Please Help- UIUC Finance (Gies) vs. OSU Finance (Fisher)
Hi everyone,
I am currently in a tough situation and I am deciding between 2 schools - Ohio State and UIUC. I am planning on majoring in Finance and hopefully working in consulting or a similar finance field such as banking or strategy when I graduate, as well as going to a great MBA school as my ultimate goal would be to work in management. UIUC is my home state, and the cost is around 39k per year and I did not receive any scholarships. However, I got a scholarship to OSU that would make it the same price, 39k, but cost isn't really a factor for me, thankfully. I just want to make sure I'm getting the best value for my money! I feel I'd enjoy OSU's sports & social scene better, but I know UIUC still has a great student life experience. I got in direct admit to business for both colleges. I don't mind where I work geographically as a grad, as long as it's a big city. Which school has better connections to companies/has better value overall for jobs/ sets me up better for MBA school? I know both aren't really target schools for IB/Big 3 consulting.
It's been really stressful just deciding between the two because they offer such different student experiences yet the outcomes on the website (salary, company recruiting) seems similar, so I wanted to ask those who have some experience with the industry and may have seen these schools presence in top companies.

Hi Snacker101, the silence is deafening, sorry about that.... Any of the threads below helpful?
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
this a joke? UIUC ofc. UIUC is a semi target and OSU is non target. Can still make finance from UIUC or even OSU if u put in the work tho.
