NYU was one of the first schools with a business program in the United States. NYU has some tremendous advantages, the most obvious are its location in New York City and its strength in finance. It was originally an evening program conferring the BCS degree but eventually developed into full program from the Bachelors level through the the PhD. It is a relatively large FT program with roughly 400 entrants each year. The center of the distribution is typical for Elite cluster schools- near 700/3.4.

Having worked in a large investment bank and seeing how the associate level people interact with prospective job applicants, I think that NYU gradutes and students are a tighter knit bunch. I just didn't see the same kind of camraderie coming from Booth or CBS people. So my two cents is Booth and CBS might have a better academic reputation and the students there might have more competitive profiles than NYU students. However, NYU has a stronger alumni network, simply because people are more willing to help out.

Also, I think if you go to Booth it will be harder to recuit for NYC finance jobs. A lot of people at Booth end up in Chicago. So where you want to work afterwards also matter.

You're close to the mean. Remember what they say: GMAT scores can keep you out, but they can't get you in.

A 710 will not lock you out of Stern by any means, I think.

(I say that because I'm counting on it - I got a 710!).

Just one quick comment on NYU's Finance professors: Demodaran was mentioned a couple of times to illustrate the quality of the school's faculty, but I'd also mention Professor Robert Engle, Nobel Laureate in Economics. Looking forwarding to interacting with them and the many other top-notch NYU professors.
