College Decisions! Do I go with the bird in the hand or the two in the bush?
Hello Monkeys, I am a senior in highschool who will be committing to university within the week. My options right now are Villanova School of Business (60k), UMD Smith (30k), and OSU Fisher (30k). I have also been waitlisted to UVA and Notre Dame which I would also highly consider if accepted.
I am undecicive and am looking for advice and reccomendations during this time as I plan the next chapter of my life. What would be the best school in terms of academics, finance recruiting, and value? What path would prepare me most for future success?
Thank you so much
Congratulations on your acceptances - you have some great choices here. I'm sure you'll get lots of great advice regarding each of these schools and recruiting, so I just want to leave this here - you may or may not find it helpful!

Sbd hopefully this will gain some traction
What's your story, why do you call it university and not college like most of us who would be applying to those schools would?
I’m an American highschooler in the northeast. Sorry I may have confused some with my wording.
I have always been interested in finance, and aim to one day have a job in ER, PM, IB, or PWM. I am a 4.0 student with many Ecs, but as nondiversity I was kinda shafted this year from many colleges. I just want to get an opinion from someone else as I do not know many people or students in the industry.
Ok, but why did you post your follow up reply from a different account than your original post? And why did you say that you're an American high schooler? Nah, no American high schooler would would ever describe himself as an American high schooler. So what's your deal? What are you getting out of this? I'm interested in this market for bananas.
Bro this is my first post ever I tried to make a burner as but I realized I would have to keep replying
Alright, say something only an American would say.
Rootin tootin ready for shootin
anyway I’m really just looking for advice. Imma leave this forum open and come back tomorrow
From what I’ve heard UVA is the strongest in this realm but Villanova is nothing to turn your nose at. I heard acceptances to the business school were sub 5% this year.
Is Villanova relevant still?
How does UMD play into the mix?
Obligatory uva alum here but many of my classmates had offers right out of school. Def consider if you are certain you can get into McIntire.
Like poster above, the use of university is really distracting me. This may be a bot. Or a very pretentious midwesterner??
I say go Ohio St and go to UVA or ND if taken off the waitlist. I think Fisher is slightly stronger than Maryland and would be a lot more fun to attend.
If you love Nova by all means go, but it won’t give you a huge leg up recruiting. Know a handful of people that have done very well for themselves but they still struggled to break in coming out of there.
Does Smith hold weight in the the Baltimore or Dc region? If not go to UVA
Is the tuition $ you listed per year or for your entire degree?
I have never heard of the other two, so I would accept Villanova and then hope the two real schools on your waitlist accept you.
