After finally hearing back from all of the schools I have applied to, I’ve narrowed my decision down to UIUC, PSU, and IU. I was accepted into each school’s business programs, and I know all of them have good reputations. Currently, I am leaning towards going to Illinois because I believe overall, it is a stronger school than the other two, even though Indiana’s Kelley School of Business might have a slight edge on Illinois College of Business. I am hoping to major in Finance and then apply to law schools after that, and I think Illinois would help me the most with getting into a good law school(IF I decide to go to law school, might do MBA instead/stick with undergrad degree) and getting an overall good education, especially if I decide to change my major.
I am wondering if anyone has any experiences or advice that they could give to me that I can take into consideration. I am from Virginia, so Illinois is the farthest away of the three schools, and I am trying to ensure that my money and the distance I have to travel will be well worth it.
