<p>I am still a high school junior and plan to major in Finance. I live in California and want to go to some private schools in the East. I don't like UCs that much now, so crowded, so much competition. For each major u apply there has to file a petition and fill some premajor classes + recommendations. I decided to go to Syracuse or NYU.</p>
<p>What I really like about Syracuse is that graduate classes are easier to get in. The school is nice, and so many opportunities there.</p>
