NYU full ride or CBS at sticker price?

I’m particularly attached to CBS as it was my dream school but the scholarship from NYU is hard to ignore. Has anyone made a similar decision, did you follow your heart or brain?

Happy to hear your thoughts

I went to CBS! Loved the experience but I would take a full ride and network aggressively to get where you want to go.

NYU is also a great school and can network a lot to get to MBB too if that’s your goal. Tech also doesn’t care on school, maybe just better alumni network at CBS which is also not super useful in tech.

Have you asked CBS to reconsider your scholarship? Perhaps if you discuss your situation with someone they might offer you some money.

I have opened a procedure of scholarship reconsideration and have an amount in my head for which I would choose CBS over the full ride. But honestly my expectations are very low regarding the outcome
