I don’t know what to do? I got into USC Marshall. I also got into Michigan LSA. Would have to apply to Ross later with no guarantee. I’m from Los Angeles. USC about 15,000 more a year. To go to USC, I have to take out loans maybe $80,000 total over 4 years. At MI, my parents said they can cover it all. I don’t know which is a better school. especially business.
Any advice??? Also AT Ross they said, their student no longer need to get MBAs after college, that Ross is so strong, its unnecessary. What about Marshall, is that the trend of recognition there too, that I won’t need an NBA, or is it just a business oriented undergrad type major and not as top notch? Help! Loans/sunny weather…or no loans/risk being LSA not Ross and cold?
Their undergrad business programs are pretty similar. USC will be more attractive to employers on the West Coast, UMich east. Neither’s students necessarily need to get an MBA. USC’s is guaranteed, so that’s a big bonus, and if you took out loans you could probably pay off that debt pretty quickly because business is lucrative. UMich is a bigger risk, but the price difference is huge.
Just some things to weigh in your mid.
I am always nervous about someone who wants Ross going with no pre-admit – I know too many people who went to UM and then could not get into Ross. But I also think $80,000 in loans is too much. Do you have other options?
