<p>Okay, so currently I live in Michigan. I have been accepted to MSU and Loyola Chicago. I have apps pending from NYU, ND, and U of M. </p>

<p>I believe I will get into U of M and idk about the other two. </p>

<p>My desired major is business and I have absolutely no chance of getting in pre-admit to Ross at U of M. </p>

<p>I am in Loyola to the business school because it is open enrollment. </p>

<p>My question is, would it be better to go into the business school at Loyola or get an econ degree from Umich if I don't get into Ross? </p>

<p>Other-
Money, fortunately, is not an substantial roadblock.
I want a career in financial services or trading </p>

<p>What school do you think would be better?
Is it better to trade a great "traditional" college experience with big athletics, a huge campus, and active social life to live in Chicago? Or does U of M have better opportunities even though it isn't in Chicago?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Definitely Umich econ/math > loyola bus, who knows you might get into Ross as well. You might also want to consider NYU econ/Stern or ND if you get in with good aid, but Mich is a great option for you with instate costs.</p>

<p>tbh, it depends on what you want to work in. A lot of the front-office jobs at financial firms recruit heavily based on whether a school is a target or not, and I’ve never heard of loyola as being a target. You can google or search collegeconf to see what schools are targets and what aren’t. It depends whether you want to do in business I guess.</p>
