Are you a URM? Honestly I recruited for an elite consulting firms and we hired many more non business grads than business grads. I also went to a top 5 MBA and work with other MBAs, a great majority were econ majors at non-business undergrad schools. If you want a top notch finance or consulting job and want to get into a top MBA program, the Ivies (and Duke, Amherst, Williams, Stanford, Chicago, etc) will beat almost every school on your list. Look at where the elite firms recruit, places like BCG, Bain, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan take students from Dartmouth, Columbia and company at a much higher rate than from places like UNC and Emory,

As for Stern, loving NYC is one thing but NYU is something else altogether. I know many many unhappy NYU students who fell for the allure of NYC but lost their love once they realized NYU wasn’t very much of a college experience. It can be a very lonely school. I would recommend Columbia instead, which does a much better job of balancing college life with NYC.
