40k a year? Not a chance.
40k total? If you want buyside out of college then yes go to UVA. If you are happy with UBS/Citi level banking just go to BC.

40k more overall, not sure what I want exactly, very open to consulting/product management. Prestige doesn’t really matter as long as I can exit into a well paying job later on (like 200-500k ideally).
BC and UVA are not very different. Many kids in both places go to top BB and end up in top PEs. If you're talking about HYPs then yeah go pay an extra 40k.
Yeah with that 2% acceptance rate last year I wish :,), good to know BC isn’t that far off. It’s always listed as a semi target while UVA is a target.
Would you say pay a $40k a year difference for UVA over UMD?
