So I’m a highschool senior living in NC and I’ve been admitted to UNC Chapel Hill, UC San Diego, and the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I’ve been admitted to all these schools for economics but I don’t know which one to choose. I received a scholarship from UCSD for 30k a year which would make it around 24k a year for me to attend. Chapel hill would cost around 18k a year, and Michigan around 50k. I’ve seen that UCSD is ranked the highest for economics but Chapel hill and Michigan are ranked higher overall. Which one should I attend? I love California but I don’t know if the extra 6k would make it worth it. I’m leaning toward a career in real estate investing or investment banking and I also don’t know which school would have the best programs and opportunities for that.
If you are a high school senior, the Transfer Students section may not be the place to put your question.
Anyway, the net prices you list are:
UNC-CH $18k
UCSD $24k
Michigan $50k
It does not seem like you are that interested in Michigan for the much higher price.
How much will your parents contribute to your college costs?
UCSD intermediate microeconomics courses appear to be more math-intensive (with some multivariable calculus) than those at UNC-CH (single variable calculus).
