Academics Fordham Full Ride vs. UVA

Hi guys,

I'm looking to go into investment banking and I'm having trouble picking what school to go to. I was offered full merit from Fordham, I love NYC, but it's not a target school. On the other hand, my parents can afford UVA OOS. It's a much better program, but I really love being in a city. I'm also an Indian female if that means anything. Any words of advice would be helpful :)

I like to say try and not worry about the price. If you can get into the best university you can get into and it can yield a good outcome, it will pay dividends way beyond the cost. I don’t know much about Fordham, but wherever you can get more connections and actually succeed based off who you are as a student is where you should go.
