| Both are certainly respectable on Wall Street, so you shouldn't have a problem getting a job out of either, provided you have the right gpa etc. (and the pendulum swings back by 2010 hopefully). That said, the "practical finance education" that stern gives wont put you at an advantage to Duke. At least 90% of the technical questions you are asked in interviews you can just get out of studying Vault; quite a few interviews just go straight off the personal feel of the interviewer. Personally, I would go with Duke. They do have a higher prestige factor that NYU, and although NYU has the location, there is no shortage of recruiting on Dukes campus. In fact, some banks love that place. JPMorgan seems to have a fascination with Duke; I guess thats just Dimon being weird. |
