How do recruiters view a perfect sat score from a semi-target(Kelley)??? Is going into 150k+ debt for a target worth it?
If I want to go to Stern I would have to take out 75k-100k in loans.
Could it be a good thing bc it would make me stand out? Compared to Stern where everyone has a 1550+.
Kelley is great. The odds of being held back from anything because you went to Kelley over NYU are tiny. The prestige thing genuinely doesn’t matter if it’s not Harvard Stanford Wharton equivalent or some no name. Congrats on NYU but the name doesn’t mean much more than Kelley, even if networking is easier by virtue of being in NYC. Just my two cents
Lol, the average sat score at Stern compared to Kelley is like 200 points higher and the amount of notable alumni are incomparable.
You will have to work significantly harder to get the same opps at Kelley you would at NYU. If you work that hard at NYU you can get wayyyy better opps than kelley.
75k debt isn't even bad and living in NYC alone is worth that, let alone a much better education and brand name.
Thanks. Only worry about Stern is that there is a curve, and it's VERY competitive. Kelley classes are going to be way easier so keeping a high GPA will be less work. At Stern I'll also have more competition with recruiting/interviews/internships. Where will this "work significantly harder" come up? Like will the bar for me on my resume/in interviews just be higher bc I'm not at a target?
Pleasee correct me if I'm wrong, but is there any way it might just be easier to stand out at Kelley? I assume the kids there won't be as tryhard/focused/driven as they would at NYU.
This is how it is in the college application process ^^ the bar is lower if you're from a bad HS because you're being compared to the other kids at your school. Let me know if I'm wrong, this is just a thought I had.
I don't know where you got the idea that your SAT score is somehow going to be your magic differentiator. Seems to be somewhat archaic in recruiting and you should be focused on your GPA/Prof experiences now. Kelley is a solid program though and if anything will be a more enjoyable college experience with a more traditional college feel.
Ok sorry. I'm trying to cope with the fact if I choose Kelley it'll mean that I spent all of HS getting perfect grades and test scores just for it to not even matter. That's also why I feel like it's so hard for me to pass up Nyu. I got the idea because I've seen posts on this website saying that a good SAT score helps differentiate you at a nontarget. So I want to know how much it differentiates you and if that difference makes up for the difference between NYU and indiana
Yeah. Your perfect grades and test scores don’t matter either way. You should have spent more time being a normal high school kid.
Cope. People / recruiters still recognize very high SAT / GMAT as indicators of potential. A perfect SAT signals "very smart"
IU Alumni. Everyone ik at / from NYU hates it / hated it. Also were a couple interns in my class from there they all sucked. IU isn't the greatest, especially if you aren't from the midwest and don't join greek life. That being said, I'd come back to IU versus going to NYU any day of the week. Can't beat the big 10 sports, the culture, etc. I wouldn't want to spend my college years in NYC without a campus that seems so lame.
Go to Stern. Live in NY. Enjoy a better brand name and the ability to recruit in much closer proximity to all these banks etc... The debt will pay for itself if you are grind and get a good job.
Unfortunately in these ultra-prestige circles people care a lot about schools etc.
Internships, connections, and campus involvements are much more important than SAT when it comes to banking recruitment. A strong SAT score, arguably, can make your resumé look a little better, but all else equal, there is so many other things worth more considerations.
Stern is a target. Kelley is a semi-target at best, and good luck without the IBW. Go to Stern. Next.
Marginal difference between Kelley and NYU Stern is not worth $100k.
If you get a 1600 on the SAT and have on your resume, you’ll get looks as long as everything else is solid.
