CMU or McGill: Decision Time!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I just got off the waitlist at McGill University (QC)'s famed business school (The Desautels Faculty of Management). I also have admission, in a similar (but not identical) major at CMU called Decision Science which combines Business and Psychology. I don't exactly discriminate between either subject since I like them both equally. However, McGill is ~10k more expensive and I already got my roommate and everything to CMU.</p>

<p>To add to this, I am a resident of Pittsburgh. I love the Steel City, but I would probably prefer Montreal; I still love both CMU and McGill though!
Really, what I'm asking, is McGill better than CMU in terms of academics, social life, and, most importantly, job prospects!?</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon’s business school is also very highly ranked and it is cheaper to go there</p>

<p>CMU is better than McGill in terms of job prospects and, apparently, is also cheaper for you to attend. Academically, I believe they are about the same.</p>
