How would you guys rank these schools for someone interested in doing HF or IM afterwards? They are all great schools but not in the finance powerhouse of hbs/wharton/booth/columbia. And each has its strengths and weaknesses compared to the others.

| +32 | Umich Ross vs Rice vs Notre Dame Mendoza | 17 | 1d | |

I went through the application process recently, and - honestly - they're all the same. In my view it boils down to two things: prestige and location. Location is entirely your preference. Prestige-wise, and future career-wise (for US jobs), I'll go:
The School I was just admitted to :) MIT Dartmouth Berkeley LBS NYU
Tuck, Sloan>LBS>Haas>>> Stern
Wow. Surprised that you guys rank stern so low for buyside jobs, even though it's known as a finance school and is located in the heart of NYC. Is it that much worse than columbia when it comes to IM and HF recruiting? Would it be a mistake to take stern over tuck or haas simply because of the location?
Yes, it would be. Stern places alright into IB and has been on the decline for a number of years, however their buyside placement is not that great, also there is a huge IM presence in Boston. Tuck's network is apparently amazing.
How has Stern been on the decline? I thought they are a solid top 10-12 program with good finance placement?
Brady,
A fellow on the GMATclub forums is facing a similar dilemma. Maybee you could heed some of his advice:
