Fordham Gabelli Lincoln Center vs University of Florida

Thinking about IB front office and I received enough scholarship money that Fordham Gabelli and UF are both possibly affordable.

UF would be free for me, and Fordham $15K.

I'm appealing my scholarship from Fordham to try to get more so that its the same price as UF.

I also got into Lehigh, Penn State Smeal, IU Kelley, FSU Honors, U of SC Capstone, SMU, Rutgers, and Stetson.

I got money from IU, U of SC, and Stetson, but I don't think I'd consider them because it would be too much.

FSU Honors would also be the same price as UF, but I'd much prefer UF.

I can see myself at Fordham and UF, as SEC and NYC are both amazing experiences for me.

Any thoughts are appreciated, just trying to get some insight.

I got into Fordham Gabelli last year and had to appeal my aid as well. They only gave me $1000 more so I didn't end up going there. It would be way better to go to UF since you wouldn't have to worry about finances too much. As long as you put in the work, you'll be able to get an internship pretty fast.
