Crunch Time with final Numbers

<p>I have to choose between the University of Miami (FL) and UMich </p>

<p>Miami is giving me 32K a year with a 40 K costs total
Umich is giving me 19K a year with a 40K costs</p>

<p>Is it worth incurring the debt for such a better school for Business?</p>

<p>Other factors are included....I have until June 4th to make a deposit.</p>

<p>That's a tough one. $40,000 over 4 years is a lot of money, but not enough to make the decision an obvious one. </p>

<p>Miami isn't as good as Michigan, but it is still a good school. If you are definite that you will get into Ross, which is never a given, then I'd defnitely say go for Michigan. </p>

<p>Your getting Michigan for $20,000/year, which is a reasonable bargain. But like I said, Miami is a decent university and you get to save $40,000 by going there. I guess it depends on how much value to attach to those $40,000. Is it worth going to a more highly regarded university or isn't it?</p>

<p>i don't think I'd have a problem getting into Ross, I have a lot of credits to transfer with a high GPA</p>

<p>Then go to Michigan. If you have a good chance at Ross and you can graduate in under 4 years, go to Michigan.</p>

<p>Thats what I'm definitely Leaning towards, thanks for all of your help in this process man, I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>BTW, do you know How UMIch's linguistic programs is? i couldn't find much about it online</p>

<p>I got a $60,000 scholarship from Miami and not a penny from Michigan. I still chose Michigan in a heartbeat. I'm probably in a different situation because finances aren't really that much of a concern in my family but there's really no question as to which school is better.</p>

<p>Michigan's linguistics department is well regarded. It is not as strong as MIT's, Cal's or Penn's, but it is very well regarded. Michigan's Linguistics department has 20 faculty members, most of which got their terminal degrees from the likes of Cal, Cambridge (UK), Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, MIT, Michigan, Penn, UT-Austin and Yale.</p>

<p>Here's a link to the Linguistics department.</p>

<p>michigan >>> miami</p>

<p>I agree, I think that the opportunities at Michigan would far outweigh what you would get at Miami.</p>

<p>What's your final decision?</p>

<p>UMICH is My Final ANswer!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
