I have trouble deciding on what school to attend for the fall semester and I was wondering input on which is considered better in terms of overall value (alumni association, internships, colleges that pay you back, student life). I am on the east coast and would do business in Pitt while undecided in Washington but also moving onto business in Washington(I’ve heard Washington has a very good MBA program). Any input at all would be great!
Well, how much will each of these schools cost you?
Washington is slightly more expensive than pitt
The quality of the MBA program is not necessarily reflective of the quality of the undergraduate business program. So don’t use that as a reason to choose or reject either place.

Run the numbers again very carefully. Include figures for your transportation costs. How often will you need/want to get home each year? Talk over the cost difference with your parents. “Slightly more expensive” can mean a lot of different things.
Preferably neither for business, but if you want to work on the east coast Pitt and Washington for west coast.
In regards to going into the MBA program at Washington, I believe that you need 2-3 years of work experience to get accepted into an MBA program (although, this may vary. Can someone correct me if I’m wrong?). For now, focus more on undergraduate business programs
If money isn’t too much of an issue, I would say go to Pitt.
it’s 10,000 more expensive
