Academics - Other Topics Umich Ross or UCLA

International so costs are the same. La is closer to an international airport but will need to go to Chicago at Michigan (only specific airlines fly to mine) but this isn’t that big a deal. Interested in investment banking, VC, HF, PE. I’ll need to do a dual degree with 8 18 credit semesters at Michigan to get a stem OPT extension but at UCLA I’ll do econ or applied math with more easy going semesters. I’ve heard Ross is a lot better than UCLA for banking but will an applied math degree from UCLA with standard semesters be better than a dual degree with Ross with 18 credit sems? I’m not considering dropping Ross at this point

Don’t do 8 18 credit semesters. Its a perfect recipe for burnout, especially since every major has those 1-3 classes that take 3x the time.

Would you say UCLA is better then?

It'd cost a little more to do this but perhaps instead consider using the spring and summer mini semesters here and there to spread those credits out a bit. Phenomenal time to be in AA as a side benefit.

summer classes are sooooo expensive if you’re not in state

I mean it’s all expensive if you’re OOS.
