Berkeley Haas vs Cornell Undergrad vs Stern

Money is not a problem - I have racked up enough grants from here and there… and my parents have saved up quite a bit of money for me (although the EFC isn’t that high) - I think I can afford to pay for out of state colleges…

That being said… I need to ask a few more questions!

@sentimentGX4: Give me some reasoning on why I should go to Stern :P

@Happymomof1: I did receive a Cal-Grant A (and B) along with various other scholarships and grants from many sources… so going to Berkeley is virtually free for me… What I’m worried about is the extreme grading and grade deflation that occurs at Berkeley… I don’t think I can afford to get low Bs on my transcript for grad school at Berkeley…

I heard Cornell’s mathematics & economics department is definitely not up to par with Berkeley, but I also think Berkeley will be detrimental to my grades…

NYU… I don’t know. It’s a good school, but do you think it’ll be easier for me to get internships (3rd/4th year summer) that will lead me into jobs towards the end of undergrad?

I’m not really thinking of grad school… If I was to pursue grad school, I would definitely go to Berkeley to save costs and try my hardest and then try to go to Penn or Harvard for grad school…

GAH! The choices are too hard. In terms of prestige, they are all near same…

Help What are your opinions on my dilemma? :(
