NYU Stern Recruiting/Target
Hey monkeys,
I've been browsing through the forums and found some older topics about NYU Stern recruiting but nothing quite recently. What are everyone's thoughts about status quo NYU Stern with respect to recruiting/prestige among all business fields? Just would like to hear everyone's $0.02.
Thanks!
Are you talking MBA or undergrad?
My impression is that both do relatively well in Finance on the east coast, and other industries in NYC. It is a good school in a great location for certain fields (finance, consulting, anything else big in NY). Some people say that it plays second fiddle to Columbia, esp. at the MBA level - I think this is probably true.
Here are the MBA employment stats for class of 2011: http://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/full-time-mba/career/emplo…
I was referring to undergrad but those are some mean statistics for the Stern MBA class. Thanks for sharing
dunno if id say nyu is a great school for consulting? fuqua and ross definitely are the second tier kings at that for respective areas but wouldnt say stern is a powerhouse at all in consulting.. good for IBD...
Stern (Undergrad) is strongly geared towards banking. Almost every elite boutique (Lazard, Evercore, Greenhill, etc.) and BB (GS, MS, JPM, CS etc.) with a presence in NYC comes to the campus for recruiting. DB didn't come this year and Blackstone decided to back down and focus on hiring more Harvard kids. However I know people in Stern that were able to secure positions at both firms despite the lack of OCR. Since Stern is a business school recruiters usually expect students to know their technicals and understand accounting.
Placement in the past two years has really skyrocketed as firms look to hire regionally. I've personally met a number of people who recently graduated that have been placed in top groups in various banks. While not everyone gets an FO role at a boutique or BB, most do. However there are a ton of buyside firms, usually AM, that also come to Stern to acquire talent, so there's options other than banking.
Admittedly, consulting isn't one of the schools strengths. Yes there are a few that get into MBB but due to the focus on banking you won't see nearly as many people in the consulting field.
Disclaimer: I go to Stern. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any more questions.
I will weigh in on the Columbia-NYU debate. I turned down Columbia for a scholarship at NYU (MBA). I met a lot of people at both schools and researched the recruiting issue thoroughly before making that decision, and I would say that ceteris paribus, Columbia's edge in recruiting is very marginal. For sell side, there's no difference. Both schools will get you interviews wherever you want, and if you interview well you'll get the job. For buyside, Columbia has an edge in terms of numbers, but that's because they have more students with pre-MBA buyside experience. Columbia has slightly more OCR, also a product of the student body, but at both schools, the vast majority of buyside recruiting is done off campus and both have excellent alumni networks in the industry.
So I think the bottom line is if you have buyside experience, you'll probably do pretty well at either one, but Columbia will offer you a small advantage in OCR. If you don't have experience, you're equally unlikely to get a buyside offer. It will come down to how well you can network and how well you know your stuff. The schools themselves are virtually equal overall in recruiting.
In terms of everything other than recruiting- academics, extracurriculars, faculty, student body, location, etc., both are great but I personally preferred NYU regardless of the scholarship.
NYU stern undergrad non-IB recruitment (Originally Posted: 04/09/2017)
Hi, I'm a high school senior and I recently got accepted to various colleges, including NYU stern. I'm heavily leaning towards going to stern and studying finance. My aim is to work anywhere in the finance industry besides for investment banking. I know that stern recruits really well for investment banking, but I was wondering how well they recruit for other finance roles besides IB (such as AM, capital markets, real estate, consulting, equity research, etc.) that seem more interesting to me. Does anyone have information on recruiting prospects for those types of jobs from NYU stern undergrad? Thanks!
PS I also am considering Johns Hopkins, so if anyone has Info on the recruitment scene there, that would also be greatly appreciated.
NYU places reasonably well, far better than JH. Take advantage of the fact you'll be in the city to network "on the ground" and go meet the people in the fields you want to work in.
Consulting recruiting @ Stern (Originally Posted: 03/08/2011)
Hey guys, I'm interested in finding out which firms recruit at NYU Stern. I know BCG does, and so does Deloitte S&O, but I'm not sure about any other firm. Thanks.
Good luck.
The consulting arms of the big 4 all recruit at Stern, as do Bain, BCG, and McKinsey I believe.
Thanks guys. Pointassist, that'll be helpful for the mba's but I'm wondering about consulting recruiting for undergrads.
I haven't seen anything for McKinsey, not that I've paid any attention to consulting from day one though.
NYU On-Campus Recruiting (Originally Posted: 11/07/2014)
I browsed some past threads, but curious....
For the NYU undergrad people here, how many people out of your class were recruited into S&T from on-campus recruiting? I heard that some funds also recruit from the school, but which funds?
Already posted a thread a few weeks back asking about Baruch vs NYU but now trying to get more info on NYU's recruiting, which I was told by several Baruch students and alumni is far better than Baruch's. I was told only 1 person at Baruch in last year's class got a front-office S&T role as an internship, and then did not receive a full-time offer afterwards.

Read the employment reports?
The reports I found were for graduate level.
Stern AM placement & advice (Originally Posted: 05/22/2016)
Hey everyone.
I'm a rising freshman at NYU Stern this fall. Lately when trying to consider what aspects of finance I would be interested in trying to pursue, I've been interested in trying to break into AM. I have a few questions:
Just interested in hearing about AM and if I would be interested in possibly pursuing that in college.
Thank you very much
