Is Cornell worth the extra 40k debt?
Hi I'm currently finishing my freshman year in CMU's Tepper school of business and last week I received my acceptance to Cornell University's Dyson school of business (undergrad). Cornell's financial aid came out last week and I was a bit shocked at how much I had to pay: 21k a year (out of 51k, so got 30k in FA). I only paid 7k a year in Tepper at CMU, and i believe my cmu aid letter will be relatively similar.
So Cornell will cost me 14k extra a year, meaning If i transfer to cornell this Fall 2017 I would be paying a total of ~40k extra for my undergrad business education if I attend Cornell. I live in NYC so bringing back a cornell AEM degree would certainly help me.
My career goals and aspirations? I've been thinking of: IB, S&T, operations management, or maybe financial consulting. I plan to double major in Biometry (applied math/stats) if i transfer to cornell, and at CMU double major in statistics.
I need advice deciding whether Cornell' AEM degree is worth 40k more total than CMU Tepper in the long run.
Thank you very much for reading
However, I'm not completely sure what i want dive into: finance, consulting, or operations. But I do plan to do something math or stat related, and I am looking to go to wall street for decent salary because of where I live and my interests.
Cornell may be better for "confused" ones. You can switch to Philosophy if it's as crazy as that may be, and that $ pays off long. CMU is a north star for quants no doubt
