Now, to the OP. SInce you're instate, I'd go with Haas. 12k X4 = 48k, and I'd argue that Haas is actually a better school than Stern. If you think about it, yes, Stern has pretty good placement, but it also has a huge class size. If you are confident that you can make the B-school, then recruiting won't be much of an issue.

IMO, the money is the tipping point in this debate

Both of them suck for banking. You're not gonna land a BB offer anyway -- might as well save some money and go to the cheaper school.

Even though they're not Harvard or Wharton, it's not like it's impossible to land an internship. In fact, lots of people from semi-targets can land internships

Haha, nice to see how prestige "changes" someone. Egotistical much?

"Student Body: Berkeley, NYU has lower admission standards and probably less motivated students."

I thought that Berkeley only had high admission standards for out of state students? They aren't so picky when it comes to Cal residents, since they have in-state preference, which make up 91% of the student body.

I could be wrong but I don't think so

yeah but you can't compare nyu stern students to nyu students in general
nyu stern has a 14% acceptance rate this year making it alot more competitive to get in than Berkeley

employment has to do alot with geographic location
if you like the west , go to Cal
if you like the east, go to nyu
