Columbia is literally a few minutes from Wall St. so opportunities for financial jobs seem more abundant. Is this true? MIT Sloan will prepare me much better for the financial world, but I hear that the first 3 years (essentially where you land your first job) in the industry is the most important. Ideas?
I have thought about if for weeks now. Would it be better to double in Sloan Management and Economics (or Political Science etc...) at MIT or go through the Columbia Core--probably majoring in Economics? Sloan is an amazing program, but I don't know which school gets more opportunities. Does Columbia really get significantly more internships/jobs because it is in NYC?
You'd be able to get an interview anywhere, which is 100% different from getting the job. The interview is the hardest step, once you get that where you went to school means little and what you say/how you say it determines if you're gonna get the job.
