Berkeley vs. Duke vs. Cornell vs. Georgetown vs. UVA (Echols)
Hi,
I was lucky enough to get into five of these GREAT schools! I am a math major (but I am trying to get into business schools or CS programs). I want a career in finance, whether it is in quant or IB.
I am not an olympiad kid, but I would say I am pretty good at math and econ. My first choice in career is quant finance, but IB, actuary, etc. would be a good fit for me career wise imo. I might pursue a career in medicine, because who knows what will happen in the future.
What school among these 5 would be the best to pursue both? I am in-state for UCB and will be paying around 15k a year for Berkeley, but for rest of the schools, I will need to pay 100k per year.
Berkeley: hard to transfer into CS or Haas, but overall best math reputation
Duke: flexible to choose majors (including CS)
Cornell: Ivy league prestige, also more flexible than berkeley to choose majors
Georgetown: overall best IB prestige
UVA Echols: Great McIntire business program w/ a decently high acceptance rate, and got Echols!
Thank you :)
