<p>I got accepted to every school I applied to: NYU Stern, Umich, Penn State, Rutgers, BC, UIUC. I doubt I'll be going to Penn State or UIUC because they offered me so little $. NYU, Umich, BC, and Rutgers seem to be the only ones I'm considering. I need some advice because money is a big issue for me. </p>
<p>If I got to BC, I'll be paying around $4000 a year. They were pretty generous about financial aid, but I don't know if I really want to go there.</p>
<p>If I go to Rutgers (in-state), they'll OWE me about $6000 a year, if that's even allowed. The average cost is 16k, and they're offering me 22k.</p>
<p>Umich is offering me 30k in total financial aid. It says the average cost is 37k, so I'll end up paying 7k. I guess that's a super deal for a good school like Umich. I got into the LSA honors program. I'll probably major in economics and not apply to the business school junior year if I go.</p>
<p>NYU is giving 20k aid out of total cost of 45k. I'm just an average student here.</p>
<p>I always wanted to go to NYU Stern for either accounting or finance but don't know how I'll be able to afford it. If my parents only make 30k a year, what's the best way to get this money? Is Stern worth the price? The Rutgers deal is very attractive. I'll end up with 24k upon graduation if they allow the "profit," but I don't know if that's worth it since it's not the best academically. Maybe I'll go to grad school with the money? Based on these financial facts and the overall academic value of each school, can you help me decide? You can ask me whatever you want to get a better idea. What I do know for sure is that I hope to end up on Wall Street someday. I valued Stern for the opportunity, but it's the most expensive school on the list. I also want to know which is a better value: a $7k LSA honors economics major at Umich or the business at Stern. Which offers better opportunities? It's just that I have Wall Street on the back of my mind. Sorry about all this but thank you if you can help. This is a big decision for me.</p>
