalism program and internship possibilities. Plus NYC is where I wanted to be. I think the "FIT" is important. Best of luck.</p>
<p>NYU by far if you can get into Stern. No comparison.</p>
