I think I'm in a position to talk about NYU Poly being a current student here. Firstly, I would like to clear up certain things. Contrary to what someone mentioned, there is no access to Courant's career services AFAIK. You have access to Wasserman which is NYU's career services and they're really good/they know what they're doing and what they need to do. You can also take courses at Courant or Stern if you have a high GPA. Poly is fully consolidated into NYU and you are treated like NYU's own. I have attended 2 career fairs and things did look decent. Employers are enthusiastic about FE students. As of now, I know one friend (given that I joined in spring and know very few) who got into a very big IB for summer internship. Others are interviewing and I will let you guys know once I do.

Most big names recruit from Poly BUT you need to be good. There is no slack they'd cut for you. Morgan Stanley, S&P, E&Y, etc. are others that are interviewing on-campus right now. (S&P - Rating Services, E&Y - Risk Advisory Group, MS - not sure/dont know) Other big names post openings on Wasserman website and conduct interviews off-campus. Most graduates also work for start-ups and other investment management houses. Please understand that there are a hell lot of companies out here for you to work at. Being in NY is a huge advantage (obviously) and let me tell you why. 70% of the jobs in NY are either directly or indirectly related to finance. So if you have done FE and are looking for a tech role, you will have opportunities. If you're interested in analytics, you will have opportunities. I mean, yes, given that your interviews go well.

Poly is NOT a bigger brand than Columbia or Baruch when it comes to FE. Do keep in mind that for every job out there, at least one application from the bigger names goes in too. So you're directly competing with them.

The department has some fabulous professors. You will learn a lot. You will get lost in the plethora of knowledge the curriculum has to offer if you're unsure about what you want or where you see yourself working.

Also, I think that the fee at Poly is less compared to many other colleges (except Baruch - they charge about 31k which is awesome). Most of the students who apply are really good and they're offered tuition waiver. For me, it was costing 35K and if I perform well in my first year, there could be another 4.5k dollar reduction in my third. This was a very important factor for me as I did not want to burn my parents' pockets.

I'm not in a position to compare UIUC and UW CFRM with Poly. I did hear that UW is doing a fair job in placing their students but I do not know the veracity of this information. Please contact them and they will let you know if they're willing to share them with you.

P.S.
1. There is no past placement data that I can give you guys. The department doesn't collect any. This could change in the near future (read: don't know when).

2. Expect the application procedure to be tougher than previous years. Be early.

3. Whatever questions you might have, call the admissions co-ordinator and ask. Don't make decisions after reading through posts like these. This is just to get you some oil to have that chain of thought burning.

4. Don't assume. You just have to 'Quantnet' a lot.

5. Don't inbox me asking for placement stats from previous years. If I had the excel, I would have shared it with all of you.

Good luck everyone. Happy applying and waiting!
