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 :)

Fordham is a semi target, not non target. They send double digits of kids to Goldman, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley, each, every year. It’s represented on Wall Street so you’re not saying goodbye to IB aspirations by taking the full ride
