UMich Ross or Northwestern?

I am accepted to both schools for undergrad. Overall I like the campus of Michigan more than Northwestern. I am hoping to make it to MBB after graduation. What do you guys think about both schools?

I don’t think you can go wrong with either choice so I’d go with the school you like more.

Northwestern is the “better” school overall and will have stronger placements MBB wise. That being said, Ross and UMich are more enjoyable and you’ll have more flexibility. Ross is a much bigger feeder into finance and UMich is a stronger STEM school so you’ll have more optionality.
