Cornell Johnson ($$) vs NYU [#permalink] New post   08 Feb 2021, 08:06
Hi all,

I was admitted to both Cornell Johnson and NYU Stern. Cornell offered me a 40% scholarship but NYU didn't offer anything.

I'm from Colombia and looking for a career in IB in the US after my MBA. This is my main decision factor and I am quite open to both locations.

Tough call.

NYU Stern is no doubt a better place if you want to go into investment banking. Being in New York City and going to a school with a such a strong legacy in finance is kind of a slam dunk. Johnson does do very well with investment banks even though it's not a core school, but the drop-off in IB placement is significant.

You MIGHT be able to go leverage your Johnson scholarship with NYU. See if they will match it. As unlikely as that may be, NYU may be able to give you some money to help close the gap. You never know!

At the end of the day, it's a personal call based on your individual finances. NYU is going to be much more expensive particularly given the high cost of living. If you can stomach that, go with NYU.

Good luck,
Admissionado

I'd also go with NYU for IB.
I don't think 40% is significant enough to outweigh the benefits of you have the resources.

Congrats on your admits and sorry for missing your post.
I think you have to be in the New York City for IB but I would let marditte comment if there is IB recruiting happening on campus or perhaps on trecks. Obviously this year has not been normal but maybe it will resume next y ear.
