Picking A School
I was accepted to NYU Stern and Fordham Gabelli for undergrad. I want to have a maximally successful career on the buyside. Fordham gave me a full tuition scholarship so I could go there and graduate debt-free or I could go to Stern and graduate with upwards of 200k in debt. Is the superiority of Stern worth this price?
Go with Stern, the ROI
Normally no, but compared to Fordham, yes.
Stern
It will open up more doors, give you a better classmate network and provide a great foundation for the rest of your career. Getting ahead in this industry is hard enough as it is, you want to have as many options to get ahead as possible, Stern will give you more of those options.
While I know that this subject has been covered previously on other forums, how necessary is an MBA right now in IB and PE and even HF and in what direction is this trend moving? Meaning, in seven years when my "time" to get an MBA comes, is it likely to mean a lot and be very necessary or not at all? I have read that "top performers" don't necessarily need one, and while I do intend to be a "top performer" and I think I have the potential for it, I don't want to be arrogant and ambitious and plan for something that I can't actually achieve. With this said, if an MBA will still likely be considered important in about seven years, is it maybe better to save for the MBA from a great institution or is it still better to spend the money now on Stern and just be the best later on so that I can still advance up the ranks?
100% Stern against Fordham, even if for 200k
