Undergrad: UMICH vs UVA vs OSU
Hello I want to either work in corporate finance or IB and was wondering which school to attend. At Michigan I would be an economics major with 68k in debt. At UVA I would either be an economics major (51k in debt) or try for McIntire (71k in debt). At Ohio State I would be a finance major, but will be able to attend for free. I do not care where I work as long as it pays well. Thanks.
OSU. I’m a sophomore at Michigan and even I’d say so. Not worth the cost given that OSU has some placement into MMs every year. Get an MBA 3 years into your career from a T7 instead.
UVA - 50K over four years is nothing in the long run and OSU is a semi-target at best
I love when everyone one this forum acts like $50k in debt is NBD. So out of touch. "you're going into high finance bro, you're going to be a millionaire by 30 anyways"
... except maybe you hate high finance and quit after 2 years. Then that $50k in debt becomes more of a reality.
Take OSU... if you know you want IB before you even hit college, you should be more than fine.

The Wolverine in me is crying as I say this, but pick OSU. Michigan's econ majors are often given second looks after recruiters comb through Ross, and from discussions with OSU friends, it's evident that the UM Econ > OSU business recruiting advantage doesn't justify the costs.
I will point out that being in OSU will be a big damper on your chances to land BB/EB relative to the other two programs, but if you're really committed to IB, then you can realistically do MM --> BB in the ~2 years you're out of college.
I applied for a four year renewable scholarship in LSA. Which amount of debt would justify attending Michigan?
