UMich Econ Vs. NYU Econ?

Question

Dear,

I'm applying for transferring to targets. For this semester, both of schools aren't open for their business school. Plus. it is extremely competitive to get into their buz school (Ross and Stern). So I changed my plan to Econ. For IB in NYC, which one would you recommend?

Thanks!

Thanks for corroborating my point

I literally said “NYU CAS has near 0 placement into IBD (note I mean IBD not the non-IBD divisions within IBs)”

You are in corporate banking and THATS NOT IBD (ie investment banking division) even though they may be clustered together

The fact that you fail to understand that distinction is just sad and shows the difference between non stern and stern students in terms of IBD recruiting

This is not true whatsoever. I went to Stern a few years back so my experience could be dated but there were definitely plenty of kids in NYU CAS placing into IBD. I've even seen several place into top groups at the BBs (GS TMT, MS M&A, etc.). The EB's and technical heavy product groups like leverage finance or restructuring typically went for the business school kids but the NYU Econ kids also got through to the middle market banks no problems for IBD.

Not sure about Umichigan but NYU CAS has near 0 placement into IBD (note I mean IBD not the non-IBD divisions within IBs)
NYU CAS students get completely destroyed by Stern kids during IB recruiting, would not recommend

I believe MC programs will be a better shot because they're more likely to recruit outside of Ross/Stern.

But whether you go for IB or MC, you should assume that NYU Econ and Mich Econ are roughly equal, just as you'd assume Stern and Ross are roughly equal.  I find it ridiculous that some people on this thread are seriously trying to argue that somehow Mich Econ is materially better than NYU.  If someone has evidence I'll listen but until then, no.
