Comparing undergraduate schools. NEED HELP CHOOSING Northeastern, NYU CAS

Would Northeastern or NYU CAS (ECON) be better for job placement, specifically ib and consulting? I asked this question before but got mixed answers, so I thought maybe I should get more opinions before choosing. They're about the same price.

Let me start off by saying I have been to neither of these schools. From what I understand, northeastern has a great co-op program and that might actually put it over the top. However, the internal transfer rate to stern is apparently much better then external. Also, I heard NYU CAS still places decently well on the street. For all of those reasons I would suggest you goto NYU. The only reasons I wouldn’t suggest NYU is the following:

You don’t think you will make it into stern
Money(although I think it’s comparable)
Your a Jewish Student (sad reality right now)
Your not positive you want IB

 

From my perspective even if you don’t make it into stern it’s not a big deal at all. I studied econ at BC and classmates did well with both IB and consulting recruiting. Those in the business school did have a little more insight into IB recruiting timelines, but that’s really the only advantage. For consulting, being in the business school vs studying econ doesn’t matter at all. For IB and consulting, if you know how to network and can pass technicals and cases you’ll be fine.
