Are you absolutely sure you want to go into Banking, especially on the East Coast? If so, yes. Come here. Dartmouth definitely gives you a leg up over Haas. In the long run, you’ll be able to make up for the $80,000 with the opportunities Dartmouth gives you.

Beware that Dartmouth’s environment is very different from Cali’s, and you may feel out of place during your first term here. But the place grows on you over time, and you learn to love it. I had the same choices last year (Berkeley Haas Regents vs Dartmouth), and I chose Dartmouth at the last minute. I definitely don’t regret my year here, because I got exposed to so many things that my Berkeley friends will probably never experience within the “UC bubble.”

Go with where your heart tells you, and make sure YOU are happy and satisfied with the reasons behind your choice.

Congratulations on your offers from these two amazing schools!
