Left NYC about a month ago, but I would say you should look for 2 convert 3 instead of true 3, IBD analyst won't get much time to see thier home anyway...

Don't expect rent to decrease, especially now when it's summer and everyone is finding a new place and new graduates are moving in.

A friend of mine is a broker, I can pm you his detail if you're interested. Also be realistic about everyone's budget, are all 3 of you going to be in IBD (doesn't sound like it since one starts in Sept.), is everyone paying the same? If you do a 3 convert to 2 I think 3.5K is quite possible, though probably need to be something like 1st/2nd ave.

I think one place you can try is Stuyvesant Town at that range if they allow you to convert 2 to 3. As far as money goes I think best deal within Manhattan is still in financial district, though you probably will hate the area to be honest, and unless you work for GS or DB, it's probably quite a bit commute to everyone else. Another one place you can try is east side beyond 96th st., yes it's far, and yes it's pretty close to Harlem, but you can find some new high rise for decent price, and I lived on 110 once, not as bad as people thought..., I know I was being a cheap ass for my first year back then
