UCSB v. Tulane

College Search & Selection
1

I don’t have time to explain why I’m doing this now, just need help to decide.
Financially? I’m set with both, they’ll be the same after four years.

Majors-MATH and Finance. Pretty much the same imo. I want to go into either economic forecasting or financial analysis. Honestly, can’t decide, but I like money and numbers.

About me: I’m a little socially introverted, but not completely. I feel like UCSB may fit me better, but Tulane will bring a totally new experience to me(CA-born).

I’m also worried about jobs afterward. I feel like I wouldn’t want to live in NOLA(or elsewhere in the South) all my life, but I’m not sure I would believe that after four years. At the same time, Santa Barbara county is not a county with jobs in finance, maybe NOLA would?(What I mean to say is that I can get my degree in SB and go to NOLA for a job, or vise versa).

Why only these two schools? There are many schools which fit your interest. What are your GPA and test scores?

Go to the school you’re more excited about and where you see the best fit. Employers use sites like GauchoLink (or equivalent at Tulane) to post jobs and applicants are expected to drive to them for interviews. Very few students gain employment through on-campus interviews, which is a shift from a decade ago. You’ll rely on alumni networks, LinkedIn, etc. Bottom line, location is less of a consideration than it was prior to online job boards, etc. Good luck to you!
