Stern vs Moore (South Carolina)
Hi,
I posted this on the IB forum, but wanted to get some advice from this forum as well. I am currently deciding on a college for undergrad, and I have narrowed it down to Stern School of Business at NYU and the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina. While I acknowledge that Stern will have better OCR and placement into IB, I would have to take out 120k of loans, which is a large burden for just and undergrad degree. I got a lot of scholarship money at USC, and would have no debt coming out of school. So, which would be the most sensible choice, and would it be worth the 120k of loans at Stern for better placement? Thanks in advance for the advice.
Moore alum here.
If IB is the goal, NYU is a better business school and it's in the heart of NYC. That said, that amount of debt sounds INSANE.
If you have questions about the Moore School feel free to PM me. Not a lot of graduates go straight into IB (most funnel into Charlotte) but generally people graduate with solid jobs.
Not relevant, but you will have a shit ton more fun at South Carolina. I promise you that.
Agree that the loan size is crazy. If you do well you may find transfer opportunity
I was a transfer into South Carolina. One thing I noticed (applied to transfer a bunch of places) is that schools don't often have a lot of money left over for transfers. I wasn't a top-flight student tho, so maybe it's different if you're someone a school would really want.
Wasn't an issue for me, but worth keeping in mind if you'd be planning on doing a year then transferring.
Yea 120k is not far from zero discount... Plus the living cost, ugh!
At the same time, Whether transfer apps will succeed is also a big variable risk..
With IB as a goal, stern is a no brainer here. As long as you get a decent GPA and interview well, no reason you can't land a job at a BB. This will be very tough from USC outside of the chance to land an IB role in Charlotte. Debt burden is tough no doubt but you'll make it up quickly via significantly higher expected earnings coming out of Stern
I was faced with similar choice and I chose Moore for my MBA - If IB was my goal I might have gone another way.
Wtf man absolutely Stern!
