BC CSOM vs UMICH & NYU econ for IBD
These are the top 3 programs I was accepted in for transfer meaning no hope of changing major. I have asked similar questions but please help me evaluate these schools and if you have gone to one of these, please give me a picture of what the recruiting is like for IBD in the respective programs.
Michigan: great academics, bad OOS tuition, from what I know the career center for LSA econ students sucks (although I am leaning towards here for the academics)
NYU: best diversity, but CAS econ students are known as Stern rejects... also going out for a drink or even a meal will be extremely expensive
Boston College: heard some good things about the IBD recruiting for Carroll students, but what gets me is that this is a catholic school, nothing against catholics, I just feel like it will be a lot harder to fit in
All are roughly around the same cost +- $3k which will be nothing in comparison to a potential job offer I can get.
Maybe something to consider. I want to work in either LA or SF for banking so the prestige of these schools on the west coast matters. Also, I am going to these schools for the chance to work in a BB.. I have IBD experience, so its not a matter of breaking into the industry. Please help, all opinions on these schools are appreciated
Thanks! SBs for good info





as far as bc being a catholic
as far as bc being a catholic school, dont worry about it
it doesnt affect anything, in fact, u cant really feel it
You will take a hit for not
You will take a hit for not being in either Ross or Stern but as long as you're academically sound you can make up for it. From my understanding BC/BU are a pretty poor value in terms of cost to recruiting ratio.
For me it would be between NYU and U-Mich. NYU edges out slightly do to location but I would make your decision based on the kind of campus atmosphere you want to be surrounded by.
Most of the BBs have actually
Most of the BBs have actually posted on the LSA career center site for SA positions this year. Non-Ross recruiting has been getting much better recently - if you make any sort of networking effort, you stand a pretty good chance of scoring an interview.
How have you heard back from
How have you heard back from BC already? I applied and they release decisions on the 15th...

Hey gnome, pmed you.
I have been hearing NYU econ isnt as bad as most people put it to be. Is this true?
If you are going to be paying
If you are going to be paying NYU tuition for Econ you might want to look into Fordham
nyu vs fordham in costs
nyu vs fordham in costs without scholarships is pretty close to equal i think, with nyu being 41k ish and fordham being around 39k. However, if you get scholarships at fordham that number might go down a lot.
Fordham gives great financial
Fordham gives great financial aid for transfers, as opposed to NYU. Now figure in $20k Fordham Econ/Finance vs. $41k NYU Econ.
I know its not answering the
I know its not answering the question but Fordham will give you solid aid (15-25k) if your smart enough to get into BC and UMich, and the school is getting better every year. Plus you have the advantage of getting an internship during the year which is easily the best way to get your foot in the door with a lot less competition.
