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
