Is UVa Comm schoop better than Baruch Zicklinn?
I got into both Zicklin School At Baruch and McIntire School at UVa as a transfer from a community college in New York. I am a resident of NY and at Baruch, the cost is $8k a year whereas at UVa the cost of attendance is $21k (both after aid) . Both the BS in Comm program & Baruch is a two-year program. UVa gave me a scholarship of $64k out of its $85k out-of-state cost of attendance. Is UVa worth it over Baruch? Which is a good deal between this two?
I want to work in IB or big companies like Google, Facebook, or Uber.
Thank you!
I'm so confused by your UVA aid numbers. Is cost 21k after factoring in the scholarship?
I went to Baruch so I can give advice about that school, but I don't know much about UVA and whether or not it justifies the 42k expense (please do your research).
Baruch:
I will try to clear your confusion about UVa aid. I am a resident of NY so UVa charged me out-of-state tuition which in total is $85k per annum including tuition and fees room and board. UVa offered me an institutional scholarship/grant of $64k per year meaning I have to pay $21k yearly tuition fees and other costs like room and board etc ($85k-$64k=$21k). I am settled in Brooklyn NY so I will commute to Baruch just like I commuted to BMCC. I took all the Zicklin pre-req classes at BMCC so I will only take major classes and electives at Baruch, my major is finance. I hope this clears any confusion
Dude this is not even a question. UVA Comm blows Baruch out of the water. Please do not choose Baruch. 40k in debt is not that much and totally sustainable to pay off. Baruch is a no name cuny school while UVA is arguably one of the best public schools in America.
Homie please change your username and not mention which community college you’re at.
McIntire student here. I can't speak to Baruch, but there are an insane amount of opportunities here and fun to be had. MM/BB/EB IB all recruit here, MBB + T2 recruits here if you're interests change as well. I cannot say enough good things about the social scene here, tons of things to do every weekend whether it be frats, bars, house parties, or any other of the variety of things to do around Charlottesville. I absolutely love it here and i'm sure you will too. TBH I think it would be foolish to go to Baruch given this opportunity.
How is the course rigor? I am considering to major in finance. Is it possible/doable to graduate with a 4.0 GPA?
UVA Alum. I think I have a unique perspective as I transferred to UVA from Baruch. I am begging you man please transfer to UVA. Baruch does not have anywhere near the resources UVA has. There is no OCR at Baruch, the alumni network is extremely limited, and the quality of classes is erratic due to bad professors and low funding. UVA was a much better experience for me socially, academically and greatly helped me secure my banking offer. I would ignore the monetary difference and choose uva.
This weird obsession with a 4.0… Get a 3.7+ from UVA and you’re competitive for pretty much any finance or consulting job
Hi, thank you for the informtaion. Would you mind sharing how the BS in Commerce program is in there in terms of rigor and is it easy to maintain a 4.0 GPA at Comm school?
easier to maintain a 4.0 at UVA than at Baruch. Baruch has 0 resources or outside help. The classes at Baruch, particularly the upper-level finance and accounting, have brutal curves and terrible professors. I found getting good grades at UVA much easier because the quality of the faculty was better.
Do bulge bracket IBs like GS or JPM and fortune 500 companies recruit from McIntire?
Yes, you don't even have to be in McIntire though.
Can I get recruited if I graduate from the Zicklin School of Business?
