He wasn’t asking about firms, he was asking about grad school:

I’m in the same situation (except I cant attend NYU due to $$$, even if I wanted to go).

I want to transfer into BHP as a sophomore, I couldnt get in as a freshman due to their rigorous class rank requirements… anyway

I looked into it, and if I choose to pursue law, there might be a .1 GPA compensation for NYU’s Stern… as oppposed to the .2,.3,.4,.5 GPA you might lose there over UT’s BHP (which is supposedly known for handing out A’s like candy).

Grad schools would probably favor a candidate (all else equal) with a 3.9-4.0 at the BHP over a Sternie with a 3.5/3.6/3.7/3.8… even then at best a Sternie can hope to “tie” with a BHP student… school prestige doesn’t really factor into grad school’s decisions unless its HYPS or one of the Ivies/MIT/CAL

That’s why I chose to attend UT, it will probably serve me better in the long run.
