Should I choose NYU Stern or Cornell ORE if I want to go into finance?
Some background: I'm a senior in high school, and I've decided that I want to go into finance, and I recently got into both NYU Stern and Cornell Engineering (ORE). Which school, holistically, offers the best foundation for a career in finance? Or, are there certain aspects about each of these schools that make them more preferable over the other?

Could you explain the reasons to me?
is this a joke? Cornell clearly
How come?
NYU Stern is fine but Cornell is an ivy league school...
Given Stern v. Cornell ORE I'd have to go with Stern. From a look ORE doesn't seem to have any finance options unless it isn't in the degree requirements. So if your heart is set on Finance then it seems Stern.
If ORE has a data science aspect of the program (couldn't tell) then that could be a path to Finance. Anyone at ORE able to tell you placement stats in Finance or Data Science?
Is the ORE program partially done out of NYC in the new campus?
This guys has no clue what he’s talking about. Cornell ORE you can do literally anything you want if you have the GPA. Loads of students from ORE going into MBB and other consulting, finance, trading, PE.
Separating out the argument anyways, the content of the degree is irrelevant if you have an Ivy League degree. BUT, even if the content were relevant ORE is the crossover between engineering and business, it is as relevant as it gets aside from a straight up finance degree.
But, how hard would it be to maintain a high GPA knowing the grade deflation at Cornell?
I literally said I "couldn't tell" about ORE program. By chance you have any placement stats from ORE? I've learned the hard way not to trust what anyone says without data.
Electrical Engineering major from a similar Ivy. Took some finance classes and had no finance internships on my resume. Got plenty of BB interviews at places I didn't network at.
Bullshit that you need data science or the sort to get anything in finance with an engineering degree. I have an engineering friend who literally knows jack shit about finance and got an internship at a PE firm.
I’d go Stern personally
similar opportunities, would go whats ever cheaper
