Rutgers Business School vs Fordham Gabelli School of Business (Undergrad
As the title says, I'm currently deciding between Rutgers Business School and Fordham's Gabelli School of Business. I know it's hard to get into investment banking coming from a non-target school but I was wondering which school would be better for investment banking/big 4 valuation. Fordham would cost around 10k more for the first two years and for my last two years, it would cost around 20-30k more. While Fordham is right in NYC, Rutgers is also close to NYC, cheaper, and I would already know a lot more people at Rutgers. However, Fordham is obviously a much smaller school which I believe is beneficial as it could be easier to stand out. I would really appreciate any insight/advice on Wall Street placement from both schools (I know it's minimal) and which school would be the better option for investment banking/valuation at the big 4. Thanks and stay safe everyone!
Nerbo, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Sometimes bots are smarter than humans anyways:

If cost was not a matter I would say Fordham > Rutgers, as Fordham has actually been placing pretty well over the past few years and has a small yet strong alumni network at most of the BB's. (Dont have much insight into Rutgers). That being said, not sure the upside would be worth the additional $40-50k (presumably in loans). In this case I'd suggest saving the money and choosing Rutgers. I know a couple Rutgers kids who have placed at BB's, so I'm sure there is some sort of alumni network. Regardless, work hard day in and day out and you will be fine at either school. Best of luck to you.
