Hi All,

I has been accepted by U of Michigan at Ann Arbor, McGill, U of Toronto and UBC and on waitlist for UChicago for undergrad Economics.

I am very much confused at the moment and don’t know which I should choose. BTW, Money is not a factor for my selection of Univ.

My plan is that after my undergrad, I would do a postgraduate degree in the same or similar subject (Econ or Finance) in the top schools in the US or UK. I would like to work for big banks or finance corporations. Which Univ would be easier for me to find a job in this area later on.

If I look at the international rankings (Shanghai etc), U of T and UBC are much on top of McGill in Economics and Business, but Michigan is not that high up over the former two. It appears that they are much similar in the rannkings although McGill is lower.

On the sideline, what is the chance to get in UChicago off the waitlist?

I would llike to make decision on which to go soon, so that I can concentrate on preparation for my final IB exams.

Help please! Your early advices are much appreciated! Thanks!
