Hello,
I have committed to the University of Florida to study Finance. At UF I would be on track to do a 2+2 for the accelerated Masters of Science in Finance program. I am also on the NYU waitlist. If I get off the waitlist and am admitted to Stern I would definitely go, but I am looking for advice on whether or not it would be worth it for me to go if I get into like Gallatin, CAS, Tandon, or SPS (real estate), all of which I also applied to for nyu waitlist, considering I want to study business. Nyu would be 25k for me because my mom works there and at UF I would pay 40k. Thanks
Possibly.
NYU would be cheaper than an alternative? That’s probably the first time I’ve seen that on CC!
So you applied to Stern but seem to have put everything down as an alternative? I’d say Gallatin is unlikely as an alternative choice, and what would you study at Tandon? CAS? I guess the real question is whether you are more interested in a “business” or “finance” degree, or an “NYU” degree.
Considering it’s also a $60k saving over 4 years, that should probably come somewhere into the equation too. Would you be commuting in NY - iow would accommodation costs also be cheaper than UF, or was your cost number all inclusive?
I can’t believe that I am saying this. But based on what you said, NYU (if admitted) looks like the better choice from a financial perspective.
@SJ2727 Tandon it would be BS in Business and Technology management which doesn’t really interest me that much but my main thinking is that if i get into any school other than Stern or CAS I’d just try to trasnfer into CAS. At CAS my major would be economics. I’d prefer to actually be studying in a business school but I guess NYU CAS economics might still be more worth it than MS in Finance from UF? And yeah 25k per year NYU is all inclusive with on campus housing
I’d take NYU if possible. You can network while at NYU.
Right now it is all hypothetical since you are on the waitlist for NYU. Let us know if you get into NYU and if so to which division and then people can comment more intelligently.
