<p>Hi guys, im a student from china mainland
now im having a hard timing deciding which school to ED..
i have penn college, northwestern, and nyu-stern as options</p>

<p>im gonna major in econ/finance, or sth alike
so i have to consider about placement, opportunity for internship, network, etc. anything for a guys wants to do finance</p>

<p>each options has its pros and cons...
nu might be more possible for me to get enrolled, which would allow me to have a happy december... but i dunno too much about its majors&programs, atmosphere, and career prospective. are they good?</p>

<p>penn college is harder, but it has nice reputation as an ivy... but is philly a good place compared to chicago( nu is not in chicago tho)? and how about the its econ?</p>

<p>stern seems to be the best place for a finance guy, but it rarely admit chinese... so it is like a blackhole, i dunno what would happen if i apply it under ED.. i dont wanna waste ED... it's the BEST if i can be admitted under ED by a favorable school.. I can begin to relax in dec. XD</p>

<p>thanx all you guys, your kind advices are appreciated</p>

<p>Upenn has explicitly stated on its website the limited availability of finaid for internationals.</p>

<p>NYU is pretty stingy with aid I think. Besides, the cost of living in new york is astronomical...</p>

<p>I haven't a clue about NU so I shan't say anything.</p>

<p>Stats? Need financial aid?</p>

<p>i dont need finaid actually..
i will pay full tuition, so i just wanna know about the majors, placement, environment, and which one to choose to ED....</p>

<p>thank you~</p>

<p>I don't think you can go wrong with either Wharton or Stern. Wharton is the most prestigious undergraduate business school in the US, but Stern graduates are also heavily recruited by top companies.</p>

<p>I am also not sure if Stern is much easier to get into than Wharton: the average SAT scores of their students are only 24 points apart (1448 Wharton vs 1442 Stern). NYC might offer more options internship-wise than Philly, but the cost of living is a lot less in Philly than it is in NYC (I would guess only about half as much). And you can always do summer internships in a city other than the one you go to college in - a lot of students go home during the summer and sublet their room, so finding temporary housing shouldn't be too difficult.</p>

<p>I kind of omitted Northwestern's business school because I don't know too much about it.</p>

<p>thanx barium~
I dont really hope to go to wharton. i choose penn college instead
wharton is impossible for me, so just drop it</p>

<p>but i do appreciate your advice~
stern is tough, so it's now at the end of my list...</p>
