GMP vs Ross (further complications involved, please help me make a decision!)

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

Hey guys, I’m stuck lol. (btw I am from CO so OOS for both)

I have been admitted both to Michigan’s Ross School of Business as well as Berkeley’s Global Management Program at Haas. My parents want me to go to Cal for the global reputation as well as how hard GMP is to get in (which I completely agree), but I personally think I would fit in at Michigan more (less extreme on the political spectrum, more diverse)

Furthermore, accepting my GMP decision would mean I would have to cancel a super cool internship I have right now. It’s a two-month internship in Shanghai for a small global mgmt consulting company, and I’m the only high school senior working with Penn, Stanford, and Harvard students (8 penn, 3 stanford, 1 harvard). I honestly don’t know if I am able to cancel this as I have confirmed everything with them but I also haven’t mentioned this acceptance and my situation either. The internship costs around $4,000 as well.

The costs are nearly the same, however ross is $5,000 more expensive in junior and senior year.

Please give me some insight on my situation and what you would choose and why.

Define diverse. Berkeley is 75% non-white while Michigan is close to the opposite.

It’s not a huge preference of mine but I think Michigan has more variance among races as well as amount. You’re right that both are diverse in different ways. That being said, what is pulling me towards Cal is definitely its location.
