Yeah but that is the bweek ranking. No offense to emory, but Stern is on a different level in terms of prestige/what jobs it will get you. In fact, some of Emory’s biggest recruiters (I know Lehman recruits there, I think Bear Stearns does too) are nearly dead companies. I would not even BEGIN to put Emory in the top 5 of undergrad b-schools. That honor belongs to Wharton, Sloan, Stern, Haas, and Ross… In fact, Emory probably wouldn’t even fall in the top 10. Of course, realize that NYU is cutthroat competitive, and there’s absolutely no feel of community. But, if I were to pick one, I’d pick NYU just for the fact that it’s a much better school. And finally, average starting salary is over $5,000 different, in favor of Stern. You also have a much better chance at landing jobs at the best of the best Ibanks (read: Goldman Sachs). Stern sends a ton of kids to Goldman each year, while emory will probably send 2-3.
