Top Liberal Arts College vs NYU Stern in Wall Street Placement
Hi, how does Williams College, the number 1 liberal arts college in America compete against NYU Stern in getting jobs on Wall Street, gaining positions in top firms, and advancement? From looking at online blogs or talking to people, I seem to get the following pros and cons for both schools.
Please offer me your views and don't hesitate to correct me if you believe I am wrong about the following assumptions, and please state your backgrounds. Thank you.
Stern
PROS
-in the middle of NYC and wall street, jobs and internships opportunities year round,
-guarantees high psaying jobs in mid level banks after graduation
-good chance of getting jobs in high level firms (goldman sachs, jp morgan) if you are in the top of your class
-NYC is fun
-Stern kids get the most benefits from NYU since they r the smartest
-undgrad b-school is in top 10 always, usually at number 4-6
CONS
-is in direct competition with schools that are more prestigious (Columbia, Harvard, Dartmouth etc)
-wall street firms view the stern curriculum as too technical and that commands less respect and prestige
-a columbia grad who majored in econ is more likely to get a job a bank than a stern grad
-stern focuses primarily on finance, but finance is basic and anyone can master it in a few weeks of training
-cut throat competition: applying for a spot at a top firm means competing against hundreds of Sternies, and a dozen will undoubtedly be smarter than you and that can mean losing that spot
-harder to go on to graduate school
Williams
PROS
-number one liberal arts institution in amierica, ranked on par with Dartmouth and above Armherst
-each graduating class is around 500, around each year around 30 graduates go into banking in nyc and all are offered high positions
-less competition
-Top WS banks such as goldman, stanley, and JP all heavily recruit from Williams due to the "prestige factor", banks seem to love dartmouth and williams for some reason
-easier to land interviews and internships with top wall street employers since less ppl there are fighting for interview spots
-tighter alumni network on wall street, highest chances of being hired
-top feeder to top graduate schools
CONS
-its not in nyc
-berkshire massechusetts is kind of boring
-internships will have to be done in the summer, instead of year round like at nyu
-its a different mindset than NYU, conservative, preppy, and elitist,
