| Clearly Ross, Haas, Stern, Wharton, MIT, and Cornell can be a gateway to higher connections, jobs in i-banking/consulting. A 3.8 in Ross will do just as well in wall-street as a 3.8 from either Haas or Stern but which school honestly offers more to learn? The quality of education in private schools is somewhat higher than public schools.
This doesn't mean going to Ross is inferior than Stern. Like I said, a student successful at both colleges can get a top job in banking/consulting but overall, I feel that Stern might give a small edge to the individual. Private colleges simply have more money to spend on individual students.
Overall, Mich. has more of a budget than NYU or Cornell but *per individual student*, I feel that NYU invests more money because it can afford to. Similarly, I think that choosing Cornell AEM for undergrad. over places like Haas / Ross - in the end - may be a wise decision because the school can afford to spend more money, time, effort in educating the indiv. student than the publics. |
