W&L vs transfer to Vanderbilt vs spring transfer to USC vs UCL (UK)
I just finished my freshman year at W&L.
I decided to roll the dice again at these top schools. I have good stats, so I was pretty bummed when I didn't have more options last year. Well, now I have options and I need to choose. These are they:
Stay at W&L: stay on the sports team and study econ. I'm not in a frat (70% are) and half the kids here want a business related degree. Of those I feel like half want IB.
Transfer to Vanderbilt: study econ and spanish, possibly get a business minor. I wouldn't play a sport there (I'm D3 material, not D1), nor would I be a part of a frat.
Spring transfer to USC (Marshall): I'd go back to W&L for one semester and then transfer to USC for the second semester. I would major in business in Marshall, and possibly Spanish.
UCL: this is in the UK, so I'd be spending a couple years after graduation here. I do want to return to the US at some point, however.
I have no idea what to do. Please help me decide.
I would call each school this week & get someone on the phone from Career Services or w/in the Department of your specific major for that school. I'd ask them directly what the average starting salary for the average grad from Vandy w/Econ, USC Marshall, UCL, etc. They'll have that info & it will be more current & accurate than what you find on the internet. You might also ask how many people w/in that degree get jobs in IB, BB, consulting, etc. Also, you might ask how many people graduate w/that degree from each school each year. You seem to know this already w/W&L. With USC, you'll have to state your expected concentration at Marshall. The schools will know what their placement rate is, and the schools won't lie about the avg salary.
Make a chart: Avg Salary, # of Grads w/your Degree, Placement %, Cost of Tuition, Housing, etc.
You'll probably get more info on the value of the schools' alumni networks from others on WSO.
