Amherst/Williams Lacrosse vs NYU Stern vs Brown

Pretty much the title. I have a preferred walk-on lacrosse status and admission at a W/A, as well as admissions to second two. Which is best for finance careers in the short and long term?

A/W if you just want a IB job and a sick lax experience, Stern if you are willing to take slightly more risk but want the highest upside. Depends on your confidence in your abilities

Williams no diff. I watch the lax kids walk off the field into a bunch of the top spots, big culture of peoples parents helping out other peoples kids on the team.

 

Shockingly, a business school has higher placements than non business schools. Incredible insight here
