I am deciding between four schools, although I don't know which I will be able to get into. Can you guys give me your opinion, and rank these school?
Also, give me the pros and cons of each. How much lower of prestige is UNC and Duke from Columbia and NYU?
| +43 | UC Berkeley (Haas) vs Cornell Dyson vs Columbia vs Dartmouth | 19 | 15h | |
| +26 | Should I take on 100k in loans to go to Emory? | 27 | 13h | |
| +24 | MSF Rankings 2024 | 18 | 2h | |
| +21 | Imperial MSc Economics and Strategy for Business for London consulting? | 11 | 2d | |
| +20 | Got admission to ESCP MiM - now what? | 14 | 20h | |
| +17 | Full-Ride at Nontarget or Full Price at Target? | 8 | 2d | |
| +17 | Clash of the MSFs, Georgetown vs Nova | 4 | 1d | |

NYU sucks, UNC is nothing special. Duke gets a ton of recruiters and columbia goes without saying. onething is however there will be a lot of competition at columbia
For buy-side jobs such as a long/short analyst, which school would present the best opportunities?
So NYU and UNC are not looked upon very favorably on Wall St?
From what ive read on this site and other is that NYU and Columbia are the two best for IBD. Duke and UNC fall far behind, with UNC being the least prestigious of all of them with a 50% acceptance rate.
heilbrun center. nuff said.
(1) NYU/CBS
(2) Duke (big gap)
(3) UNC (way behind)
Does Morgan Stanley recruit Duke heavily because of John Mack?
But I haven't met one Fuqua grad yet in recruiting so far this year.
These are really different schools. If you are interested in RE, UNC is the spot - probably the best RE program in the country. However, it falls behind the others for banking for sure.
I met a few associates from Fuqua at my MS sell day.
met a CS guy during recruiting from duke undergrad
Columbia is far and away the best of your four choices for any finance position, sell-side or buy-side. Then NYU. Then a big gap to Duke. Then a ginormous chasm to UNC. NYU is looked upon well on Wall Street, but to be perfectly honest (and I'm not trying to insult anyone here) but NYU is generally considered a backup school to CBS, so you have a larger hill to climb as an NYU student then a CBS student.
This is somewhat accurate although I was shocked to meet so many Stern people who turned down CBS. I think 5 years ago Stern was definitely a backup to CBS, but not so much these days. Either way, both schools (and chicago) are backups to wharton.

Chicago is NOT a back up to Wharton. I don't care what the Ivy purists say, Chicago MBA is a better finance school than Wharton MBA, hands down. Chicago has better profs, a more flexible system and the option to take more advanced coursework. The only advantage Wharton is proximity to the Street. When it comes to finance, it goes Chicago > Wharton > CBS > Everything else (unless you want to be one of those PE faggots, in which case you better go to HBS).
Oh, and if you're wondering, I didn't go to Chicago.
chicago is definitely a back up to wharton in the sense that it's much easier to get into chicago. as between the two schools, wharton probably wins the common admit battle by quite a bit and CBS probably even beats chicago in that regard.

Harvard/Wharton/Stanford > Columbia/Chicago
H/W/S still open more doors than Columbia, Chicago, and other top tier b-schools.
Just out of curiousity, where would you rank Kellogg in that mix?
for banking? below all these schools (as well as stern, mit and tuck)
Nonetheless, between your choices Columbia will get you furthest
I just don't think their banking network is that strong.
how abt Kelley's school of business (Indiana) ?
