university of Hong Kong business vs NYU stern for Asian

Hi,
Since I don't have a top-tier school that would make my decision easier, I'm having a hard time choosing btw HKU (finance and accounting; full scholarship) and NYU stern -fyi opted out Berkeley, UCLA..
I'm interested in finance -currently on an internship, love it and definitely sure that I'll pursue its career- but don't know which school would be best for me. .
I don't have a green card that I might have a hard time getting a Visa when I graduate an American school. Also, I heard that as an asian it would be advantageous for me to attend a school in Hong Kong . On the other hand, I'm not confident to achieve a high GPA in Hong Kong and this concerns me badly when it's important for a job. And I don't like Hong Kong's environment and the fact that I have to study Cantonese.

What would you guys recommend? Also do you know any facts about international recruitment for Stern graduates? Thanks

all depends on what you want man PM me if you want some more insight on the matter pretty familiar with both schools

Well, Stern feeds a significant portion of HK's IBD classes. HKU virtually has no presence in New York's IBD classes.
