I found out today that I was accepted at BU -- and last week I was accepted at BC. I know have a tough decision to make.

I am interesting in doing Finance and returning to the NY area after graduating in 2011.

What do you think has a better reputation? What is the smarter choice? All and any help welcome.. thank you!

I am not sure what you mean by finance, but if you mean corporate finance then probably BC, if Investment Banking then probably neither.

First of all, congratulations! Both are great schools and you will have a great experience in either program.

I would look closely into BC's second year scheduling. You'll have only night classes your second year with the convention being that most people continue their internship from the summer on a part time or full time basis. If that is something you want, BC would be perfect. Most, if not all, of those people are working with a Boston firm during the year.

If you want a true full time, two year program, you might appreciate BU more.

Hope that helps,

Jason

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
