How much AP credits do you think you can get? Can you graduate early with AP credits at NU (thus cutting down on costs)?

NU would likely offer better opportunities to Wall Street and consulting. Goals-wise, that’s the biggest advantage (if you want to become an FA or go the grad school route, Wisconsin would be fine). Fit-wise, yes, it’s not as much of a party school as Madtown.

However, I’m not a fan of taking on gigantic debt, though.
