You’re going to get a lot of differing opinions on this (and I know you’ve posted about this before) but I would suggest OSU, with Miami being second. Full disclosure, I went to OSU. I say this for two reasons: first, there are a number of people from OSU every year who make it into the roles you mentioned. It’s not a walk in the park and will take real effort, but it’s far from impossible. It’s not like Ross has a 100% placement rate and OSU has 0%. There’s a gap, but it’s not drastic. Second, there will be people that tell you to take on the debt because you could easily pay it off with in a couple years with an IB salary. I would be careful there; while you seem set on working in finance, the truth is lots of people change their major and goals in college when they get to try out and experiment with different subjects. You certainly don’t want to take on $150k in debt thinking you’ll be making the big bucks when you have a change of heart and decide to become a geologist.

 

Their placements are about in line with the OSU or Miami programs. Can't find any info on UofSC.

Honestly, it's a crapshoot from all of these schools. It’s not worth 30k of debt.

The delta in placements is enormous between Ross and the other schools. That said, I still don’t think it’s worth 150k. Go to OSU or Miami.
