<p>I've been asking the question on different sub-forums...maybe people here can give me their insights....and avoid the idea of fit...I've gone through the issue...both schools fit me very well.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a comparison of opportunities post graduation. A bba is a great degree from a school like Ross at UMich, but so is a undergrad degree from UChicago, which in my opinion is one of the best schools in the country.</p>
<p>Opinions!</p>
<p>I think the opportunity's will be pretty close to equal. I had the choice between Northwestern, Ross, and Stern, and I chose Northwestern. At top 10 econ schools, like HYP, MIT, NU, Chicago will result in really good recruiting. I think that in the long run it really doesn't matter.</p>
<p>If they are the same, I would definitely prefer U of C....my only worry is the theoretical nature of the school would not lead to the same jobs other schools on the same level would....but it seems that is not the case</p>
<p>I would say that some jobs not available for Ross graduates will be available to UChicago ones (quantative trading as an example)</p>
<p>I would agree with datadriven. Both are good degrees, but the overall quality of the U Chicago brand trumps U Michigan. U Chicago is an intellectual powerhouse. U Michigan is a very large and excellent state university. Qualitatitively, the students at U Chicago are decidedly stronger (25/75 SAT range at U Chicago is 1350-1520, average of 1440 and places the school among the country’s strongest). Ultimately, either school can get you where you want to be after college as this will really depend more on you than on the school, but IMO the U Chicago degree has a more powerful impact with employers across a wider range of jobs.</p>
<p>If you want a BBA then i think maybe Ross would be a better choice, however if you got into Chicago and you study economics, that would be the best choice!</p>
<p>i can't imagine how you think both schools fit you very well, i could not think of two more different environments</p>
<p>I agree with elsijfdl. Chicago and Michigan are both excellent, but they are totally different. I had to make that choice myself and I majored in Economics. I recommend you think about your entire undergraduate experience rather than try to establish which school will land you a better job. When comparing two such widely different universities, always go with fit.</p>
<p>yep, going to a place you like better is going to do much more for your career than any little difference between two schools like this</p>
<p>Yeah, I have done all that....I was just curious but it seems the difference in this area is non-existent almost. </p>
<p>Regardless, I'll probably end up at U Chicago</p>
<p>the average starting salary out of ross is probably higher, conversely, grad school acceptance rate out of uchicago is probably better</p>
<p>michigan is also recruited more heavily by top firms, uchicago is more well-respected among academics</p>
<p>so it really depends on whether you want to take the academic route or the practical route, grad school or no grad school.</p>
<p>That aside, both schools will have a very high starting salary as well as grad school placement, just slight advantages at each one</p>
<p>my questions have been answered...im going to go with fit</p>
