So your choice is basically $24,000 for four years at UF vs $260-$300K at Chicago, Georgetown and Northwestern. And that’s before inflation. I’d eliminate Northeastern, Fordham, and USC. And then $14K at FSU.
Think about what you could do with an extra $240,000-$280,000. Fund your two years at a top MBA program. and then you would have an extra $100K-$140K to buy a car and put a down payment on a house.
If you want to get into the top MBA programs, you will need high grades, top GMAT scores, and good work experience from wherever you go. Being in the middle of the pack at UC, GU, or NU won’t cut it.
For me, it would be between FSU and UF, and with the reputation of the school, I would lean towards Gainesville. The other schools cost way too much and aren’t worth the value, with no guarantee you will get a top job and grad school admission. Top students at Florida will have a lot of opportunities as well.
