King's College London vs New York University Economics
I'm a UK based student with dual British and American citizenship as my father is American. I was given an early action offer to King's College London, and the only American school I applied to was NYU for economics in the College of Arts and Sciences. I was just given an offer there. I had already mentally committed myself to KCL, but now that I've been extended an offer to NYU, I'm reconsidering. There are a few reasons why I believe NYU may be better for me:
1) NYC has higher pay for banking
2) NYC has better recruiting for private equity should that become something I'm interested in (and I only speak English which may be a con in the UK)
3) I would have to pay American taxes in London anyway due to being a dual citizen despite having never lived in America.
My concerns are:
1) I was given an offer in the College of Arts and Sciences and not Stern
2) I am likely a stronger cultural fit in the UK
3) NYU is much more expensive
Which would be the better decision?
Do you want to live in the US or UK? That's the only thing that matters.
NYU is much better, unless you want to work in the UK, in which case go to KCL
KCL really isn’t that great for banking. UCL, LSE & Imperial are the London schools sending the most people to IB.
However, there’s still a possibility to break in whilst going to KCL, as is the case with most decent schools in the UK.
My opinion, try to go to NYU. May cost more but salaries are also higher in NYC than London. If you can explain in interviews why you study Econ rather than at Stern, such as wanting to understand macro to better understand the business world, you won’t have any issues.
