<p>So, I am debating between BHP as an instate student w/a 3000 a year scholarship vs. a full ride at Chapel Hill.
I assume BHP is a better school. How much better? What would you choose?</p>
<p>Whats total cost of attendance for UT-Austin then with the 3000 scholarship? </p>
<p>Personally, if full ride at Kenan-Flager means housing, book,etc I would personally go there.</p>
<p>UT would cost 15k. Full-ride is room and board and tuition. I would have to pay for books and plane rides... I guess the cost would be no more than 3k.</p>
<p>UT would be 15k per year or for all 4 years of college?</p>
<p>15k per year</p>
<p>ut bhp is tops its worth ur money</p>
<p>Go to UNC with the free ride. Honestly, UNC is a GREAT school with a great alumni network.</p>
<p>UT BHP is the better school. Look at it more like this though: if you plan on working in Texas, you can't do any better than McCombs BHP for the networking. If you plan on working OOS, UNC is just as good and a better investment, considering it's practically free.</p>
<p>If you want investment banking, BHP>>>UNC. If your not interested in IB go to UNC. They're both great schools but UNC isn't a target school for BBs like Texas.</p>
<p>So UNC is actually cheaper than in-state BHP? I would think the opposite. I still think the BHP is more prestigious than UNC.</p>
<p>UNC is a great school that is very highly rated. Considering your financial situation I would say go to UNC. To be honest neither of these schools is really a target for BB (for IBD) but yes, your chances of getting in from UT will be better. However, UNC has a great program and everyone that I know that goes there absolutely loves it. In my opinion you are getting more bang for you buck at UNC.</p>
<p>Yeah, I pretty much decided on Chapel Hill simply because I am not 100% sure I want business and it would suck if I pay 15k a year for BHP and end up switching majors. Besides, the 60k could be really useful if I ever decide to get an MBA/go to grad school.</p>
<p>Good Decision</p>
<p>BHP would be the (slightly) better school, but I agree with you that the better choice is to take the free ride at UNC-CH.</p>
<p>Both schools rank in the top 20 business programs nationally, so the $60K in savings is the deciding factor.</p>
<p>do BHP it is so much better and really hard to get in only like 40 ppl get in it nxt yr u should be honored to and it would be a shame to not do it, if u visit their website it says most all bhp ppl get several job offeres by time they graduate</p>
<p>I am unfamiliar with UT's business program but I do know that it is NOT a target for BB Investment banks. Both schools are ranked similarly, however Chapel Hill is ranked higher and slightly more prestigious than UT overall. If IB is what you are looking for then you should have applied to UVA which is probably one of the top 5 programs for business in the country and a major target school.</p>
<p>If you're going to save that much money I think you made a wise decision. They are both great schools and if one is better than the other it is by a very small margin.</p>
<p>What are you talking about stoneimmaculate? Goldman, Morgan, and ML all recruit in large numbers here at UT. In fact when ML came to do a seminar last Tuesday, they said that over the next couple of years they are going to focus their recruiting more heavily at these five schools:
harvard, upenn, georgetown, ut austin, rice</p>
<p>The investment banks are expanding where they recruit from. ML, Goldman, Morgan Stanley. They're now hitting business schools like SUNY Bing and Penn State and interviewing the top students. It's a BIG departure from the past. I'll bet UNC and UT are both on the list.<br>
Go with UNC -great business school - great deal.</p>
<p>Just because investment banks recruit, visit, and make presentations at certain schools, it doesn't mean they're target schools. The more important thing is how many students actually get offers and their chances of getting offers.</p>
<p>redhare - true - but I know students with internships and jobs from these big banks - and they're no longer just IVY and top business school grads. Recruiting at schools outside of the top 25 was UNHEARD of 10 years ago ( I know - I was in that business). Now they go to the "next rung" of schools and pick the "cream of the crop" - sometimes honors students with high GPAs and leadership exp. Yes, the offers are lower in # - but the opportunities are there for those who were bright enough to get into the top schools in the first place.</p>
