<p>Hey guys. This is my first post but I've been reading these boards for awhile and you've been very helpful. I have been accepted to 4 out of my 5 schools so for (still waiting on NYU). The four that I've been accepted to are Babson, Northeastern, BU and UMASS Amherst. I've practically eliminated Babson and NYU because of several different reasons. Now, I'm having a tough time deciding among the other three...</p>
<p>UMASS - Probably the last of the three in terms of academics but it will also cost me the least. I also got into their honors program which i was happy with. Lastly, at UMASS i will probably get to live on campus my entire 4.</p>
<p>BU - Probably the highest in the rankings out of all the three schools. I don't like how the campus is spread over Boston but I'll be probably living there for only a year (commuting for the rest). I will cost me about the same as NEU.</p>
<p>Northeastern - the only school that I've formally visited so far and i liked the campus. I also like the idea of co-op since it will help me to get a job after graduation and give me a head start on paying off my loans. I'm also optimistic about what i have read about it's effort to become a more competitive school. From what I've read, I think NEU will steadily rise in the rankings over the next couple of years and by the time I graduate it might be very close to BU in terms of rankings.</p>
<p>I'm planning on majoring in Business with a focus on Finance. Are any of these three schools better in this field than the rest? Which one would you recommend?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help...</p>
