Accepted to both schools for the Full Time MBA, no scholarship on either.

Background Corporate Finance, interested in IB or Entrepreneurship post MBA.

I really like both schools so having a hard time to lean one way or the other.. any insights?


The question is NY or Cali after your MBA. Where do you want to live?

But even so, it is easier to go from NYU to cali than UCLA to NY. So your options will be better at NYU.

The thing that you have to understand is that NYU has access to great companies nearby. This is a major bonus and perhaps a the reason why you should choose NYU.

You will be able to intern at nearby companies or even network into them. This is the key to your success.

IF I was you, I would go to NYU.

Kudos!

Thanks revul angelfire213 dontquixote for your replies. It sure is a tough decision and your rationales make sense. Im 99% certain Ill be heading to Stern. Seems like the right choice for IB and working in NY.

Cheers
