<p>The median base salary for both is the same and for many companies listed the numbers are close. I also note that almost all of the Fortune 500 and all the top 100 companies have offices in NYC who hire locally from Columbia, NYU and Fordham and that this is a very short, limited sample list of “Top” companies. I would be interested to see how many of the top 100 hire from these schools. Kudos to VU for a fine business program and ranking.</p>
