“Why is it always the business students that have a problem making a business decision?”
Why are your posts always judgemental to 17-year old kids who, guess what, think a lot differently than you? Many kids have not taken a business class apart from maybe one on fundamentals. ROI would have to done, typically by the parents, because it involves differential in earnings, discounting, opportunity costs, things a high schooler is not going to know. And teenager are going to make emotional decisions, and it looks the OP has fallen in love with New York City.
“Got it?”
lol, is it possible to help without the condescending tone?
“My parents told me to not let the tuition discourage me from choosing NYU Stern.”
I’m assuming that NYU is your second choice behind Columbia (ED), since you’ve come off the waitlist and seriously considering it. Have a honest discussion on the finances, and if your parents are ok for all four years, then I’d enroll there.
