I was admitted to both the University of Arizona Eller College of Management and the Orfalea College of Business at Cal Poly SLO and I am having a really hard time deciding on one.
I know and like that Cal Poly has a better reputation as a school, but know that their business school does not necessarily rank as high as Eller (at least that is what all my research has told me), but I hate the fact that UofA has such a party reputation. I plan on going into Marketing and MIS (Eller ranks #5 nationally in MIS).
I am concerned about opportunities or lack thereof. Do school rankings really matter to employers? Or reputation? I don’t know what the smart decision is here. Is one really that much better/worse than the other that would affect the type/quality of job I can get post college?
