<p>I was just accepted into Boston College's Carroll School of Management (Honors program) but received no financial aid. I also got into Cornell''s business program (AEM) which, for a NYS resident, is 33k (versus the 50k for BC). </p>
<p>Any opinions on which is the better value? Is BC worth the extra 17k a year?</p>
<p>If you ask me, I would choose Cornell AEM over BC Carroll, even without considering the tuition.</p>
<p>Agreed. I think Cornell AEM is a much better deal overall (of course you are on the Cornell board).</p>
<p>if your looking into i-banking then you should pick cornell because Cornell is recruited very heavily by top i-banks</p>
<p>Is this a serious comparison? BC is a good school, and Carroll is a good business school, but AEM is one of the best business schools at one of the best universities in the world. Furthermore, with the money consideration, it's a no-brainer. Unless you hate the idea of living in Ithaca...</p>
<p>I agree with all of the above; I applied to both as well but Cornell is undoubtedly better, especially with recruiting. I'm working at Goldman Sachs this summer and from what I've seen, there's a huge Cornell alumni base at all of the top banks. My director @ gs is a cornell alumni as well...</p>
<p>LOL. nobody would choose to attend Boston College over Cornell for 13k more a year. Many people would probably choose to go to Cornell over BC even if Cornell costs 13k more a year, the other way around. I agree with other posters. This is really a no brainer at all. Cornell.</p>
<p>BC is one helluva a school itself. It's in Boston, so recruiting is going to be pretty damn good as well.</p>
<p>Whatever your heart wants.</p>
<p>Cornell AEM without a doubt... for reasons mentioned above.</p>
<p>Besides, if you're a NY Jets fan think about having to deal with all the pesky Pats fans every day in your classes, social outings and interviews.</p>
<p>Go to BC and let the rest of us go to Cornell</p>
