I’m deciding between Penn State Smeal College of Business and University of Pittsburgh College of Business Administration and trying to figure out how big the gap actually is.

I know Smeal is generally ranked higher, but I’m wondering if that really translates into better outcomes or if they’re pretty similar in practice. I’m planning to go to law school after undergrad, but I still want a strong, reputable business degree to fall back on.

Does Smeal have a noticeable edge with employers and networking, or does Pitt being in a city help more with internships and opportunities? If you’ve had experience with either, I’d appreciate honest insight on whether the difference is real or mostly just rankings.
