You sound like a hardo I think Berkeley would be a better fit.
I’m an east-coaster and might want to work in NYC. What advantages do you think Berk has over Ross?
UMich if NY IB for sure. Berkeley for SF IB for sure.
Michigan is better for NYC and Chicago. Berkeley for West Coast. Though, Ross may be the safer choice since you have to apply for Haas and might not get in.
Don't underestimate the fact that you have to apply to Haas to get in and may not get in compared to Ross where you it's a four-year program and you're safe.
What is JMPC?
JP Morgan Chase
Shouldn't that be JPMC instead of JMPC?
Both great schools. I’d choose Michigan for NY IB.
Ross is best for IB
