NYU Stern vs Cornell’s Dyson school for asset mgmt
I’m a high school senior that got accepted into Stern ( w/ full-ride) and I received a guaranteed transfer option to Dyson. I’m going to attend Stern for at least the first year but idk if I should consider transferring sophomore yr. I wanted to here your guys’ opinions on which school is better to get into portfolio/asset mgmt (which is as of now my main interest) or consulting since that’s another path I’m interested in.
You have a full ride to Stern & want to do asset mgt? That's a pretty nice deal & you're in a great city for it. Congrats!
You're in the capital of finance at a stellar finance school and can easily work during your school years at one of the vast multitude of hedge funds, asset mgrs or banks.
Why do you want to leave?? Dyson is a great program, no argument here, but a full ride at Stern w/ the ability to boost your internships during the school year via relevant internships sounds like a pretty good deal. I would stay and rock out stern. If you want to go leave NYC, you can always do an MBA outside the city later on, if even needed.
