Help for Choosing Undergrad
Hello Everyone,
I was recently admitted to three schools for undergrad and would love to hear from other WSO users on which to choose from. Hoping to work in New York after college (maybe Boston but mainly NYC Metropolitan Area), ideally in IB or PE. Still deciding between Colgate, William and Mary, and University of Rochester. While I can only do econ at Colgate instead of finance/business/financial economics at UR and W&M, I feel like the alumni connections and prestige of Colgate will help more with recruiting, especially in the NYC or Boston area. Lmk your thoughts and thank you for your help.
Spot on. Definitely Colgate. Congrats
Hoping to bump this - I am really just choosing between Colgate and William & Mary now. I am out-of-state so ignore cost as a factor. W&M's coursework seems much more finance centered (would graduate with a B.B.A in Finance and an accounting concentration, with courses such as Corporate Valuation, Advanced Investments, and Derivates & Risk Management). This stands in contrast to just an economics degree from Colgate. Will employers prefer to see that my coursework was more finance heavy, or will Colgate's regional prestige help more? Again, I would like to work IB in the Northeast. Thank you and please let me know your thoughts.
