UChicago (Economics and Data Science) vs NYU Stern (Finance and Computing/Data Science)
Hi! I'm a high school senior trying to decide between the two programs above. I probably want to eventually end up in private equity or in a hedge fund. I presume that it will be extraordinarily difficult to break into PE/HF out of undergraduate, so I'm aiming to go into IB/MBB post-undergraduate. All of these factors considered, which of these do you think is the better option? I know Stern probably wins on sheer numbers, is it still better than UChicago?
Not sure about Stern but I know for a fact that at least 5-6 per year from UChicago go right to the buyside
Do you know how many people would be competing at UChicago for IB/MBB/Buyside spots? I figure at Stern it would be the majority of their 600 person class size.
Both top tier schools with UChicago being slightly more prestigious. For IB, Stern is better. For MBB, UChicago has better placement. For buyside, they both send a few each year, with UChicago sending marginally more. I'd say that you should pick based on fit, as UChicago is much more academic and Stern very pre-professional
uchicago is way more prestigous. OP pick uchi
I agree with you on prestige. But, does prestige really outweigh recruiting in the finance field?
