NYU Stern Clubs 101
Figured this might be helpful for incoming freshmen, since I was kinda lost back then navigating the clubs. (All clubs are cool — just my .02) Clubs at NYU can be categorized into a few types: Your typical finance clubs: - Finance Society (for banking) - Investment Analysis Group and Quantitative...
Yale SOM (NO $) vs NYU Stern (NO $)
Found out I have been admitted to both schools, and for both I will be paying sticker price. I do not come from a high income family, and will likely have to take on loans / try and get scholarships. My background is 3 years of work experience as a CPA in the finance services industry. My immediate...

how bad is the Stern culture?
hello, I'll be headed to undergrad this year at Stern and I wonder how the experience has been for some current students or recent (within the past 2 years) graduates. From what I've seen on WSO, stern has a bad rap, with a hyper-competitive culture especially for clubs like finance society, but I'm...
Emory Goizueta vs NYU CAS Econ for IBanking
Was hoping to get some clarity on which is the better choice for entering BB/MM/EB Banking or MBB consulting. The two choices are a double major in Econ-Math and a BBA(Finance) from Emory Goizueta or going to NYU CAS and getting a major in Econ-Math at CAS and a minor in Finance from Stern.

MBA Choice - Stern vs. Darden for IB
I'm fortunate enough to receive offers from both Darden and Stern for their fulltime MBA program.

I'm intentionally hiding the scholarship information because I really prioritize...

Is NYU Stern's(undergraduate) reputation increasing?
With the release of the new Poets and Quants 2020 Undergrad rankings it has Stern in 4th place, just behind Wharton, Ross, and Mcintire. However, based on Poets and Quants data, NYU Stern is much more selective than Ross and Mcintire as it places third in selectivity as well as third in employment...

I want to preface this by asking if anyone has been to either of these schools. If you have, please PM me!

NYU Stern's Non-Finance Majors
I am considering a business/finance/consulting career: would NYU Business Economics be a good major choice? I hope this isn't coming off as somewhat ignorant, but I've never really heard about Stern majors outside of finance and I was wondering: how are the other majors in NYU Stern? I only have one...

Is This True: PE/IB Firms Ask Your for Your SAT Scores?
I've read this I think once or twice on WSO and many other times on random places on the internet. Clarifications from anyone who is actually in PE would be much appreciated. If they do ask, could one just lie, or do they go through the trouble of requesting evidence? Also, is it possible this is...

Since high school, I've been very interested in breaking into investment banking (or Asset Management if IB doesn't work out) and eventually lateraling to HF or PE . What can I do in both the upcoming summer and during my freshman year...
Why is Stern disliked so much, but Wharton praised?
From all the research I've done, they really seem to be much more similar than they are different. Both very finance/wall street focused, recruited heavily, competitive, selective admissions. Other than the Ivy League tag, the financial aid (Penn definitely has better aid if you need it than NYU),...

Hello, I am a senior in high school. Over the last few months, I have gone through an excruciating decision process, which has yet to come to a conclusion. The decision is Stern vs UNC.

Is Stern undergrad that bad?

How useful is an undergrad Econ degree?
Is attending Notre Dame worth it if I cannot internal transfer into Mendoza, and be forced to major in Econ?

Important of Undergraduate College Prestige
At least based on the forums here, a school's name even on the undergrad level seems to matter a lot... more than it should. Like on the thread discussing Berkeley vs Cornell, or AKA Haas vs Cornell, many people were saying Cornell simply due to its ivy league name. But on that note on sites like...
