UChicago vs Georgetown vs Ross vs NYU Stern

Hey guys. I've been pretty stuck trying to decide where to go. I heard Chicago is deathly difficult to do well in. Most of my friends say Chicago but I went for an admitted student event and I didn't like the vibe (didn't seem like my type of crowd). Any insight that could make the decision easier. Also, Chicago will be cheaper for me but that isn't really a priority for me. Gtown seems like an obvious second option but the environment at Michigan will be unmatched.

 

This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I'd pick Michigan by a long shot. All of these schools will make banking at the best banks extremely attainable if you're a solid candidate, but have very different social climates. Michigan is by far the most fun of a place to be at out of the four.

 

Went to a summer school at UChicago in junior summer, ended up not applying there for undergrad, currently studying at one of your options here. Despite they have pretty good humanities resources, I’ll say that as someone who’s not so interested in academic discussions and seminars, I had nothing to do there, and the food sucks, at least for my dorm. And also their economic classes are quite solid, but I will rather choose some easy finance instead…
