Cornell vs. USC vs. Michigan
Hi guys - looking for some advice here. I was admitted to Cornell University (School of Hotel Administration,) University of Southern California Marshall School of Business (I was admitted as a Sping Admit,) and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business (Pre-Admit.) I am completely torn and would love to hear pros/cons of each program.
I am a high school student and was accepted into all of their undergraduate programs for the upcoming fall, (spring for USC.)
I plan to work in Investment Banking upon graduation, preferably in NYC.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Ross is a target school for most NYC banks (BB and EB). Ross/Stern/Wharton are consistently among the most represented schools for NY analyst classes.
Why no love for USC? Coming in as a freshmen at SC is going to give you the opportunity to hustle early into any region you want when it comes time for IB recruitment. We place in NYC, LA, SF, Asian Pacific, and any other place your heart might fancy working in. Concerning college life, you can't beat the weather or the culture. We just won the Rose Bowl, which was pretty dope if your into sports. Do you really want to live in Ithaca NY? I am from the Northeast and that place has long winters and little sunlight, but maybe your into that. We have an alumni network that is global and rivals the Ivies. Also, did I mention your going to be near downtown LA, which means two things. The night life is great if you get tired of on campus activities. Also, the internship opportunities especially during the school year are abundant. I have been working a spring and will be heading into a summer IB internship as a sophomore. You could probably get a PWM internship or maybe even a IB internship at a boutique freshmen year if you learn the industry. If you care to talk more about USC feel free to private message me. Enjoy the college process and you won't go wrong with any of these schools. Find the school that fits you the best because you are going to be there for four years and it will be the foundation of which you begin your professional career.
