I have been breaking my head over choosing one over the other. I’d really appreciate any input that I can get. All three are great schools, but have certain advantages and disadvantages. My plan is the graduate with a bachelor, work for the government (alternatively go into banking right away) for a couple of years, get my masters and then work in banking.
UNC: I would choose this school, if it were not for the uncertainty of getting into the business program. I would hate myself, if I couldn’t get into the business program, when I had the option to go to another University and study business there.
USC: I really want to work on the east coast, but I think USC’s curriculum perfectly matches my current classes and I’d probably graduate the quickest. Additionally, I like the curriculum a lot.
BC: It seems like a school that would suit me well, but I don’t know if it’s worth to choose BC over UNC.
@Vincent1997
Congrats all super schools. You must have worked hard for the opportunities.
Did you get into Carroll school? If so and you want to work on east coast in govt or banking my opinion would be BC. If not it’s a toss up. My daughter got into BC and USC but chose USC for the weather . She also had honors college at UF and full scholarship. UF isn’t UNC but it’s a top 10 USNWR public uni like unc. It’s pretty close.
She is premed though not business. If she got into Carroll and not the other schools b schools it would be 100 percent BC
Also assuming costs are same or not part of your decision.
@privatebanker Thank you for your response! I do consider costs, but it’s not my main concern.
UNC–no guaranteed admit to business
USC- On the eest coast–you are interested in working on the East Coast
BC–On the east coast. If you can study business there, what is the downside?
@VAMom23 I’ve done quite some research about UNC vs. BC and it seems that most people hold UNC in higher regard. Things I hear are that BC has a lower salary, less exposure to wall-street and that it’s very localized around Boston. I am not sure how true those things are, which is why I am trying to get more input 
@Vincent1997 I asked so that you can help yourself reach a conclusion. That BC < UNC CH in business (based only on what you say) won’t matter if you don’t have a guaranteed admit. The admission stats for UNC’s business school are really low, so you are taking a risk. Do you have a back up major?
@VAMom23 I don’t have a backup major no. Maybe I am naive, but I don’t think 50% is that low. I mean the acceptance rate to UNC as a transfer is only 30%, which makes me think that if I made it into UNC, then I will make it into the business school. Then again, you’re right. I will be screwed, if I don’t get in and there is always a chance.
Unc is an excellent school. And seems like where you would like to attend. I’ve been there numerous times and think it’s a very nice place. Know a few grads and they are good kids and gainfully employed. But I have no idea where your stats are comming from regarding BC Carroll School of Management low pay and localized around Boston? That’s utter nonsense. Sorry. A large group of students stay in Boston because Boston is very attractive and New England despite the weather gets a hold of you. So yeah BC is big in Boston. Which also the educational capital of the world. The mutual fund capital, genetics reasesrch and pharmaceutical. And hot tech. And low pay. I could give you the list of superstar CSOM grads but that would be unnecessary.
Congrats on all the great options Best of luck at UNC and enjoy the great hoops too!
@privatebanker “Sorry” No need to apologize. I don’t feel targeted. I simple found people saying those things and hoped to get different opinions. Personally, Boston College is probably where I’d like to go the most. As far as social life, location etc… goes. I just don’t know whose opinion to believe. I am just trying to weigh the pros and cons. Any by the way my profile picture is only UNC, because I got rejected from UVA 
@simonlee7 I got into UNC. USC should be almost guaranteed. I have not heard from BC, but I think I have a good shot.
@Vincent1997 I think you are still waiting to hear from USC? Is that correct? Did you apply to Marshall? Are the other schools transfer decision’s out yet - have you been accepted into them and need to make a decision on one or the other right away? Point is I think the answer for now is BC or UNC - choose between them, then make it a choice between USC and that winner when the time comes. Comparing two at a time is easier so things don’t get jumbled in your head.
@CADREAMIN I got an SGR from USC/Marshall, but I have a 4.0 and will have a 4.0 again this semester. Only reason for the SGR was my calc class. I already paid a deposit for UNC, but I don’t really care about losing it.
East/west coast preference when you are done with school?
I would go to UNC as easily as UVA.

I hope you get into both USC and Bc. If you go to usc you can watch out for my daughter for me.
@privatebanker I appreciate all the information! I’ll let you know, if I go to USC haha
P.S. What does she think of social life there? I am sure there is lots to do, but is she ever able to “relax” and get personal space? I’ve seen the campus a few times and it’s beautiful, but it’s also very busy.
Sorry Vincent I don’t know. She’s a Fall Freshman. But all of the schools you like are world class in every way including facilities. BC facilities keep getting better. Except some forced triples for freshman. The new rec center opening this fall and the new science center for 2019 are awesome. Unc was the same. When went I was more impressed with their campus than duke and that’s rarefied air.
@vincent1997 there are a lot of lovely tucked away areas on the USC campus to get personal space. Of course the Ronald Tutor Center at lunch seems like Times Square in NYC, but once you get off the main paths, you would be surprised by all the lovely fountains and garden areas. I have been there close to 50 times and keep finding new corners of that campus. And the facilities themselves all have wonderful hideaways. The new Marshall//Business building Fertitta Hall is fantastic. The new Village is crazy impressive, so if you get into USC, don’t worry about finding your space there. You have wonderful choices ahead of you. My D didn’t choose UNC CH because with 80% NC students, she feared it would lack the diversity she is use to being in California. Just one perspective of many you can consider.
