Nontarget LACs like Haverford, Bates (paying full tuition) vs. Large Public Universities like UMD, UF, and Penn State (OOS pay)

Although the LACs are more expensive, you have the benefit of the doubt for not having an undergrad finance program, while I've heard that students from large nontarget publics get burned alive in interviews with technicals... which environment is better for EB/BBIBD? Thanks!

 

i think a LAC would have slightly better placements unless ur a super hardo grinder. that being said pick the school you go to based on the location or environment u would be happy in. i went to williams/amherst and while we had pretty good placement i oftentimes wish i had just gone to ucla or berkeley
