Hi !!

I got accepted to WashU, UNC, UT and NYU. I got offered with my significant amount of schoalrship from Olin and some partial fromUNC and UT, while NYU has not offered any.

I plan to work in a corporate finance function at Fortune 500 Company upon graduation.

It would be greatly appreciated if you guys could provide some insights which one would be better and why?

Thanks in advance

nyu is the hands down winner here if you are looking at corp finance. the NYC location and finance nous will also open doors for you if you decide to do something else e.g. banking. with a NYC location, opportunities are endless.

I would check out Olins placement results for finance. For their ranking, they place very well for finance. If the scholarship is significant I would seriously consider Olin if I were you.

Congrats for the admission

It is clear theat NY is the strongest in finance concentration. However, Olin has good reputation in job placements in finance. I have attached you the link for Employment stats from Olin

https://olincareers.wustl.edu/SiteColle ... Report.pdf

Also UNC has a good placement stats for finance. Have a look into the following link:

It is up to you where you want end up living and working as well as the cost.

unc has great career services... since you said corp finance and not ib - you'll be fine there and save on rent for 2 years!. lots of people from unc end up in NY - do a quick linkedin search.... I think most ppl just pick the highest ranked school no matter what - but I think it makes sense with unc (and you wont feel the pressure to take a particular job)
