<p>Decisions are out and I got into these colleges:</p>
<p>UNC (goin for Kenan Flagger Jr. Yr) $12,000-20,000 scholarship ~ $100,000
Notre Dame (Mendoza) ~$ 200,000
University of Miami FL (business school) full scholarship ~$60,000</p>
<p>Money is very much an issue. I get no finanical aid and the corresponding prices for each are listed. I don't want to break the bank, but is it worth it to go to Duke or Cornell over UNC or Miami (full scholarship)?</p>
<p>Which have best job placements?</p>
<p>How aggressively should I persue my waitlist position at Duke and Cornell?</p>
<p>well no offense but waitlist means rejection in a more pleasant sounding way
if you do get in, presuming you want to study finance i would go with
1. Cornell AEM (hotel school is more real estate finance, marketing and hotel mangment)
2. Duke
3. UNC(but risk not geting to major in business) - great IB placement though
4. Notre Dame
5. Miami</p>
<p>Getting into Kenan is pretty simple from their website. You need a low 3 gpa to be able to matriculate into it. If not, econ is always a possibility.</p>
<p>Go for UNC. It's the most reasonable one. As for your numbers, I doubt thats the debt you'll be in once you're out of college.</p>
<p>^Around 2/3 of the UNC students that apply to Kenan get in, with the average accepted GPA being around a 3.5. The 1/3 that don't get accepted have an average GPA of like a 3.0.</p>
<p>i'm not sure because money for me isn't a problem similar to your situation</p>
<p>i think of it that you will make the difference of tuition back within 1-2 years of working (maybe not your first years); supporting the saying, education is good debt</p>
