Replies to: NYU Stern or Cornell AEM
And, yes, NYU's recruiting beats Cornell's--based obviously on it's location in Greenwich Village.
momkimmy, AEM has a 13 percent acceptance rate. so it is definitely harder to get into, and it gives you an education and lifelong friends you can trust, while Stern is all about beating your friends to the next internship. I know very few people who got into AEM but it turned down for Stern... So I bet you none of these people talking crap about Cornell got into AEM or knows anything about the AEM program, as well as the opportunity it presents.
plus, i don't hear anyone else on this thread saying cornell is better except you. so get the bias out of your mind and give the guy some rational advice.
Cornell is a program on the rise that has excellent placement in all aspects of business. Contrary to popular belief, it has a very strong finance concentration. And it offers you a set curriculum that allows you to get your CPA before you graduate. Many accounting firms recruit here. However, NYU definitely limits you to those two areas. I have taken consulting courses at the Johnson school and let me tell you, they are fun as hell. I never thought I would like consulting till I got a hold of the case studies and saw how challenging yet interactive they are. You think you wanna do i banking or cpa accounting until you get to college and you are like, o wait, do i really wanna be an excel monkey? or you realize how boring accounting is after taking Financial and Managerial Accounting? And then what? You realize your true passion is HR, or you dont wanna be a corporate slave and wanna start a technology venture, or you wanna do managerial consulting, like me? What are you gonna do, start the college application process all over again?
CAN STERN STUDENTS ANSWER THAT QUESTION?
read it. you can read rite? last year was 16%. this year went down.
Do you think I will be at a disadvantage getting the same jobs that Sternies would get? I do plan on majoring in Finance, btw. Or would my opportunities be greater or smaller?
