I’ve been accepted to Northeastern as an International Business Japan major at the D’Amore-McKim School of Business and UW as a Business Administration (Direct) major at the Foster School of Business. However, I’m completely stuck in between the two.
I love the Northeastern co-op program and with my major, in my fourth year, I get to study abroad for 1 semester in Japan and then do a co-op for a semester in Japan. However, to go, I need to reach B1 proficiency in Japanese and pass the test for it, which I’m kind of scared I won’t be able to do. There’s also only one option for the university (Rikkyo University), which isn’t ranked as high as the UW study abroad partner college options. For UW, there are way more study abroad options, especially since I’m not a Japan specific major, but I’ll also have to have at least a 3.0 GPA and for some, reach the 3rd level of a language, then apply. However, for some, the only language requirement is English, so I wouldn’t have to worry if I don’t do well in my language class or if I don’t want to go to a specific country anymore. Still, I feel like it would be more competitive to get in and not 100% guaranteed.
I’m completely torn between the two so I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts?
