Greek Student Requires Advice for MBA in NY !!!!?

Question

Hi guys!!

I've just been accepted to Hofstra and St. John's MBA programs. I am interested in financial services and would realy like to hear some advice of which of the two to choose.

I still wait answers from Baruch and Fordham.What about them?
Any advice would be valuable since i cannot find any information in Greece about them.

I know they are not like NYU or Columbia, but my pocket is not that deep.either my credentials, since i am just graduating from my university.The only thing so far that "pushes" me to St. John's is its location in Manhattan.

What about their work prospects?
I know i ask too much but i really need advise!!!!
Thanks in advance everybody!!!!

Answer 1

Hi,

I have an MBA from Stern. Your MBA is really what you make of it. I would personally lean towards Fordham. My feeling is that its a few notches above Baruch (not that Baruch is bad).

Work prospects, it really depends. Getting into an investment banking or asset management type position right off the bat will be tough, because the banks are all packed with ivy league and other top MBA grads. Each school has its own "recruiting team" within the banks. So, for example, the Stern grads will go to Stern to recruit current students. That said, I would have to think Fordham probably has a good Career Services office as well as a good alumni office. Before you settle on a school, I would go to visit them and really find out and ask questions about their career services and alumni connections. Basically, if you can network with some alumni that are in the right places and convince one to take a chance on you, there's a good chance you can get into a bank for a summer internship, which will really be your gateway into a full time position.

Ok, sorry if my answer has a little of everything. If you want, email me and I can give you more info.

Good luck.
