Have gotten into UMich LSA (Ross reject), BU Questrom, IU Kelley, NEU D'amore-mckim.

Cost not an issue, neither is location.

Which would you pick and why?? Not set on IBanking/Wall street, but want greatest flexibility in career.

from my understanding, career flexibility would be best out of NEU. tons of opportunities to get work experience in different industries through their co-op program. also, due to my many personal ties to NEU, i know is a school where your major does not trap you to a single career path. i’ve seen many kids in the “business admin and econ” major go on to work at BCG, Bain Capital, or at startups, in project/product management, and many other fields. to my knowledge, this same principle applies to the other majors within the business school as well.

furthermore, NEU places phenomenally anywhere in the greater-boston area due to its local reputation, and is widely recognized due to its expansive alumni network. worth considering also is its close proximity to the many industries in boston, which will allow you to have diversified immersion into business at the university before you even graduate, or leave the city.

while this is all important, remember you can not only pick a school based on its job placement/reputation. i am torn between my two top choices, and i was initially leaning towards the more prestigious, higher-performing school. but, now i am leaning towards the other option, because i see myself as great fit in that environment, with those students. hope this helps man!
