<p>Hey, just wondering your guys’ opinion on the three. I realize i’ve asked before but now i have a clearer thought on the three and more of a writeup involved. I’m currently interested in finance and going into that. Here are my opinions on the three</p>
<p>Some added opinions on the three</p>
<p>For Penn: Some of the things that detract me from going to Penn are it will be a huge change as i’ve never lived in the east coast, no friends or family close to there, costs money to go back home, the saftey issue bothers my parents and I a lot with the surrounding area, and of course the cost. The cost is probably the biggest factor as we recieved zero financial aid and we’d have to take out estimated 160k in loans to pay for the full thing. The program is probably the best out of the three schools though, at least in my opinon for where I want to go and who i want to be careerwise. Also, going back for an MBA isn’t necessarily required as it is for other schools if I go here.</p>
<p>For Stanford: A big plus for Stanford is the safety of the school, and at this current relatively uninformed situation of mine, i’d imagine i’d have the most fun here. The biggest problem is I dont think there’s enough of a clear path to take at Stanford in terms of programs and majors that’d lead me to the finance world compared to say, M&T. Of course, the cost will be an issue as well with recieving no financial aid at Stanford either.</p>
<p>For UCSD: The bioengineering program is highly ranked, and for the Jacob’s engineering scholarship, I get a lot of research benefits with a lot of interaction with professors. The economics program is relatively high ranked as well, and I would be double majoring in econ to help me get to where I want to be finance wise. I’d imagine going back for an MBA is essential if I go to UCSD, so one of my big questions is how plausible is it to get into a top business school coming from UCSD with a primarily engineering background and engineering work experience? A drawback and a positive is that it’s close to home, meaning it’s familiar, but it’s also easy to have home and family/friends to fall back on. I’m not too fond of the campus or the social life. </p>
<p>Anyways, those are my three choices I’ve narrowed it down to at the moment, any advice or opinions on the subject would be extremely and greatly appreciated. And if it’s not already taking too much time, I’m wondering about finance and how much of a difference will it make in trying to get a good job and moving up coming from UCSD, Stanford, or the M&T program.</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice or opinions on the subject =]</p>
