<p>Anybody know?</p>
<p>would it be fair to say the finance department at BC is Top 10 or top 15 in the nation?</p>
<p>I wouldn't be afraid at all to say it is top 10 at all. It's located in Boston, which is know for its financing (next to NYC, of course). BC is also a big of a magnet because of the schools in Massachusetts and the employers that drop by to recruit at MIT, Harvard, etc. BC can hold its name and there is a buzz regarding it.</p>
<p>It's no Wharton or Stern, but its real damn good. I was looking at some of their classes and they have some offerings in the basics of venture capital, hedge funds, etc. A lot of class catalogs I've looked at for business schools usually keep it nice and stupid.</p>
<p>Then again, I am a felon.</p>
<p>The reason I ask is that I didn't get any aid for BC's business school</p>
<p>And it is really really expensive</p>
<p>My dad doesn't want to pay the $50,000+ a year for me to go there</p>
<p>I have to convince him that it's worth it</p>
<p>I know BC's finance dept. is great, but is it worth all that money?</p>
<p>That's what I want to know.</p>
<p>Will I most likely get a great high paying job afterwards?</p>
<p>52,000 a year at BC or 33,000 a year at Penn State?</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP</p>
<p>Whether or not it's worth it is somewhat dependent upon what your other options are. What are those other options?</p>
<p>BC's Carroll School of Management 52,000 a year</p>
<p>Lehigh's Business school 48,000 a year</p>
<p>Penn State's Smeal 33,000 a year</p>
<p>Which option is the best?</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<ol>
<li>Can your dad afford it?</li>
</ol>
<p>If the answer to question number 1 is yes, go onto the following statement.</p>
<p>Go to BC.</p>
<p>GodSend can you please explain why? I would appreciate it</p>
<p>Yes my parents can afford it</p>
<p>Lost of BC grads on Wall Street.
But only go if your family can afford it.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>But do you know if those BC grads on Wall street came from the business school or did they major in something quantitative like mathematics in the arts/sciences</p>
<p>Cause I heard wall street and other big companies in general prefer those who majored in something quantative over finance</p>
