Notes:

Want to end up in NYC post-MBA so am trying to determine whether CBS/NYU would give me a significant advantage over Ross for recruiting/roles, and if it would be worth giving up the $$$$. Planning to explore roles in brand/product strategy in retail. Do recruiters prioritize CBS/NYU students for NYC roles over other schools?
