WFU or UIUC?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wake Forest University

<p>I got my WFU financial aid package today. It's definitely making the choice complicated. UofI gave me absolutely $0 in financial aid (purely loans totaling $33,000). WFU is offering scholarships that bring their cost down, well below UofI's.</p>

<p>My question is which school will offer me better opportunities down the road in business? I'm looking at doing something in the banking industry specifically. What school would you recommend for this?</p>

<p>What about in terms of getting an MBA from a top school? Which school would set me up for that MBA from a top school? </p>

<p>What about starting salary wise? Internships? Are they as abundant as they seem to be at UIUC?</p>

<p>I know there's a lot of questions there. So, if you can only answer one question, I'd like to know what school you'd choose and perhaps why?</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Hi - for me that’s a pretty easy response, Wake Forest all the way, especially if you are planning on majoring in finance or accounting. The placement is off the charts for accounting and we have the highest CPA exam pass rate in the nation. You can do the FINM program which is a 5 year program, finance & accounting double major and a masters. Starting salary is probably Google-able.</p>

<p>This is pretty simple: go to Wake Forest unless you want to do engineering.</p>
