<p>I have a serious question. Why IB? You are at an important crossroads in your life, and I would challenge you to find out your true motivations. Is it money? A great salary when you graduate? That isn’t always a guarantee, particularly in this uncertain economic climate. NYU is a great school, and you can pretty much go any direction you want. Stern has a very flexible undergraduate curriculum. Have you thought about pursuing an educational path that would allow you to truly make a positive impact on the world in your career? You could take classes on Development Economics, Social Impact, Sustainable Business, etc. </p>
<p>It’s up to you, so basically, the world is your oyster. You can have anything you want, so perhaps think about what’s important to you ASIDE from money. Just a thought.</p>
