I am currently a Texas resident who got accepted into the business honors program at UT Austin, the business school at the University of North Carolina, and the College of Letters & Sciences at UC Berkeley.
I want to pursue a career in finance (Accounting/investment banking/ asset management/ corporate finance) and secure a job at a big name firm like Goldman or Blackrock.
Berkeley is the most prestigious out of all the schools but I do not have guaranteed entrance into the business school but even if I didn’t get in, I would be majoring in economics.
I can afford to go to any of the schools debt free, however, any money I save at college, I would get to continue to save.
I really want to leave Texas but I want to know if paying the extra money for more prestige at Berkeley or closer access to the East Coast at UNC is worth the money.
