<p>I'm in a bit of a pickle.</p>

<p>1) I was accepted into umich. I really want to go there and get a BBA under Ross. I was planning on going here until-
2) Cornell ILR decided to have a last laugh and offer me a guaranteed transfer, throwing my plans for the future into the wind. I also want to go here as much as umich. </p>

<p>I'm planning on majoring in econ and public policy. I guess my question is, should I go to umich and then transfer to cornell, or stay at umich for 4 years and shoot for the ross program? I'm an out of state resident, so umich costs are really expensive for me (my parents say they'll manage). I live in New York though, and since ILR is NYS-contracted, the costs are manageable compared to umich. I still have to work through my first year though.</p>

<p>And there could even be a third option: I could go to one of the state colleges (Stony Brook, Binghamton) in New York if I really wanted to, which would help me save a lot of money, and are also good colleges.</p>

<p>What are you thoughts? Should my decision here come down to money? Which one is a better school? (Or better yet, which one is a better fit for me?)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Why is it so hard?</p>

<p>Go to Michigan first year, apply to Ross. If you get into Ross, stay at Ross. If you dont, use your GT to go to cornell.</p>

<p>I guess my question is more like this: which school suits my major more? Are they equally comparable, or is one better than the other?</p>

<p>I think you should listen to bearcats, but I also suggest posting this thread on the Cornell board to get more opinions. Both schools are comparable in economics and public policy with Michigan having the clear edge in business.</p>

<p>Bearcats plan sounds good but I think if you get into Ross you should stay. Think about your college experience, if youre having a good time you dont need to transfer unless you dont get into Ross.</p>
