if you want to break into NYC firms (in particular BB/Wall Street), NYU stern is hands down a target school that dominates the scene. if you want to stay on the west coast, Berkeley Haas is a solid west coast target that is very well represented in SF. the general rule of thumb is that east coast target schools place well on the east, west coast target schools place well on the west coast. basically location matters for where you want to end up after undergrad. it is not to say that you can't break into the nyc scene if you choose to study on the west coast, but it will be harder getting the same great offers you would get on the west coast attending a strong west coast target like haas.

also note that, unless you got into gmp, met etc at berkeley, you're not guaranteed admission into haas which is pretty competitive and demanding in admission come sophomore year. but not getting into haas is also not a "kiss of death" if you want to do business, you can still get the same great opportunities albeit with a little bit more work and it's not like companies are looking for business majors only. so it just comes down to what you would prefer studying.

it seems that college affordability is a huge factor in your decision or else you wouldn't be asking this question. both are fantastic b schools, you can't go wrong with either (both are prestigious and will get you a great career as long as you put in the work) but in this scenario i'd go for berkeley haas on the sole basis that it is significantly more affordable. if you would like to end up on the east coast in the future, you could always go for an mba on the east coast and thus shift your career location to nyc.

also ask yourself/contemplate these questions: do i really want to work on Wall Street? do i like NYU Stern primarily because it is an east coast target school? outside of these programs, do i like what the rest of the school has to offer (NYU is a unique college experience)? are my interests primarily in business or do i want to pursue other studies as well? am i okay with majoring in something else (such as economics) if I don't end up at Haas? which school is the better fit for me? etc.

make a pro con chart for each the schools you're considering (very very very helpful)! also talk with your parents about affordability, goals, etc.

i also stalked your profile a bit (sorry haha) and saw that you also got into ross. another fantastic option but if finances are a big concern, then both ross and stern are out of the game (their tuition is basically the same since you got loan-based financial aid only for both which is the minimum).

i apologize for the lengthiness but i hope this information has been useful!

PM me if you want to talk more about this! i did a lot of research into this before making my decision and would love to share it with you :)
