UT Austin McCombs (OOS, no BHP) vs. NYU Stern vs. UCSD econ

<p>I'm deciding between McCombs, Stern, and UCSD.</p>

<p>I was really confused by UT Austin's admissions process (rolling admissions and weird "wait until your application is processed to submit your resume you get 7 days after the application deadline) so I didn't even know there was an honors program before I was too late to apply for it. I'm really worried about this. From what I hear, BHP is what makes business at UT Austin famous and it seems like they get a lot more recruitment opportunities and a better experience studying business. I'm also an OOS student so it would cost me 55k a year to attend...</p>

<p>Stern is expensive. It would cost me around 62k per year.</p>

<p>My other option is going to UCSD (i'm in state) for economics for around 31k per year. It's obviously not business though, and I have no idea about job placement or opportunities.</p>

<p>There's also UC Irvine, which has (from what I know) a no-name business school? Also I didn't like the campus very much, and it seems like there's no spirit. </p>

<p>Really stuck! Does anyone have any advice?</p>

<p>Is cost a big factor for you? If yes, UCSD. Study Econ, get a job, consider an MBA for later. Read those threads about why Econ is better than Business for a major. </p>

<p>If no, go on to UT. If you do well, you can transfer into BHP. There was a good thread in the UT section by a guy who wanted BHP and then changed his mind fwiw. Search for it. </p>

<p>UT’s BHP is about the same as Stern. As the other person said, you can transfer to the BHP. I’d say UT is a little more for Accounting, while Stern is more specifically for IB. UT might be cheaper (considering personal expenses), but it really depends where you want to work/what you want to do. Good luck, both are good schools.</p>

<p>Probably gotta go for McCombs.</p>
