NYU Econ vs UMich Stat
Dear,
I am an international student gunning for IB (or even consulting. Not yet made up my mind). I'm transferring from non-target as a sophomore soon, and I found choosing a major and school hard to decide. (Columbia GS, Cornell Econ not decided yet) Suppose I don't get either of these ivies, and I have to choose between NYU CAS and UMich LSA (neither of them being Stern nor Ross). Visa is a big thing for me, and NYU Econ gives me STEM, whereas UMich Econ doesn't.
I thought Stat might be useful in my further career as I should have a quantitative skillset (using regression and finding outliers, etc). However, I am certainly not a math guy. I am taking Calc 1 and I don't love it, and this course is a joke compared to further courses in Stat.
I feel like I like both schools for different reasons, but UMich is slightly more attractive to me. Do you think I should go for UMich Stat (or Econ) instead of NYU Econ?
As far as I know... econ majors at NYU and UMich don't fare too well since both colleges have a UG biz school.
Networking might be better @ NYU since you'd be in NYC. UMich would probably give you a better traditional college experience, if that's what you're looking for.
What would you say if I go for NYU Econ and network hard? I have done networking here in the Midwest, but I don't understand from my experience how networking can get me a job. Every internship opportunity I had was from cold-emailing. Please note I am gunning for IB or MC after graduation.
Where ru from
I wonder where you get your info from. I graduated from NYU Econ in the last 1-2 years and have done well. Have many friends that did too.
OP: It is STEM and math intensive. Very abtract math, even in the policy concentration. It was challenging but fun and I'm glad I did it. Seriously, if you want to be in IB/finance, then NYU is an absolute no-brainer. New York is incredible and a great place to live.
Wow, and you're now an investment analyst at HF. Thanks for your input. How was your recruiting for hedge fund as an undergraduate?
You've got to think a lot about your GPA. Since NYU econ is stem, I can imagine It'd be quite math intensive and since you say your not a math person, I'd say you should really think about it. But truly, nothing is impossible. You could brush up your math skills in advance. I really don't believe in the whole "Im not a math/STEM person" thing
I see... I'll look into their curriculum to see how it's math-intensive. I think Econ is a pretty obvious option anyway if I choose to go to NYU.
There’s nothing like a game day in Ann Arbor. OP you should visit.
