USC Marshall vs. UVA vs. Berkeley (Econ?) vs. Michigan (Econ?)
I am looking for a career in business particularly management or finance. I've been accepted into USC Marshall, UVA, Michigan (not Ross), and Berkeley. I am unsure of which school to attend, and part of my indecisiveness stems from not knowing whether I would be accepted into McIntire (UVA), Haas (UCB), and Ross (UM).
From discussing with friends at these schools it seems reasonable for me to get into McIntire, but I am not sure about Haas. In addition I did not apply to Ross, only as an econ major at UM. (This year 80% of the applicants come in as Freshman, so it will be significantly harder to apply as a current UM student.)
I am wondering how far econ vs. business degrees will take me in the industry if I don't get into the business programs at UVA, UCB (and also comparing these to USC Marshall!). Which option would be the most suitable for me?
Thank you!!
Worrying about post college job prospects is very important when choosing a college (don't get me wrong) but it should not be the 'end all be all' to your University choice. Absolutely, you should go to a college that provides you the tools for prosperous future. Can you go wrong with any of the colleges you've listed? No. They all have very prestigious programs, and I've seen graduates succeed in finance from each school.
Focus more on attending a college where you can grow as a person, enjoy yourself, and have a life changing experience.
All that said, I'm a proud USC Trojan (Bio-premed and went into IB), so fair warning there's an inherent bias to my sales pitch. I had an amazing time at USC, and I have yet to meet an alumni who didn't. The school is academically prestigious, has an alumni presence second to none, hot girls, and awesome weather. Why freeze your little butt off back east, amiright?
Remember to work hard, grow as a person, and ask your sober friends if she's pretty. Fight On!
