if cornell's ranking declined because of its exposure to financial services recruiting, then why did NYU's ranking go up given that their exposure to financial services recruiting is greater?
This is an excellent question and thanks for bringing it up. I haven't looked into the recruiting profile at Stern but it might be that they have stronger ties with the finance community, think inelastic demand (fewer jobs to go around, so the ones with established connections are the first in the money line), or it might be that they were able to place more grads at smaller shops (think Greenhill and Lazard type of places). Again, disclaimer: I don't know much about recruiting at Stern, so this is no more than an educated guess, based on what I've seen/heard has happened at various schools. I think that all finance-heavy schools (other than Stern perhaps) have been more or less affected. A great example would be Wharton.
