NYU stern is a slightly stronger business school as a whole, with the Stern School of Business being ranked slightly higher than Marshall in most major ranking publications. Are you planning to work at the east coast (Wall st. or anywhere else) or the west coast (Sillicon Valley etc)?

^^Ditto that post entirely. Stern generally speaking has a slightly stronger reputation, and if it's been your dream school, I say go for it! Assuming the financial situation is comparable to USC.

Also, I know NYU tends to be big on international stuff in general, so they have a strong reputation in that area as well.

Congrats on getting into 2 great programs!

Ahh thanks guys! I'd really like to work on the east cost, maybe Europe, but then again all my family is on the west! But I guess sometimes you just have to break away, right?
