Hey so i keep choosing one school and then contemplating and cant make up my mind.
I am pretty much dead set on finance as a major because i love the risk and investing and the whole united world part of it.

I am currently working part time and also doing an internship while going to school full time which is a community college and I have a cumulative 3.65 GPA.
During my 2 years at community college other than working part time and doing the internship part time, I was in the Investment and Finance Society.
Some schools I looked into were USD, Penn State Smeal, Northeastern University…

I live in San Diego, so going to USD while staying at home is a good idea to save on money, but I also want to get out of my normal surroundings and experience new things…
Penn State was cheap and had a trading lab which I loved…but too bad they dont accept anymore transfers if they took 2 semesters or more at another college.
Also Northeastern University has the same type lab and clubs, but super expensive…

Those are my first choices and of course Wharton if they let me in lol…but with cost on my mind I am looking at Berkley or UCLA or even SDSU…

I really love the stock market so I would prefer if the school i go into had a concentration in finance as well as a trading lab.

Any ideas let me know!
