Full Ride to Mendoza or Full Ride to JHU
Hello everyone!
My brother was recently accepted into the Mendoza Business School at Notre Dame. We expect (very likely) for him to receive a full ride or close full ride. But he also wants to apply to JHU Early Decision since it's close to home and the city has some small asset management boutiques. Which school is more worth it? He wants to be in S&T or AM, likes both campuses, professors, students, and the vibe. And yes, I am that guy who has a brother who prefers JHU lol
dffffff
How about the Ivies and Georgetown?
Georgetown would honestly be better than JHU
What exactly would he be getting a full ride for? Those schools do not give out very much if any merit scholarships. ND has a few but that is a long shot.
Im just wondering because you seem so certain about a full scholarship.
Need-based aid with outside scholarships that he earned
ND for sure. Having an undergrad business school is a necessity for "good" non-ivy schools in my opinion. I'm sure JHU has alumni at respectable firms but it would just be a lot harder to navigate without the structure of on-campus recruiting
ND
ND has a very respectable business school that places well and a super supportive alumni base. JHU is an amazing overall school, but it's not finance focused and recruiting for S&T or AM from there would be challenging.
Now if your brother wants anything medical related and to double major in econ, that's a different story, but since he appears to be finance focused with S&T/AM in mind, would suggest ND.
I'm assuming this is for undergrad and not graduate school.
Best of luck!
Went to Hopkins a while ago and echo that if your brother is deadset on finance, he should go to ND where he can study finance and be more immersed in a business culture.
Hopkins is a better "school", but that that doesn't really matter if your goal is going into finance and not getting a PhD, and the OCR from ND will be better because there is more interest and alumni. Hopkins in my view also does not do a great job at helping students develop the soft skills that are important in these jobs (yes even in AM) and the culture is intensely focused around academics to the detriment of career planning. I and most of my friends with jobs in finance now came in thinking they were going to be doctors or in another part of STEM.
There will probably be more academic rockstars at Hopkins, but they will overwhelmingly go into Medicine or pursue other advanced STEM degrees - don't quote me as this could have just been my (STEM) department, but I think I saw something like 50+% of the school goes to grad school right after undergrad it's probably one of the highest in the country for that. At ND, the standouts are more likely to go into finance or go to law school, and the culture is likely to be a bit more rounded, so there is likely to be more like minded people there that your brother can talk to about stocks.
Hopkins was great for me and changed my life for the better, but if your brother likes both, he should choose the school that will more easily immerse him in the area he wants to study
ND and JHU are not comparable for studying finance. JHU Business school is predominantly an appendage of medical school and plurality of profs focus on something medical related. ND fin profs are fin profs. Ok it is in Nowhere indiana , but still has better recruiting for AM and especially IB (obviously AM is more relevant). If it were me, I'd take ND.
