Urgent School choice- Villanova University, Fordham University, William & Mary, Boston University
Hi everyone,
I am currently a freshmen and want to transfer to another school and plan on going into investment banking/private equity. I would be an incoming sophmore. I could wait another year and shoot hire, but I don't want to transfer next year because I don't know how this COVID-19 thing might play out (could lead to an increase in number of transfer applicants and cost) and I want to establish my self at a school. My options are the following-
Fordham University(gabelli)- 24k a year, but I would have to commute (which I don't mind if its the better option)
Boston University(questrom)- 32k a year
Villanova University(CLAS/ECON)- 30k a year( I really like this school, but I would be an econ major in the college of arts and science. I can't apply to transfer to the business school, but I might be a able to double major although I would have to apply. I can also get a minor in business)
William & Mary(business school)- 38k a year
Lehigh University(business school)- waitlist
I am kind of leaning towards Villanova because I really like the school (atmosphere/campus/alumni) and even if I can't do the double major in business I can do a minor in business with a double major in something else like math or political science. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks for your help!
Hmmm if you were in at the biz school at Villanova that would be an easy pick for IB. Really it comes down to Fordham or Villanova. The things that sucks about Villanova is not being in the business school. I would think at a lower semi/non target like Villanova, you need to be in the business school. So, I would assess your chances to transfer to the biz school there. If you think it is not feasible I would go for Gabelli and just network your ass off.
