<p>Location is pretty important to me so USC beats Michigan there by a lot, but is Ross that much stronger of a business school? If I were to go to USC, would it be worth 150k in total for Marshall's job placement?</p>
<p>Which school has better international programs with Asia/Europe?</p>
<p>Where is it easier to double major?</p>
<p>Where would I find myself in a better position to pursue an MBA?</p>
<p>Thanks for all the feedback I really appreciate it, I have 9 days to make a deposit and I can't decide at all!</p>
<p>both programs are obviously very comparable, so that answers your MBA placement question. the more important question you need to ask yourself is - where do i want to work when i graduate? if west coast - usc. if ny, chicago, etc. - mich.</p>
<p>I would argue that outside of the West coast, Michigan has USC beat any day as far as job placement and prestige.</p>
<p>michigan is more expensive though.
47k versus 53k, plus the location of USC - is michigan’s business that much better with these in consideration?</p>
<p>If you want to work anywhere else outside of Southern California, I think the $6k extra at Ross is worth it. Both will probably suit you equally well in terms of MBA placement though a lot of this is based on work experience prior to applying. I like USC’s weather a hell of a lot better than Michigan (I grew up in So Cal - I’m spoiled ;)) but if you could offer anything else that’s keeping you from deciding, hopefully you can post more specific questions and I’ll do my best to help you compare them as I go to Michigan and am in the business school, and I have plenty of friends at SC.</p>
<p>They are pretty comparable schools with a slight edge to Ross because of its international scope. I am not sure about Marshall, but I know that Ross places very well into NYC bulge brackets and top tier consulting firms. I believe there may have been a list published at some point on placement rates, but it was a while ago. </p>
<p>Honestly, at this point (ross vs marshall), it is more about your ability rather than what a school can do for you since they are both pretty comparable. I would suggest going to the school that makes you happier - doing well (academically, recruiting, etc.) is much easier when you are not miserable.</p>
