Hello friends,
So I’m gonna go out and say it that I am fairly unhappy with my current school and situation. I want to move abroad, but I need the name of a school that is moderately well known globally. Here is where my dilemma lies(granted I am accepted to all of these schools):
I want to go to USC, but I also want to go to NEU for their co-op program. However, NEU hardly has the name recognition that USC or BU has. My other issue is that if I decide to stay in the states, I would inevitably live on the east coast meaning bu would be my best option because of its stellar job placement. My issue with NEU is they don’t detail their job placement, just very vague stats for the MBA program.
Ultimately, I’m stuck between USC and NEU because everything else besides the lack of co-op makes me want to go to USC, the beautiful campus, the name recognition, the night life, the weather, the city, etc. I don’t know, but I think I might be willing to trade all of that for a 6 month job making 20 dollars an hour. Help?
What other colleges have you been accepted to?
I haven’t applied to any others. I think those are the only ones I’d likely to be accepted to that I can afford. I also wanted to apply to BC, Georgetown, Vandy and even penn cas(def a stretch) but I doubt I’d get in or be able to afford any of those. I calculated my estimated aid for the schools I am applying to and I get a good package because I am very poor lol.
Hmm this is a difficult situation since there are so many factors in place.
You say that you want to work abroad. How serious is this? What motivated you to pursue this? Will you stay permanently overseas? What countries/continents do you have in mind?
I think USC will be most helpful in this respect since it’s well known overseas. Additionally, what you want to study within business will matter a lot as not all business majors are in demand overseas. Finance and Supply Chain would probably be popular.
Even if you end up in the States I think any one of those three degrees would be helpful wherever you end up in the US. After your first job it’s really more what you’ve accomplished rather than what school you went to.
