hahahaha. I think I struck a nerve with you. I guess I don't really even need to go further. I already know the facts and reality so it's not big deal to me. And the more hot girls at NYU, the better.

GentlemanandScholar · 11-16-2005, 02:04 PM

Yeah, hot girls make for a good school. That's why schools like NYU, Arizona State and Florida State are such beacons of higher education.

i want to continue to take classes in UVa, but i really do wanna party in Arizona state on weekends..........seriously........

that'd be sweeet. not that UVA parties are not good, it's just WHO BEATS ARIZONA STATE WHEN IT COMES TO PARTYING?

hey does n e one know y tepper isnt viewed that great by wall street. usnews, no matter how unreliable ppl say, posted tepper as 5th, and stern as 6th. and tepper is like 1st in quant analysis, which is good for ibanking or like hedge fund/trading type jobs, so shouldnt tepper be better?

Tepper kids are very engineering-focused and technology-oriented. They are often recruited to do IT jobs (Information Technology) or other kinds of back-office-computer-analysis jobs. it';s like MIT, although MIT's got an amazing program, it doesnt get recruited by investment banks as often as its peers.

investment bankers need to be aggressive, handsome, convincing and tough, and obviously brilliant.

Quakerman,
I know the student body at UMich and Cal don't have the quality of, say, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson, but they're certainly trying to recruit people of that caliber. Maybe they'll luck out and get Hillary Duff, but who knows. Don't get me wrong, NYU is a fine school, on par with Boston College or Rutgers, but you only make yourself look silly trying to put NYU in league with the big boys. By the way, congrats are in order, I hear Lindsey Lohan will be attenting NYU next year. Jeez, scholars of her level are intimidating!

Lol no.
Stern is internationally renowned, as are Michigan/Berkely business programs. I'd say that they are about equal in category.

i'd say wharton owns all of them... don't think its that close. you have to always strive for the best right?

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.

Agreed. I would attend Cornell AEM over ross/haas. I'd also attend Gtown McDonough > both too, but thats just me haha.

I think we need to be a little more careful of what $ per student really means. I am not saying you are wrong; however, per capita isn't necessary the best measure for everything. For example, lets say there's a sports club called gym A that has not only weightroom/cardio machines but also amenities likewhirpool, steamroom, swimming pool, basketball courts with a operating budget of, say, $1 million and 2000 members. Gym B is a more typical one with only a weightroom and cardio machines with operating budget of, say, $100,000 with 100 members. To me, gym A has more to offer even though budget/per member is less.

Another real-life example. I'd lived in apt buildings that range from 18 units to 100 units per building. Currently, I live in a one with 18 units and there are 2 washing machines/2 dryers downstair. I think I wait (when both are occupied) more often now than when I was in buildings with more units and more machines but less machines per unit.

This thread has been hijacked!. The original poster was looking for lesser known schools that still get coverage from the IB recruiters.

Any takers?

pinkmuscat · 12-02-2005, 11:18 PM

i have a 1540 on the math/verbal sections of the SAT, but a 640 on the verbal... will my verbal score keep me out of wharton/sloan/stern??? i really want to get into one of them.

jpps1 · 12-02-2005, 11:26 PM

You got 900 on math? I don't follow.

Alexandre · 12-03-2005, 12:27 AM

I think he means he got a 640 on the W section of the SAT and a 1540 on the traditional M and V sections of the test.

pimpthatthang · 12-05-2005, 07:12 PM

sloan - low
wharton - depends on your ec
stern - you are in.

btw, Alexandre. I don't really want to go to stern, but if i don't get into the ross preferred admission program, i might have to. i don't want to take the chance plus i know that i'm not very good at adjusting, (ex. first year high school). can you tell me what happens to pre business student at lsa who don't get into ross. do they just ... fail in life?
