because of threads like this.
DickFuld Is an NYU alumni IIRC. I heard Asians sabotage other people who want to work on Wall Street. They're stories of them burning their homework and stuff like that.
and because of replies like this.
NYU is full of gay boys and Stern is full of weird, try-hard kids who talk about nothing but finance
Tons of people respect NYU. You are probably comparing it in circles heavily populated by Ivy league schools etc.

NYU is where you go if you get rejected by all the Ivys, Stanford, MIT, Duke, Vanderbilt, WashU, Rice, the elite liberal arts schools (Williams / Amherst), and the business school at your state school (since it's so much cheaper). Because of that, Stern kids feel that they must overcompensate and talk about finance all the time to appear smart
Makes so much sense to me now. Plus anyone who can pay gets into NYU I feel.
You also have to get rejected from UChicago and Georgetown^ Forgot to include those. So many things have to go wrong for someone to have to pay 70K a year for Stern
NYU is a great business school. Issue is the place is uber competitive for finance (which means tons of socially awkward people). There is also no actual college experience. Place is great.
LOL at NYU being after you get rejected from Rice and WUSTL.
Duke maybe, but get real.
And NYU is awkward why this site is. Except NYU has a shit ton of smart, awkward people where this site is just autism puzzle piece HQ.

Way to demonstrate his point.....because being "smart" is simultaneous with attending Ivy League schools. Nevermind that every year there are people who take a "preftige" hit willingly because they got a better deal from another university, because the lower ranked school is better in their specific discipline(e.g. GATech > most ivies for some engineering majors), family legacy, location, or any number of other reasons.
NYU abu dhabi is amazing. It's greatly respected!
.
Manhatten is awesome... if you have money and are working. Even as an analyst you are pretty comparatively poor, so why as a student would you want to live there? Also, it lacks any real college experience.
NYC experience > "college" experience in my opinion.
Personally not a fan of anyone at Stern and here's why. I was at a superday for a BB as a DCM Analyst and they put us all in a room and make us read this article about innovation, the future, blah blah blah and then we discuss it and answer some questions while 3 MDs sit in the corner and take notes on our behavior working in a group and such. I'm up and public speaking isn't my strong suit and everything's going well until I finish when this Stern prick basically interrogated me in the most passive aggressive way possible to try to make me look dumb. I didn't get the offer but neither did he because I looked him up on LinkedIn and he an "Operations Analyst" for a commercial bank in Stamford, CT while I landed a CFO Advisory/Consultant role this summer. Karma, although not always instant, does get it done eventually.
i was phone screened on by an associate from nyu, despite me going to a non target he was really cool. We spent the whole time talking about our music aspirations outside of work. He had a Soundcloud page he managed to hide from the bank with over 3 million plays on his music and a couple of music videos. I doubt he fits that awkward nerdy asian kid you guys love to wale on.
Besides people on this forum and (high school) students who exactly doesn't respect NYU? 4 years into the workforce and no one I've professionally interacted with has given me any grief for being an alumni.
.
Stern is respectable. It's the non-Stern NYU shitheads that drive me crazy.
Stern is a school for weirdly intense Asian kids who would commit seppuku if they don't get BB IBD
What about their MBA? Anderson vs Stern, where would you go? I mean as an international, yes it does give you the NY access but beyond that, their MBA grads aren't that famous and their employment reports say that. It's like a gamble: NY or bust. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't get how you would put Stern necessarily below Anderson. It is more about where you want to end up working. Stern may be better for those only targeting investment banking, but it still is a solid B-School. Dare I say one of the best in the country, especially if you plan on living and working in the Northeast/NYC
NYU alum here (undergrad). Could care less what other people think, it's just a school where you get a degree. Nothing more, nothing less.
People who fight about prestige usually own nothing of great value. Remember this.
I don't think they're fighting about prestige. It's about their career services which are kinda limited to NYC which is also one of the factors that defines prestige.
