| well yeah
i agree to most of the points you made. nyu stern is not superior to tepper in every aspect but certainly it does have its perks. the school is as finance based as CMU is math based. That being said, CMU has more of a reputation in ugrad math courses(though nyu, i contend is still very strong, i think 2003 econ nobel prize winner is a stern professor(did his thesis on time series analysis))
if you are going to do anything with computers go to cmu
marketing-both departments are not known for it, stern is better due to its location
in my opinion both schools are primarily known for finance
the main perk about stern is the location which in tern provides almost unlimited resources and job potential
oh yeah if you want to be a consultant, dont go to stern, i heard half the major consulting firms like bain dont even recruit there |
