Got accepted in Stern and Tuck MBA programs and having hard time deciding where to go. I want to get a job in IB after graduation and it seems that Stern has a great placement in IB. But heard Tuck's alumni networks are stronger (more responsive and helpful), which also matters in recruiting. Have a few years M&A experiences. Any opinions?

Tuck: Get the "Ivy" stamp if that's important to you, people get really tight because there's not too many of you and nothing to do besides be around campus, less competition for IB, less pressure to do a million coffee chats, but you will be traveling to NYC a lot of Fridays 1st semester.
Stern: Being on location makes it way easier to meet with bankers, bigger portion of your class gunning for IB, housing in NYC is expensive on a student budget, not as much of a "campus" or "MBA" experience because so much competes for your attention in NY.
Those are the main things I would think about; if you put in the work to network and prep you'll do fine placing in IB from either school. I would think more about where you felt like you clicked better and how you want to spend ~2 years away for the MBA.
Agree 100% with tds
I'd to Tuck. You would be in NY anyway and Tuck Ivy stamp, plus the network is important. Different if it was CBS.
Tuck. Three reasons: first, at Stern you'll be competing with a ton of ppl going into banking. Will likely secure an offer at either, but placement (whether bank or group) will likely be better at Tuck. second, strong network will be valuable, not just with placement, but beyond your immediate post bschool years in banking. finally, you'll be grinding once you get into IB in New York. you'll have to make a few recruiting trips from Tuck, but enjoy the skiing/hockey/woods while you can
Tuckies are some of the baddest motherfuckers on the planet
Expand on that please
