I personally don't have a very high opinion of the worth of a BBA (although my school does boast the 5th best in the nation). I feel a MBA is vastly more important piece of paper, and a BBA's worth is really what you make of it, if that makes sense. | ||

Agreed with the other guy. It's your decision, obviously, but if you're definitely sure you're going into business, I'd save the money and just go to UofT. Unless you really want to get out of Canada or you really feel an affinity towards one of the other schools you were accepted to, it's more practical to just save the money for business school.

I'd definitely go with Columbia if you're interested in finance. The NYC location will give you access to so many internship/networking opportunities, and there's only a handful of schools (as in HYPSW) more prestigious than Columbia for finance. Personally I'm applying as a sophomore transfer to the following schools NYU Vanderbilt Cornell UPenn Northwestern UVA Georgetown I won't be hearing back from any until mid-April. I hope it goes well! | ||

What are you going into specifically? accounting? finance? marketing? consulting? In order to have a decent ROI, if you go to the American schools and pay 40k/year for tuition, you HAVE to basically go into consulting or finance (front office, eg. investment banking or sales and trading). All of the other specializations will make you roughly $45-$60 a year, after-taxes in Canada, that will be less than $40k. So if you're planning to go into accounting or something, you might as well do it in Canada. An accounting firm will pay you $45k/year starting no matter what university you came from. | ||

 . Dartmouth is also very strong, and Berkeley's Haas is just a straight up business management major I think. However, given your list, Columbia sounds like a good choice for you if you can afford it. We don't have a business major but if you're SEAS you can do Operations Research/Financial Engineering, and for CC you can do Financial Economics (or just economics) and we just got a business management concentration.

While many people here at Columbia do do finance, it's definitely not the only thing that pays, and a lot of people choose other careers. Plenty of other fields pay well, such as medicine, (big) law, technology, etc. Even within finance IBD and S&T aren't your only options. If you can get into the buy side its actually better for your lifestyle and the pay is just as good. Prop trading is ridiculously lucrative. Some people also choose options such as corporate finance or asset management. There's plenty of opportunity for a business interested person here in NYC, especially as a Columbia grad. You could also choose to go to grad school for PhDs in quantitative science and become a quant if you're science-y, and general professors get paid plenty as well. Finance is obviously an issue but please look at the future opportunities going to a good school as well . | ||

Sorry if it is somewhat off-topic, but I am just curious. Both are hard. I think applying to Oxford would be harder logistically/administratively. If anyone has questions about Stanford, please feel free to PM me. | ||
