HELP!!! College Decision Please

Hi, I got into USC Marshall and NYU College of Arts and sciences for economics. I also got into UCLA for econ ( which does not have a business school). I plan on doing Social Entrepreneurship minor in Stern and will definitely look towards joining business clubs/orgs in all schools. I might try to transfer to Stern internally but im not sure how easy that is. I am looking towards management/consulting/ not exactly 100% sure. Cost wise both are same. I am from the west coast and Im not picky about which coast I end up in. The cost of attendance is not an issue. USC I am not sure if the vibe is something I very much enjoy, but not too bad. UCLA vibe I love and NYU falls somewhere in the middle. Which one would be better? I have to choose by Friday.

If you head to NYU and want to get into IB, you may be at a disadvantage compared to Stern UGs. Not a big deal, but you will have to work harder. UCLA may be better, especially since you say you love the vibe. Regardless, check out LinkedIn to trace alumni career paths.
