<p>I would advise you to check out these two threads for some good insight into the school/business.</p>

<p>As to the schools you mentioned about justifying higher tuition, I could understand going to UPenn > Stern (although CAS at UPenn vs stern would be close), but I don’t think you would want to go to ND for top wallstreet jobs paying full tuition. Cornell AEM and Stern are pretty close, but if you’re interested in purely working in finance I would recommend Stern just because you can intern during the year. (look at the concepts of target vs. nontarget schools). </p>
<p>I’ve heard that University of Wisconsin is pretty good for econ, and at 10k a year its great deal. If you’re a good student and you feel you can get a 3.8+ there in hard math fields, you might be able to land a great job after graduation. You could also go there for two years and transfer as well. I think you also have to ask whether you can easily afford Stern (no problem for your parents, only child) or whether it will be a challenge.</p>
