Holy shit.

As someone older than you (and probably the only one on this website), you need to start to learn to let go a little bit. This is not your life to live. It is hers. She is not likely to become an investment banker, not because she is not capable, but because there are so many possibilities of what she might want to do and be good at. Have you ever asked her what she wants to do?

That being said, she should probably go to Michigan. At NYU, she will be surrounded by too many other singularly minded kids with helicopter parents and won't be able to develop as well emotionally as she would at Michigan

"You can be anyfing you want: since you cannot be doctor, engineer or even banker is ok."

"You only got into Stern and Ross? Why no Hahvad? Aiya [indecipherable Chinese]."

"You got into Hahvad, why no scholarship? Ting Ting next door she got scholarship."

"4.0 GPA and you got into all eight Ivy League?...uh ok, go take piano exam."

It was my first thought too. If your daughter doesnt make the decision herself, she will hate you for her entire life,

granted with the prestige of schools that she has already got in. Both schools will give your daughter ample opportunities should she take those opps and thrive

both are fine schools--but it'd be STUPID for OP to ask what fits best for her right now, WITHOUT anything from her inputs---She is going to those schools, and her needs and wants are the most important for fit

 
My friends think Stern is in NY

I can confirm that Stern is in New York. Feel free to remove any doubt you and your friends have on this matter.

We heard Stern students having internship all year around, and get paid well for intern. We hope our daughter could do the same, to make part of the tuition

Do not forget that the cost of living in NYC is much higher than it is in Michigan!

 

Michigan for a real college experience. Actual campus where you'll have a sense of community. Big 10 athletics. People to tend forget the importance and allure a big-time sports program brings to a university. Huge sporting events provide a fun and vibrant culture that you'll remember for the rest of your life.

While NYU is certainly stronger for IB, Ross will provide great career opportunities.

 

Dude listen to DickFuld . This is really fucking creepy to come to a site with a largely disproportionate amount of horny 20 something's to ask for advice.

While I am sure that you have good intentions with your own search please let her make up her own mind. They are both great schools with different career opportunities. It is her decision at the end and her professional life that will let her down the right path.

Also please do not come with her during interview time. That will be an automatic ding.

Apart from all of the crazy comments that you may read.......... Ross hands down. Good luck.

"Chance to be in IB and get rich"... You have to be kidding. Maybe she should choose for herself and maybe you shouldn't be so selfish. SMH. @taobridge" have you ever thought about your child's wants and not your own? I'm just glad my parents aren't demanding. Good god.

 

I'm Asian and went to Stern, but I ended up double majoring in computer science and getting a job as a software engineer. I did three part-time internships and another summer internship in finance during undergrad, and all they did was convince me (conventional) finance is not the route for me. So even if you force your daughter to go one way, it's likely she'll end up doing whatever she wanted to do anyway.
