Deciding between Stern with a full ride or CBS with little/no financial aid, CBS is my top choice but would have to take out loans for the cost of attendance...worth it? Post MBA goal: tech or finance

If it’s tech then go with NYU as they have a strong tech program and tech for the most part cares less about prestige.

For finance, I’d slightly lean CBS because prestige matters more.

Take the full ride and save money. Or invest the 150k or whatever it would have been to go to CBS/use it to start a venture at school .

I feel like the $ would make sense...but do you plan to stick around in NYC after? I can see how the CBS network would have an edge in tech outside of NY, but feel like either would be great for finance or tech within NY.

As someone headed to CBS, I have heard that you can get scholarships second year if you do well in classes. If that helps in any way!

I do not - I think the most I’ve seen is on the website under their FAQ, but my friend got one

How are you still deciding? Didn’t you have to put deposit by now?

Agreed on location and yeah...totally didn’t expect any aid this late in the game!

Congrats on the offers OP! did you apply through GSAP program?

No GSAP, trying to get as far away from D as possible lol

NYU

Nyu especially for living in NYC, expenses will be greater than any other program. Take the money!

It would've been more debatable if it was a higher up M7.

I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
