Michigan LSA vs Boston College CSOM

<p>These are two schools that have accepted me already. I am applying to a few other schools but I wanted to compare these two. I applied pre-admit to Ross but I will likely not be accepted. </p>

<p>Supposing that my choice are Michigan LSA (Econ + Poly Sci?) and BC CSOM, which would be the better choice for recruitment into finance jobs immediately after graduation?</p>

<p>Carroll is excellent. I would have to say that CSOM is probably slightly better than LSA for finance placement. If LSA had a stronger and more aggresive recruitment office, I would say LSA over CSOM. But as it is, I would have to give the edge to the CSOM. However, Ross trumps both.</p>

<p>Remember also that you can apply to Ross after your freshman year if you are not a pre-admit, and econ+poly sci at LSA is a strong backup.</p>

<p>I am aware I can apply after freshman year. Although I have heard that it is quite competitive and I’m afraid that an LSA Econ + Poly Sci degree may be significantly less appealing than a CSOM finance degree. If that is the case I do not know if applying to Ross from LSA is a gamble I’d be willing to take.</p>

<p>askjeeves, I am fairly certain that most students who do not get into Ross once at Michigan are probably not Investment Banking material, wether they attend LSA or CSOM.</p>

<p>According to the Ross BBA website; only 25% of Ross “admits” come through preferred placement.</p>
