Undergrad UVA Vs Vanderbilt Vs CMC (Claremont McKenna)


Majors:

UVA : Apply to Mcintire, specialize in finance or something along those lines

Vandy: Economics, as they don’t have undergrad business programs

CMC: Ba in econ-accounting with a masters in finance (they offer a 4-year program)

Career Goals: Banking/VC/PE, with goal of ending up in some sort of AM, maybe hedge fund-type. Definitely want to pursue an MBA / CFA eventually.

I like UVA a lot, but it is pretty big (student wise and big classes) and is probably in my least favorite location, although C-Ville is still super nice. Vandy is highest in “ratings” and I really like their campus, but I’m not sure they have a great / applicable economics program that lends well to careers in finance which is want I want to pursue. CMC is very small and on WC so maybe less name recognition, but I really liked their campus (and consortium) and the 4 year ba/ma in finance seems like a big plus. Cost is not a huge issue, but overall I would be taking around 75k in loans for CMC and Vandy and 0$ for UVA. Any advice would be appreciated as I am very stuck- thanks!
