Loyola- Maryland vs. St. Joe's Philly

<p>Need some quick advise - need to make a choice by Wednesday. My son just off the wait list at Loyola after accepting at St. Joe's. Both seem pretty equal. Any insight into either business programs would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Really close choice here - they are very, very similar. Both have decent business schools. Maybe it should come down to factors like overall cost to you/student; proximity to home -i.e. ease of getting there or home; prefer one city over the other?</p>

<p>I guess if your son wanted to be on the WL, then Loyola must be the first choice. Good luck - he’ll probably be fine at either school!</p>

<p>Academically – looking at the business programs only – the two schools are pretty much even. Loyola overall has a slightly stronger student body based on standardized test scores and GPA. Loyola also has a better 4-year graduation rate (81% vs. 68%). Students at both schools have fairly active social lives (i.e. they have been known to party, at least off-campus). Does your son prefer the outskirts of Baltimore or Philly?</p>
