NYU Stern vs Columbia

[Anonymous]

Anonymous wrote:these two schools on entirely different trajectories - NYU a hot school and Columbia is very meh

NYU and schools like USC and Northeastern, are wicked popular, and only slightly behind the exploding interest in Duke, Vandy, and more surprisingly, other SEC schools like Tenn, Ga, and Fla. This generation of kids os not as tied to prestige - and when they are, look squarely at mom and dad for instilling that attitude and belief set. Duke, NYU, or Vandy over the lesser ivies like Columbia and Cornell all day long folks

Duke wins

Lol, where did duke come from? In the west coast, duke means duke of Hazzard.

Lol, if Columbia were the bottom ivy, NYU is even lower. Who really compares Columbia with NYU?

NYU is competitive with Columbia GS.

NYU and Columbia are peers with similar USNWR rankings. Stern is NYU's most elite school and definitely beats Columbia for elite finance recruiting. You know this, which is why you keep dodging the question.

Just read the responses on this thread and consider that you are quite wrong.

I am guessing there are more NYU people simply bc it's easier to get in. Less Columbia grads.

Columbia is easier to get in with its 1/3 of GS admissions.

Is stern a grad school? Seems Stern is similar to Columbia Business School. Did the student get into both? Seems at that level, you choose which ever school OP's kid got in. It's similar to UPenn Wharton vs Chicago Booth. OPs kid may not get into both. Go with who ever accepts.

If they are "peers" at similar level, where are you getting Stern "definitely beats Columbia"? PP's phrase makes no sense. If they are peers at the similar level, that's what it means - similar.

Love these nyu boosters because they're proud of their school (or kid's school). That's a great thing. However, writing that nyu undergrad is stronger than columbia college will just never be true. CC is staggeringly more competitive. It might feel good to write random sh*t on an anonymous forum, but it doesn't make it real. Grad schools are another matter, obviously.

DCUM is not a good place if OP is looking for an impartial 3rd party's perspective. My kid's a recent CU SEAS grad whose undergrad long-term goal was an MBA program. A significant drawback for my kid already is the salary right out of Columbia is higher than the published MBA salary of most M7 schools. Really. So the opportunity cost of an MBA program is HUGE. The difference is enough to scrap the MBA plan altogether. Can't compare with Stern's experience or outcome. No personal NYU experience.

How did nyu pull this off? I am genuinely curious. Are they providing a more useful, relevant, or rigorous education? Do they provide better networking events? What have they done?

Columbia destroyed itself by itself by admitting a lot of socially maladjusted kids and those with questionable academic potential.

Stern otoh build up a steady stream of grinder gunners who are killer employees in finance/consulting over the last 15 years.

There’s way more risk on what you will get from a random Columbia kid vs say Dartmouth or Cornell or Penn

Back to stern - if you have a high gpa from stern, everyone knows that said person works their ass off and is intelligent

CU SEAS PP above. My kid turned down GS from Wall Street. Finance/consulting on Wall Street takes special kids with special temperament. If that's your kid, go for it. Wall Street jobs aren't hard to get for kids coming out of target schools. With other options, Wall Street/GS felt like a dinosaur.

Seas is different and you know it.

This thread isn’t about seas but Columbia as a whole

Do you mean Columbia destroyed itself by having School of General Studies? I agree, but I wouldn't say "destroyed", but it certainly "lowered" its status among ivies.

Are these other options startups?
