Hi everyone, I’m down to my last 2 colleges and I don’t know which one to pick.
I have always considered John Jay to be my top choice because of their forensic psychology curriculum; forensic psychology is what I want to do. However, when I compare the overall quality of both schools, Baruch is supposedly better. While Baruch doesn’t have the specific major that John Jay does, according to some online research, I’ve found that Baruch is has better rank, higher graduation rate, higher post-graduation salary, and I like its demographics better. However, it’s also true that Baruch is mainly a business school (right?) so I suppose the numbers (salary, mainly) are skewed. Also, I know Baruch costs a little more than John Jay but I’m not worried about that.
I don’t know if I should sacrifice having a specific forensic psychology major in favor for an overall more prestigious school. Would it be worth it? I’m not 100% dead set on psychology, since I don’t really know if I’m going to end up doing it for the rest of my life.
So, should I pick John Jay or Baruch?
Thanks in advance!
