College Advice (NYU Stern vs. Northwestern)
Hi everyone,
Want some last-minute advice before I commit. Was accepted into NYU Stern (Finance) & Northwestern (Econ). Interested in high finance but not totally set down the Investment Banking/Private Equity pathway.
Both schools are roughly the same price, with no aid. Student from NJ Area (can take a train to NYC).
If you have any last-minute advice, please let me know!
Stern by a mile
Since you're not totally set on finance, would go Northwestern. A lot better overall school
NW even if dead set on IB, NYU is a shithole to recruit out of.
Stern is more of a "target" but it's also hyper-competitive. Recruiting out of NU is honestly great cuz people actually help each other and NU's recent placements are a testament to that. NU won't hold you back from anywhere
Northwestern 100%
Both are good but I would prob pick Stern as I would prefer to study finance for 4 yrs as opposed to economics.
Northwestern is the better school, hotter babes, more fun, and 100% better for consulting but for IB it's a wash. Personally would pick NU but it wouldn't be a mistake to pick Stern for location reasons / close to home.
Northwestern girls are not better than NYU chicks
Go to Northwestern. You don't need to be an econ major to recruit for finance from NU. Major in something fun/interesting like History, Philosophy, Middle Eastern Studies, foreign language, etc. They have a cool internship for credit program where you can work an internship in downtown chicago and get credit for it, really helps pad the resume before recruiting starts to have a MM PE internship the fall of your sophomore year. Google NUIBC and look at recent placements if you are doubting that NU places well.
This is a no brainer from a recruiting perspective (stern) but northwestern would be way more fun.
