Choose between schools (need advise)

coprau · **Posted:** Mon Dec 20, 2010 3:38 pm

I was recently accepted to the following schools with the following aid. I have them listed according to what school I would prefer (regardless of financial aid). Which should I choose?

1) Vanderbilt, $0/year
2) Rochester, $20k/year
3) SMU, $23k/year
4) Purdue, Full Ride
5) George Washington, ?/year (don't know aid yet)
6) Case Western Reserve, $16k/year

I want to end up working in cities like Nashville, Indianapolis, Columbus, etc. as a corporate financial analyst. My wife will be looking for an HR job while I am in school.

What did you get on the GMAT, just out of curiosity?

You need to explain why your schools are ranked that way. If the difference between 1 and 2 is negligible then go with 2. However don't let money be the deciding factor unless it is essentially a tie.

honestly I'd go with purdue considering your goals, its a free ride to a good school. Vandy isn't THAT much better.

It depends upon your financial economy.

I will also go to Purdue if I had the opportunity. It is a free ride and once again that is too good to pass up. Go with Purdue
