NYU vs BC
Which is the better option between these two. I have heard different things about BC, some saying it is a very nice school leading to great connections, and some saying it is a non target. I have also heard mixed feelings in NYU.
if you want to do banking, NYU no doubt
Both schools will offer great opportunities to make connections and pursue positions in banking (assuming that is what you want to do). On paper, NYU may send more students into banking, but if you are really determined to put in the work and time you will be in a good position at either school. Therefore, I wouldn't use any slight statistical differences to determine where you want to spend the next 4 years - BC & NYU are completely different in almost every other respect, and I think you should prioritize these differences in your decision (I mean, you want to enjoy your college experience!) Reach out to students at both schools and get their perspective on recruiting, classes, culture, etc., since that is how you will gain the best insight.
Also, I have a close friend at BC who was recruited to a BB for ib recently. I wouldn't underestimate BC's presence on the street. They have a great close alumni network that are willing to reach out to and help students, which really makes a difference when networking. BC is also a target school for several BBs and is gaining credibility among other BBs and EBs. Good luck, and congrats on getting into two great schools!
Whaddya mean not many kids getting BB offers, I am current sophomore at BC going through recruiting rn. Citi recruits everyone here, we are the #1 IB school for UBS, RBC likes us, so do Barclays, BAML, DB, and other boutiques like Moelis boston, plus there's some smaller MM shops and non-EBs that also recruit here. NYU is probably better but I wouldn't say we're bad
Dog you are on wildin right now.
I'm a junior at BC right now. Or was? Idk, guess I'm not a senior yet.
Off of the top of my head:
Citi (OCR)- recruits mostly diversity, good luck getting an offer as a white male from BC. There's certainly a few, but after DDing all those kids they had freshmen summer internships elsewhere.
UBS (OCR)- recruits almost entirely diversity. Also isn't a BB, and is just a shitty bank (I'm biased on this one), but still.
RBC (OCR)- Not a BB
BAML- They don't recruit IB out of BC. The one junior who got an offer there, her daddy is a VP there. Right now, there's 2 analysts at BAML. One is legit, other is diversity hire.
Barclays- Good
DB- Trash anyways and only 1 offer to a girl from there for SA2020. Also she had family connection
GS- You have a hance
Moelis Boston- 1 BC guy analyst there. Stand out kid.
Morgan Stanley- Forget it lol
JPM- will be tough CS- As far as I know, only 1 MD on the st. No recruiting
EBs: Centerview recruits OCR. Pretty cool. They only extend 1 or 2 offers. I don't even know if there was one this year. Hope there was. Lazard came, no idea if they took anyone, wasn't OCR.
William Blair- a couple spots for BC kids Harris Williams (OCR)- 1 spot maybe PWP- 1/2 spots for BC kids Canaccord Genuity- Handful of spots 4-7 more random boutiques- recruit OCR
I don't think BC is bad either. But let's be honest with the kid, we are the definition of a semi-target compared to a Target school. I'm not writing this to be mean or trash my school. I am happy with the offer I got out of BC.
