Columbia or Stanford?

I absolutely cannot imagine Stanford “isolating” you from a Wall Street career. Stanford has a better business school (GSB) than Columbia does and a fantastic alumni network in New York. Though you would be physically further away from Wall Street at Stanford, it wouldn’t be hard to get there after graduation.

That said, if you want to be within commuting distance of Wall Street, Columbia would be it! Also times are changing, and with all the reform going on, Silicon Valley may offer a much better get-rich-quick plan than Wall Street can.
