College decisions
Hi All, I have just gotten accepted into Florida State university, which is around 10k cheaper than OSU and 20k cheaper than IU. I still have not received scholarship from either FSU or IU, but I am assuming that I will get a decent scholarship from both. Do you think there is enough value at florida state where it is considered a “worse” school but is considerably cheaper to the point where I should go there? And, is it good enough for me to be able to line up internships and a good job in public accounting or consulting during and after school.
Thanks
Ur choices are essentialy FSU vs OSU, IU doesn't seem competetive given its lower reputation nationally. In terms of comparing FSU and OSU, in the end I don't think it makes a difference. Both are decent schools, solidly mid-tier, FSU has a lot of internationals and rich kids with connections which means some break into Finance etc (certainly more than other schools at its tier), it's also in Miami which has a good amount more Finance Consulting companies that Ohio. However, the important point is that Consulting is generally less connection based, as well as accounting for the most part. So what you need to look at is the pipeline between your college and the companies that recruit from it. OSU definetly has a solid pipeline given their big business school, however regionally FSU probably has an advantage to the companies you want to work at. All in all, these are both schools which look very similar to a recruiter on a resume. The differentiation is which place do you think you'll be able to pad that resume the best, think about which will be easiest to get internships/club leadership etc. at.
I absolutely disagree with this take. I would 100% take IU. If you want to to break into BB, IU is a better option than both. If you are not doing direct admit to Kelly, most people don’t have too much trouble transferring in later on. If you can go from Kelly into the IB workshop, then you are in an even better situation where a lot of kids place BB and even EB in Chicago and NYC. Of all these options, IU+Kelly is really the only one considered a target by most metrics.
Ur definitely right for IB and HF, but this questions is about consulting and IU doesn’t place nearly as well in consulting as it does for Finance
I think IU still places better than the other two in consulting and since he also mentioned public accounting, I think IU Kelly is still the better choice. I think it really comes down to how much he wants to spend.
True but also have to take into account regional competitiveness. Sure IU Kelley may overall place better for public accounting and consulting however proportionally how many more IU student are competing for those positions ? OSU and FSU holds similar weight for regional positions - Cleveland + Atlanta. Overall, when taking into account the higher tuition - I really don’t think IU is worth the extra $20k a year - it just isn’t providing that much more value compared to the other schools for this guy specifically
Yeah, I think it really depends on what this guy classifies as a “good job” if he means like Big 4 or MBB and is dead set on a top job in NY or Chicago then I could justify IU but if he’s looking to work anywhere in the south that’s considered “good” then probably FSU is more worth his money. On the topic of IU having more competition, it probably also has a lot of positions also open for Kelly kids but I’m not entirely familiar with how well OSU and FSU place.
Let’s not act like the bottom 75-85% of IU isn’t placing pretty much the same as FEU, OSU. $20k extra a year for the possibility of getting a better outcome combined with having to be the top of your class is not a good deal by any means.
bruh you did not just confused FSU with UM...
