<p>Son has narrowed his choice down to UIUC COB and UT Austin Economics. OOS for both schools. He wants to pursue a career in business (probably Finance) post graduation. He prefers the climate and vibe of Austin but prefers College of Business over College of Liberal Arts. He will be happy at either school.</p>
<p>Would net price be different enough to be a tiebreaker?</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is what region he would prefer to work in after graduation, since there often is local bias in recruiting.</p>
<p>Where does he want to work after graduation? Both schools are high respected</p>
<p>Coming from NY, he is indifferent to locale post-graduation. The difference in cost is insignificant. If he had been accepted to McCombs, there would be no debate, he would go to UT. The On Campus Recruiting for business students at UIUC is excellent. The On Campus Recruiting for economics students at UT is not as good.</p>
