Which school to go to for undergraduate degree?
Accepted as undergraduate to Cornell, Vanderbilt, USC, Berkeley, Northwestern, UVa, and NYU. I want to work as an investment banker or consultant. Probably want to end up working in Southern California. Going to try to get into a top top MBA program on the east coast after college. Looking for good intern/job opportunities. So which of these schools should I go to?
Oh, I also get half tuition covered at USC, at the other schools I'd be paying sticker price.
Are you from Southern California? If your ultimate goal is working in SoCal and you're not from the area, I would recommend going to USC or Berkeley. I would probably choose USC between the two - USC (Aside from having the privilege of your half-tuition covered) is a great school with great recruiting. I know many of the BBs and top consulting firms recruit from USC. In addition, you'll have no problem answering the, "Why California?" interview question. However, all of the above are GREAT schools, and I know people would kill to be admitted to just one of them. It all depends where you want to go, how you think you'll fit in, and where you believe you will succeed.
However, if you are from SoCal, you will also have no problem answering the, "Why California?" question. That being said, All the above are great choices, each with its own individual strengths and top-tier recruiting. Like I mentioned before hand, go where you think you will succeed and where you believe you will grow as an individual. Best of luck! And congrats on getting into these terrific schools. It's an amazing and exciting feeling!
