Hi everyone,

Imagine this situation - you are a student looking to have the most rigorous, challenging and reputable education possible (for future jobs). You have two options - either going to a C school (imagine A is the best type of school, F is the worst kind) for three years with a fourth year spent at an A school - or just going to a B school for four years. Assume all schools are equal in terms of fit and other factors.

What would you choose? Imagine for example a degree at University of Pittsburgh with a year at Columbia vs. an entire degree at UCLA.

Unfortunately I cannot disclose the actual schools involved for various reasons, but any comments are greatly appreciated!
