My options right now are the University of Maryland (in-state) or University of Virginia (out of state).
UMD: 21k/year, directly admitted to Smith as a finance major, in honors college, and will probably try to double major in business analytics & operations management or computer science. UMD is a great school for sending kids to EY, Deloitte, etc but I'm not entirely sure what field I want to go into. It also has a very high ranked CS program
UVA: 68k/year for first two years, then 78k/year for last two. McIntire is ridiculously expensive and requires you to apply after two years of studies, so not guaranteed but I'm not too worried about applying.
Should I go to UMD and try to work my butt off to get to Wall Street and save the money? Or will it be incredibly difficult? My parents are willing to pay for my undergrad, but I feel guilty making them pay so much for UVA, especially if I may try to get an MBA after. Any thoughts appreciated!
PS I'm new to WSO so apologies if I put this in the wrong forum
