I’m facing a dilemma right now. After being rejected by NYU, my first choice for a finance education, I have the decision of choosing between Penn State vanilla or Ohio State in their honors scholars program. I am a resident of PA, but Ohio State has provided me with enough scholarship money to pretty much bring its total costs on parity with those of Penn State.
So I need some opinions from anyone who might have some insight into these two schools, particularly their finance programs and/or Ohio State’s honors program/college honors in general. Basically, which combination will provide me with the better (I know neither may not be optimal) chance and opportunity to break into finance on Wall Street. It’s going to require a great deal of work on my part (and I’m willing to do everything this will require), but I need put myself in the best position possible given that I am already at a disadvantage. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
