Hi,
I wanted some insight on which school to pick between UT Dallas and Loyola Chicago with a major in Business. Loyola, I believe offers good scholarship as well, comparable to UT in-state tuition. Please advice. TIA
Have you been accepted to both? It sounds like you don’t have your financial aid package from Loyola yet. It’s better to wait until you have all your acceptances and financial aid info before making a decision. After you have that your decision may be easier.
What colleges have you applied to?
What’s your budget (what can your parents pay each year, out of pocket, from income and savings)?
Why UTD and Loyola in particular? Are you Catholic? From the Midwest?
Yes, accepted to both, Loyola has given some merit scholarship in the acceptance letter.
Both are safety schools for me.
Ok, so you’ve been admitted to both and know what your financial aid is. Are they both affordable? Which do you like better? Are you more drawn to Texas or Chicago?
I’m also wondering, since these are both safeties why you are deciding now? Are you still waiting to hear from matches and reaches or are these the only two you applied to?
No, not deciding now, I am still waiting for the reaches and other safeties. But in the event I am left with only these 2, which is a recommended pick.
Both are good.
It really depends whether they’re equally affordable, whether you want to live in a new state/city or want to stay in Texas, whether you get into the Honors college at either one of them, whether you want a Catholic/Jesuit education or not…
I’d give a nod to Loyola for business in the Chicago area and the Midwest in general (Twin Cities, etc), but if you wish to work in Texas then UTD is probably a safer bet.
Thank you so much! This really helps!
UTD is known as a STEM school. They are not really known for it’s business programs.
