<p>I got accepted to NYU- Stern, University of Virginia, Northwestern, and the University of Washington- Foster School of business. I'm pretty sure I want to do business in my future, but what's my best option? My family is just above the line for any real financial aid, so my parents would rather I stay in state at UW. </p>
<p>Of the three out of state colleges, I can't decide what school serves my interest best. Stern would probably provide the safest route into the world of business because of its reputation and location. UVA has business week's top ranked undergraduate b-school for 2009, but I would have to apply as a junior and I'm not quite sure how the job outlook compares with NYU. I'm also curious about how going to the best overall school (Northwestern) and simply majoring in econ while taking some business courses as a junior and senior stacks up with going straight to undergraduate business. I also got into UCLA, USC- Marshall, and WashU (st. louis)-Olin, but I don't think those options stack up as well considering USC's the most expensive and WashU's business school isn't particularly renowned. </p>
<p>I'm kind of at a loss for what to do (especially considering my brother's graduating from Wharton this year and has secured a lucrative job with Bain Consulting firm... grrrr). Advice?</p>
