| "Stern >>>> Financial Engineering at Columbia FU"
um...no.
I've spoken to a bunch of analysts and associates on wall street, in management consulting, investment management and I-banking, and they all say columbia engineering as a whole is comparable to stern if not slightly better. They are close to me, and have no reason to lie, they said that wharton and harvard places better so they weren't trying to flatter or anything.
If we're looking at FE at stern (don't know if NYU has an FE program) vs. FE at columbia, this too would be comparable, columbia's grad FE program is among the best in the country if not the best, and the undergrad too would reap these benefits. If we're talking about columbia FE vs. stern general- Then FE > stern, because the level of mathematical, cs and statistical rigor in columbia's FE program is unmatchable at an undergrad business program, at the same time all classes are geared to wall street. |
