I’m a high school senior that got accepted into Stern ( w/ full-ride) and I received a guaranteed transfer option to Dyson. I’m going to attend Stern for at least the first year but idk if I should consider transferring sophomore yr. I wanted to here your guys’ opinions on which school is better to get into portfolio/asset mgmt (which is as of now my main interest) or consulting since that’s another path I’m interested in.

You have a full ride to Stern & want to do asset mgt? That's a pretty nice deal & you're in a great city for it. Congrats!
You're in the capital of finance at a stellar finance school and can easily work during your school years at one of the vast multitude of hedge funds, asset mgrs or banks.
Why do you want to leave?? Dyson is a great program, no argument here, but a full ride at Stern w/ the ability to boost your internships during the school year via relevant internships sounds like a pretty good deal. I would stay and rock out stern. If you want to go leave NYC, you can always do an MBA outside the city later on, if even needed.
Both schools are pretty equivalent, but given the full ride that stern gave you, you should definitely go there.

Stern, no question. Stern and Dyson are peer schools to begin with. Scholarship seals the deal.
Stern and Dyson carry the same prestige and are in the same tier for recruiting. I don't see why you would give up a full scholarship for another school that places basically the same as Stern and is not more prestigious.
This is late, but I think people are forgetting that Cornell could also offer you a full-ride if you decide to transfer since Cornell did not give you fin aid yet. Since Stern and Dyson are peer schools, you need to choose based on how you like the school. You may not enjoy the difficult classes, competitive nature, and city life of Stern, while Cornell offers easier classes and a more typical campus.
Congrats on the full-ride dude, not easy to do.
If you can get the Cornell's financial aid office to commit early, I might take Dyson. Dyson and Stern are generally equal, with maybe Dyson slightly better, but if Stern is offering a full-ride...However, I know that the Ivies offer only need-based, so it really does depend on your situation. Based on the information you gave us, I'd lean Stern.
First time I've ever seen you suggest Stern over another school lmao (even though it's still hesitant).
