标题: NYU Stern or Duke
Got into both. I thought I would choose NYU in a heart beat because of its location, but now I am not 100% sure whether this reason is good enough. My post MBA goals are MNC headquarters finance role in the east coast of the US, or consulting. My background is 4.5yrs audit, 4 years MNC finance in Energy industry. Preferably will return to Energy but open to other sectors. It seems Stern's ranking is moving upward whereas Duke is dropping in the past decade. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I would appreciate it if you could also share your thoughts on why one program makes more sense than the other.

BTW, I was just admitted to Duke in R3. Applied in R2 but took toefl after the deadline so my application was postponed to R3.

很少见过有人在这两者间选择，档次差不多，风格完全不同的学校，苹果和鸭梨，你说哪个好。不考虑自身情况比较根本没意义，两者吸引的学生也不一样，你更想认识什么行业背景和目标的人，NYU吸引的学生行业背景和就业地理位置都相当的集中，Duke非常的多样并且分散。两者风格差别这么大，不应该有什么犹豫。既然你的背景和职业目标是做金融，我觉得应该选择NYU，好像没啥可说的吧。
NYU对某些人是不亚于M7的选择，地位很高，但对于另外某些人是根本不会考虑申请的，因为不fit，所以也就没什么特别感觉。
你在这个论坛上问基本没什么意义，因为你要比回帖者了解的多，能同时拿到两者录取，至少说明你已经经历这个过程并且做了不少研究了，对于自己到底想要什么，也只有你自己最清楚。

NYU>>Duke

可以确定一点，你要是去了Duke，更有可能去pharma/medical公司总部做financial management。
其他方面，我觉得NYU更好。

Duke is a very well rounded school stronger in General Management and Marketing, NYU is one of the best Finance schools. It will not be a tough choice at all. Go to Duke if your career goal is Consulting, GM, healthcare or entrepreneurship, Go to NYU if your targets are IB, PE, luxury brand marketing, etc.

Well at the moment I am leaning towards NYU and I want to hear your thoughts to help me convince myself.

But it's location and network is probably more helpful to those who choose IB/PE/VC route . I think I will stick to a finance career in MNC, or consulting then back to MNC then CFO route. So I am concerned if I will click with the type A and competitive IB students at NYU. Maybe Duke's program is more general and the students are more laid back? It also appears that NYU's ranking is on a rising trend while Duke is falling for the past decade. But it seems their reputation among top program deans and recruiters are about the same. NYU Stern just welcomed a new dean and a Nobile prize professor, both from Stanford. Duke was my safty choice when I applied to MBA (look how many admits have reported on CD alone) and I never thought I would hesitate on my decision but here I am...please share more thoughts

没什么好选的，当然NYU啦

作者: mopton 时间: 2010-4-23 11:10
难易程度->NYU...

NYU居然一边倒的大获全胜！Duke混得怎么这么惨呢？

仅仅是路过，感叹一下~~

关键是楼主已经说明了他的背景和职业目标是金融了，这就已经挺明显了。
如果是我，因为我对GM和Entrepreneurship感兴趣，我肯定选择Duke，楼主这种情况，NYU当然更好了。

楼主看看这两个，我觉得说的比较有道理。这里的人，很多就是顺嘴一说，甚至很多没申请的人或者本科在校生。祝好运！

楼主没说要金融，楼主很明显是要做corporate的财务

作者: royzhujian 时间: 2010-4-23 15:18
我觉得这两个差不多的，公司内部的财务什么时候和华尔街的工作等同起来了。。。晕阿
其实如果真的只想留在美国的工业公司里面的话，说不定duke更好呢
你这情况应该去了解下在能源公司的校友情况，其实你应该去Texas的

Thanks for the comments. I will probably give the big apple a chance and it will offer me more opportunities in return. I am impressed by the Career Development Center at NYU and I think students can usually find good internships. The location is so integrated into the city and Durham can't compete with that. Once I decide on NYU I'll withdraw from Duke and hope it will bring luck to some waitlisters there.

lz has a very clear post MBA career goal.

I think both schools have their advantages for coporates career.
Alumni network wise, I guess Duke has more edges for it focuses in GM, while the location of Stern opens more doors as many F500s have their headquarters or big offices in NY.

Check out the employment report of recent years, find out which one attracts more MBA recruiters of your target companies.

I have colleagues from the two schools（German and US guys). Both are very nice and smart. The learning experience would be great in both.

苹果和鸭梨，你说哪个好。

我说鸭梨好，呵呵

喜欢哪里就去哪里，反正出来重新找工作都很难。

作者: 逸水 时间: 2010-4-24 13:14
if choose consulting, Blue devil is definitely better. Only 13 school on the core list, Stern is not one of them, while Fuqua is.

作者: cornflake 时间: 2010-4-24 14:31
在不在core school，对拿到公司面试有多大影响呢？申请都是网上递交的吧，有招聘会上申请的么
