UT dallas or Hofstra?

Please give some advices

Those schools aren't ranked that highly, and you still have time to take the GMAT again before the app deadlines. Why not look into doing that?

Dont go to hofstra unless you wanna get the "Hofstra Red"

haha what is the hofstra red lmao

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hofstra%20red

Basically Hofstra developed its owned strain of STD

Are there anyone here that could tell something about UTD?

I wouldn't goto Hofstra. That's just me.

Cause of the Red

If you're going for a master's is transferring even an option?

Hofstra is waaaay too expensive for what it offers. They're basically just there to collect your check.

I live on Long Island, and commute to Baruch. Hofstra's campus is nice, but it's pretty much located in a ghetto town - Uniondale/Hempstead. You won't be going to the city as often as you think.

As someone who started out at Nassau, which is right next door, I can tell you first hand that the "red" is a very real threat. But that's why there is Nassau.

Bottom line, though: it's really not worth the money, and I don't understand how they get away with it.

Well, I don't know your stats.

and this link is for MS in Accountancy. But I think it's good for comparing. if it makes you feel any better, I was originally not accepted into Baruch - but I ended up writing a letter to appeal the decision. I think that they just need it for the record that they follow their high standards, and then they let you in with a letter in order to collect more cash. So, I think you should definitely apply.

Academics in Hofstra? Well, I don't know. Never studied there. But I do know for a fact that the student body there is three quarters retarded. Not gonna lie, Baruch is FILLED with idiots (I'm talking more common sense, than book smarts,) but it's a different breed.

I think that outside of New York, or even just Long Island, you will have trouble finding a job. This will be true for Baruch as well, but at least you didn't pay ten times as much for the "privilege."

I don't know anything about UTD, but I do know that Hofstra is a waste of money.

Hoftstra > Harvard > Yale > Stanford > Princeton > LSE

I am almost certain you won't be able to transfer from different masters programs to another. Well, without losing all credits that is. I'd hold off personally. Why a masters and not MBA?

Bottom line, you need to give you stats for anyone to help you.

I think your best bet is certainly UT Dallas. For one, the business school ranking is much higher. While I completely know that Dallas is not exactly a hub for finance, there are a number of investment banks that are in town: Houlihan Lokey, JPM, Stephens, McColl Partners, Cantor Fitzgerald, RBC (their securitization group)...also some smaller boutiques like Southwest Securities, Commerce Street Capital, MHT Partners.

That being said, Dallas is an extremely great city but if you are looking to get into IB...all of the BB and big MM firms are in Houston (oil and gas groups). There are tons of shops over there that recruit at SMU, UT, Rice, etc. While i'm not sure what the OCR is like at UT Dallas, you would be in a really great region and certainly just being in Texas would be helpful. While the oil and gas guys do recruit from the ivys and other targets, you have a lot better chance and will most likely be going up against people on the same level of playing field.

On the chance you aren't looking for IB, theres a TON of commercial real estate shops here.

I don't exactly hold Pace or St. Johns in high regard either. And believe me, Baruch is not that much better - it's just cheaper.

I think Pace might be a better bet if only because it is actually IN the city - but I'm pretty sure it's as expensive as Hofstra. Anyway, the main point is, it's pretty much a bad decision to go for a PRIVATE NON-TARGET. It's actually probably the worst decision you can make.

If you can get accepted into Frodham, definitely do it - that's just my opinion.

I just don't really have much good to say about Hofstra, sorry. It's basically a place setup for squeezing dollars out of dumb middle class kids. A place that's even worse - Adelphi. And it's right next door...

i concur with the extra large sausage pizzaman

For your sake, and your penis' sake, do not go to hofstra unless you plan on being celibate

I grew up on Long Island. Hofstra doesn't have a strong presence on wall street. Transferring in a masters program is unheard of. It's extremely expensive, and not very strong. Sounds like a bad idea.

wait , whatd you get on your gmat eric?

hmm id think youd be able to get into a decently bettyer school for MSF where did u apply?
