Emory or NYU?

I’ve done a ton of research, as I was serious in both schools. If you look on goizueta undergrad’s website, their average income is around $55,000 for finance majors. However, NYU this past year eclipsed the 60,000 mark. (It’s in the business week article which goes along with the rankings). Lehman Bros. and Bear Stearns have both had very public, embarrassing meltdowns (it started a while ago, when one of BS’s hedge funds shot to $0, and the subprime meltdown, well… is the subprime meltdown). The field is very volatile right now, and you NEED, absolutely have to go to schools with solid recruiters. Goldman basically called the subprime meltdown ahead of time, and that’s why they have been able to remain so successful .

Businessweek rankings are ok, but I just think that those of US NEws are better.
