| Honestly, think less about the $$$ and more about which place is the better fit for you.
For going into business and finance, there is probably not much of a difference between Cornell and Chicago. Your major/area of study doesn't make a difference at the undergraduate level. Firms just want someone smart that they can train.
If you want to go into economics, then UChicago is the obvious choice. For econ grad school you DO have to have prior econ training.
Regardless of which school you go to, I would recommend branching out and exploring other fields. Don't zoom in on your major immediately; try to see if there are other subjects that draw your interest. Remember: your undergraduate career is the last time in your life where it is okay to dick around and figure out what you want on a trial-by-error basis.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: go where you feel you'll be happier. Trust your gut. |
