I know nothing about the LACs so I won’t pretend that I do.

However, I was admitted to Ross and ended up turning it down and transferred to the University of Chicago.

I would say go with your best fit, because honestly that’s what it comes down too.

If you LIKE econ, then I would argue that U of C is one of the greatest places in the world to get a degree in Econ (and yes, even as an undergrad). However, we do have a program called CCIB (Chicago Careers in Business) where you go to weekly workshops and also take classes at the GSB with MBA students…it’s pretty solid.

If you like business classes, then go to Ross. Also, public school vs private school…they have different atmospheres, Ann Arbor vs Chicago…there are A LOT of differences between these schools…but UChicago is not a place where people don’t have fun thats full of nerds in case you were worried about that.

Also, I know Ross has their employment profile online so you can get their numbers. For U of C, JPMorgan took 35 or something last year, and Goldman takes 10+? I’m not sure, but there are about 10 kids each year who intern at Goldman, so that’s what I’m basing it off.

But. at the end of the day, getting that job from either of these schools depends more on you than the school, so again, go for fit, you’ll do better that way.
