Mccombs vs Stern Undergrad URGENT
I realize that a lot of high school students ask the same type of stuff here so I'll keep it short. I was accepted to both for undergrad business (non-honors at UT). No financial aid for either, Mccombs is 25k and Stern is 80k. Both environments are great, I like both of the campuses (love NYC), nothing about their environments are what I'm worried about.
All I care about at this point are my chances of getting an NYC BB IB analyst position out of undergrad. Are the chances of getting the job I want after graduating from Stern so much higher than that of UT that it justifies an additional 55k a year? I know that there are people who get to NYC from Mccombs, but I'm pretty sure it's limited to 20 kids, and considering that I'm not in the honors program, my chances seem even smaller.
As far as anything else goes, I don't want to work in Texas after college (I hate Houston), my family can afford both schools (NYU will be tough, however), and for now, I am set on pursuing a career in IB. I have 2 days to respond to NYU, feel free to PM me for more details or if you went to one of these schools.
nyu stern congrats!

I'm well aware that Stern is objectively better when it comes to IB placement, I'm looking for opinions on whether that is worth the difference in cost.
Look, Stern is stronger and has much better placement, but a 50k annual price difference amounts to 200k in four years. If you can fund that without taking loans, do it, but if not, go to McCombs. This is far too much debt for undergrad.
From what I've gathered, it seems that being in the honors program at UT is important for getting into the relevant clubs, as well as recruiting. There is an option to enter the program after freshman year, but it is difficult (1-5 people out of 100-200 applicants).
I will echo what everybody else said: if money is not a factor, then go to Stern 100%. If money is a factor, I'd probably go McCombs, sure it's not as strong of a target as Stern, but still a good program, nonetheless. Congratulations again on your admissions!
55k a year is way too much. imagine you spend an extra 200k an not even get a BB IB gig - wasted. or you could just work your ass of at UT to get a BB IB gig - 200k saved.
Go to stern. Almost no BB NY OCR at McCombs. Targeted by a few EBs.
If money truly does not matter - I would go to UT Austin. You'll have to work a little bit harder but can no doubt break into NYC IB. If I were you I would take the money and run. Even if the money doesn't matter - why pay more if you can get to the same spot for less unless the name of the school is important to you?
I'd also bet UT Austin is probably one of the first schools that is recruited for Texas IB and you can always make the move to NYC afterwards either internally or laterally. I went to Stern but had I been presented with the same choice, I probably would have taken the money.
